Jorge LewisDisclosure: GTM Bud is our product. We include it alongside competitors to give you a complete picture, and we call out its limitations honestly.
Dux-Soup pricing opens at $14.99 a month, the cheapest headline in LinkedIn automation, and the headline is doing a lot of work. Dux-Soup is a Chrome browser extension that automates LinkedIn profile visits, connection requests, and messages, and the $14.99 Pro tier buys exactly that and nothing more. The moment you want actual campaigns, you are at $55. The moment you want campaigns that run with your laptop closed, you are at $99, a 6.6x multiple of the sticker that got you in the door by our own arithmetic. This guide decodes the three-tier ladder, the annual discount, the agency pricing, where the third-party coverage disagrees with itself, and the account-risk line item that never appears on an invoice.
One thing straight before the numbers: we have not run Dux-Soup on client campaigns ourselves, and dux-soup.com was not directly reachable from our research environment, so this is a research-based decode with every figure attributed to the named third-party coverage that published it, and rival-authored sources flagged as such. The evaluator’s lens is first-hand, though. Our parent agency, Referral Program Pros, has booked over 7,000 meetings across more than 4,000 outbound campaigns, and we built GTM Bud on that playbook, backed by a written guarantee: 5 percent positive replies on LinkedIn or 1.5 percent on email, or a full refund. Pricing LinkedIn outreach for a living is why a $14.99 anchor with a $99 ceiling is worth decoding carefully.
What does Dux-Soup actually cost in 2026?
Dux-Soup costs $14.99 per month for Pro Dux, $55 per month for Turbo Dux, and $99 per month for Cloud Dux, per leadhaste’s 2026 pricing guide and the vendor-supplied G2 and Capterra plan listings. Annual billing drops those to $135, $495, and $890 a year, which works out to $11.25, $41.25, and $74.17 a month, a saving of roughly 25 percent by our own division. Agency pricing starts at $371 per month for five Cloud seats, per the same leadhaste guide. A free starter edition exists for profile visits and limited data export, and every new account gets a 14-day free trial of the Turbo feature set with no card required, per leadhaste’s 2026 review. The decode that matters sits in the feature gates: drip campaigns only exist from Turbo up, and only Cloud Dux runs with your browser closed.
Here is the full ladder with sources:

Which Dux-Soup plan do you actually need?
Almost nobody who wants outbound results should model the $14.99 figure, because Pro Dux is an action clicker, not a campaign tool. Per syncgtm’s 2026 review and leadhaste’s plan breakdown, Pro sends connection requests and single messages to lists you build, and exports data, with no multi-step sequences, no CRM integration, and no campaign analytics. Real outreach runs on follow-ups: a connection request, a welcome message, two or three value touches spaced over days. That workflow is the drip campaign feature, and it is gated to Turbo at $55 a month, 3.7 times the entry sticker.
Turbo is where Dux-Soup becomes the product its reputation describes, with drip campaigns of up to 12 messages, CRM sync, and campaign stats, per the G2 and Capterra listings. But Turbo still runs inside your Chrome session, which means your computer stays on, your browser stays open, and campaigns stop when either does not. Cloud Dux at $99 a month removes that dependency by executing from Dux-Soup’s servers, which is the configuration most buyers imagine when they hear “LinkedIn automation.” So the honest model is simple: hobbyist prospecting is $14.99, real campaigns are $55 plus an always-on machine, and set-and-forget automation is $99. The cheapest extension headline in the category and the price of the product people actually want are separated by a factor of between 3.7 and 6.6.
Where the Dux-Soup pricing coverage disagrees
The core three-tier ladder is unusually consistent across sources, but the edges wobble, and the wobbles are worth printing. On Cloud Dux, leadhaste’s 2026 guide and the G2 and Capterra listings put the monthly rate at $99, while moderninbound’s Dux-Soup vs Linked Helper comparison lists Cloud at $82.50 a month and emelia’s 2026 pricing hub, flagged here because emelia is a rival cold-email vendor, prints the Cloud plan near 88 euros. The most likely reading is that the lower figures are annualized equivalents or currency conversions presented as monthly rates, but that is our inference, not a published reconciliation. Where sources disagree like this, verify the live number at checkout before you budget.
Two consistency notes against our own record. Our earlier Dux-Soup alternatives guide described the entry tier at roughly $11 to $15 a month, which matches the $11.25 annual and $14.99 monthly rates printed here, and our Linked Helper alternatives comparison printed the same $14.99, $55, and $99 ladder. No drift to report, which for a vendor in this category is itself notable: Dux-Soup’s published pricing has been stable while most of the category reshuffles tiers yearly.
What does the extension architecture add to the bill?
The line item that never appears on the invoice is account risk, and with Dux-Soup it is priced into the architecture. Pro and Turbo run as a Chrome extension injecting actions directly into your live LinkedIn session, from your own IP address, next to your normal browsing. LinkedIn’s help center names browser extensions and bots as prohibited software, and an extension gives LinkedIn’s detection systems the clearest signal the category can produce. Cloud Dux moves execution to Dux-Soup servers, which removes the local-browser signal, though third-party coverage and our own alternatives research describe it as syncing your LinkedIn session to Dux-Soup infrastructure rather than a ground-up cloud platform.
