Dux-Soup costs $55 a seat a month for STACKED Local, or $41.25 a month on annual billing, and $99 a seat for STACKED Cloud, or $74.17 a month annually. Those are the only two plans on its pricing page in September 2026. The $14.99 Pro Dux plan that most reviews and comparison sites still quote is gone, so the cheapest way into Dux-Soup now costs about the same as a Dripify Basic seat. Seats get 10 percent off per 10, up to 50 percent, and there is a 14-day trial. Every campaign step is a LinkedIn action; there is no email step.
Dux-Soup pricing in 2026: the two STACKED plans
Dux-Soup now sells one product, called STACKED, and you choose where it runs. Both editions include the same campaign features. The difference is whether the automation lives on your computer or on Dux-Soup's servers.
| Plan | Monthly billing | Annual billing | Where it runs | What you get |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| STACKED Local | $55 per seat a month | $41.25 per seat a month | Desktop app on Mac or Windows | Unlimited concurrent campaigns, AI message personalization, campaign statistics, lead management, CSV export, native integrations |
| STACKED Cloud | $99 per seat a month | $74.17 per seat a month | Dux-Soup's servers, around the clock | Everything in Local, plus campaigns that keep running with your machine off, one dashboard for unlimited accounts |
Annual billing takes 25 percent off both plans. Prices are per seat, and each seat runs one LinkedIn account. Both editions work with standard LinkedIn, Sales Navigator and Recruiter, and both connect natively to Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive, HighLevel, Freshsales, SharpSpring, Slack and Microsoft Teams, with Zapier and Make libraries for everything else.
What happened to Pro Dux, Turbo Dux and Cloud Dux?
They were folded into STACKED. The old line-up had three tiers, and the two that survive kept their exact prices under new names. The cheap one did not survive at all, and even Dux-Soup's old pro-plan URL now shows the STACKED price table.
| Old plan | Old price (monthly / annual) | What it is now |
|---|---|---|
| Pro Dux | $14.99 / $11.25 | Retired, no equivalent plan |
| Turbo Dux | $55 / $41.25 | STACKED Local, same price |
| Cloud Dux | $99 / $74.17 | STACKED Cloud, same price |
This matters if you are budgeting from a review. Pro Dux was the reason Dux-Soup sat at the bottom of every "cheapest LinkedIn automation tool" list. A buyer who reads one of those lists and expects to pay $11.25 will find the real entry price is almost four times that. The flip side is that the entry plan now includes what used to be Turbo: unlimited drip campaigns and the CRM integrations.
How much does Dux-Soup cost for a team?
Multiply the seat price by the number of people running LinkedIn campaigns, then apply the volume discount. Dux-Soup's pricing page lists 10 percent off per 10 seats, capped at 50 percent, and lets you pick between fixed seats paid upfront and flexible seats billed on usage (on Cloud, metered above 5 seats). Here is what that looks like at list price on annual billing, before any volume discount:
| Team size | STACKED Local, annual | STACKED Cloud, annual | Dripify Pro, annual (for reference) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 seat | $41.25 a month | $74.17 a month | $59 a month |
| 3 seats | $123.75 a month | $222.51 a month | $177 a month |
| 5 seats | $206.25 a month | $370.85 a month | $295 a month |
| 10 seats | $412.50 a month, less the 10-seat discount | $741.70 a month, less the 10-seat discount | $590 a month |
Two things stand out. Local is the cheapest way to run unlimited LinkedIn campaigns on a seat, by about $18 a month against Dripify Pro. Cloud is the most expensive of the three, and it is the plan most teams actually need, because a sales rep's laptop sleeps overnight and on weekends and a Local campaign sleeps with it.
Compare Dux-Soup pricing with the alternatives
Annual price first, monthly in brackets, read on each vendor's own pricing page in September 2026. The email column is the question most US teams end up asking.
| Tool | Entry price | Runs in the cloud from | Email steps in the sequence | Billed by |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dux-Soup | $41.25 ($55) | $74.17 ($99) | No | Per seat |
| Dripify | $39 ($59), one campaign | $39, every plan | Yes, every plan | Per user |
| Linked Helper | $10 ($15) | Desktop app | No | Per LinkedIn account |
| Waalaxy | EUR 19, 50% off yearly | Every paid plan | Business plan only (EUR 69) | Per user, local currency |
| Expandi | $79 ($99) | Every plan | Yes | Per LinkedIn account |
| HeyReach | $63 ($79) | Every plan | No, LinkedIn only | Per sender |
If you want cloud sending plus email in one sequence, Dripify is cheaper than Dux-Soup Cloud at every seat count we priced. We set the two side by side, row by row, in our Dux-Soup vs Dripify comparison, and the Dripify pricing breakdown covers its daily limits and credits.

Is Dux-Soup worth it in 2026?
Yes, for a specific buyer: someone who automates LinkedIn only, lives in Salesforce, HubSpot or Pipedrive, and wants many campaigns running at once on one seat. Local at $41.25 a month on annual billing gives that person unlimited campaigns, InMail steps and native CRM sync, which is more than Dripify Basic offers at a similar price.
It is harder to justify for two other buyers. If campaigns need to run while you are offline, you pay $74.17 for Cloud, more than Dripify Pro or Advanced's cloud seats deliver with email included. And if the plan was always "connect on LinkedIn, then follow up by email", Dux-Soup cannot run the email half, so you are paying for a second tool anyway.
Does Dux-Soup include email outreach?
No. Every action on Dux-Soup's feature list is a LinkedIn action: connect, message, InMail, visit a profile, endorse, follow and like a post. It can push contacts and replies into your CRM, or into Zapier and Make, where another tool sends the email. Dripify, Expandi and Waalaxy Business run an email step inside the LinkedIn sequence.
That is a sensible design for a LinkedIn tool, and it is also where most outbound teams hit the limit. LinkedIn caps most accounts at about 100 invitations a week, whatever any tool allows, so reach per seat is fixed. Email is