This is the same extension-versus-cloud spectrum we mapped in our Expandi vs Waalaxy comparison, and it reframes the ladder. Dux-Soup’s $55 Turbo undercuts cloud-first tools like Expandi at around $99 a month precisely because it leaves the risk architecture with you. By the time you pay $99 for Cloud Dux to buy that risk down, the price advantage over purpose-built cloud platforms has evaporated. What actually gets accounts restricted is behavior as much as architecture, and our guide to whether LinkedIn automation is safe covers the volume, ramp-up, and reply-handling discipline that matters on any tool. But as a pricing decode, the rule holds: the cheap tiers are cheap partly because you are the one holding the account risk.
What Dux-Soup’s price never includes
Dux-Soup’s bill is the smallest line in the real cost of running it, because on every tier you supply the inputs. The tool does not find prospects, so you are searching and building lists yourself, and serious targeting in practice means a LinkedIn Sales Navigator seat at roughly $100 a month on top, based on LinkedIn’s published Premium pricing range. The tool does not write messages, so the copy that decides your acceptance and reply rates is on you. And on Pro and Turbo, the tool does not even run unattended, so your laptop becomes infrastructure. Stack it honestly and a working Turbo setup is $55 for the tool, around $100 for Sales Navigator, plus the hours each week that list-building and copywriting consume. The extension turns out to be the cheapest component of the whole system.
That is not a knock on Dux-Soup so much as a definition of what it sells: execution of clicks, with everything upstream left to the operator. If you want the operating model where the platform does the upstream work too, that is a different product shape. GTM Bud researches prospects against your ICP, writes personalized LinkedIn and email messages from the playbooks our agency used across 4,000+ campaigns, and runs the sending from the cloud at $600 per month per LinkedIn sender account, or $1,500 quarterly, on a 14-day trial. More expensive than any Dux-Soup tier, and it should be, because it is priced against the lead sourcing, copywriting, and operation that Dux-Soup’s $14.99 headline quietly leaves on your desk.
Frequently asked questions about Dux-Soup pricing
Is there a free version of Dux-Soup?
Yes, two of them. A free starter edition exists indefinitely, limited to automated profile visits and basic data export with no campaigns or follow-ups, per syncgtm’s 2026 review. Separately, every new account gets a 14-day free trial of the Turbo feature set with no card required, per leadhaste’s 2026 coverage. The starter edition is a demo, not a working outreach tool, so treat the Turbo trial as the real evaluation window and run a full sequence inside it.
How much does Dux-Soup cost per year if you pay annually?
Annual billing is listed at $135 a year for Pro, $495 for Turbo, and $890 for Cloud Dux, per leadhaste’s 2026 pricing guide and toolradar’s pricing calculator. That is $11.25, $41.25, and $74.17 a month, roughly 25 percent below the monthly rates by our own division. The discount is real, but prepaying a year for an extension that LinkedIn policy prohibits is a risk decision as much as a math decision.
What is the difference between Turbo Dux and Cloud Dux?
Execution location, mostly. Both include drip campaigns of up to 12 messages, CRM integrations, and campaign analytics, per the G2 and Capterra plan listings. Turbo runs them through the Chrome extension, so your machine must stay on and your browser open. Cloud Dux runs the same campaigns from Dux-Soup’s servers around the clock with your browser closed, and adds API access. The $44 a month between the tiers is effectively the price of closing your laptop.
How much does Dux-Soup cost for agencies or teams?
Cloud Agency pricing starts at $371 per month for five seats, about $74 per seat, per leadhaste’s 2026 pricing guide, with Pro and Turbo agency bundles priced on higher minimum seat counts. That per-seat rate sits close to the single-seat Cloud annual equivalent, so the agency tier buys centralized management more than a deep volume discount, and agencies still supply the lead lists and copy on every seat.
Is Dux-Soup worth it compared to cloud LinkedIn automation tools?
It is the cheapest serious entry point in the category, and that is its honest pitch. You trade the savings for extension-level account risk on Pro and Turbo, and no lead sourcing or copywriting on any tier. Cloud-first tools charge around $99 a month for safer architecture alone. If you would rather not operate a tool at all, done-for-you outbound replaces the operator role entirely, with sourcing, copy, and sending handled for you under a written reply-rate guarantee.
Price the system, not the sticker
The Dux-Soup pricing decode reduces to one pattern: $14.99 is the price of the headline, $55 is the price of the product, and $99 is the price of the product working the way you imagined it. All three figures are consistent across leadhaste’s 2026 guide and the G2 and Capterra listings, the annual rates run about 25 percent under monthly, and the 14-day Turbo trial with no card is a genuinely low-risk way to test the workflow. If you have lead lists, message templates, time to operate the tool, and tolerance for extension-level account risk, Dux-Soup remains the budget benchmark the category is measured against. If what you are actually buying is booked meetings rather than automation software, price the whole system instead: tool, Sales Navigator, your hours, and the risk. That total is what GTM Bud’s Dux-Soup alternative is priced against, with AI prospect research, agency-playbook copy, and cloud LinkedIn plus email sending at $600 per month per sender account, guaranteed at 5 percent positive replies on LinkedIn or 1.5 percent on email, or a full refund. The cheapest sticker and the cheapest cost per positive reply are rarely the same line, and only one of them pays you back.
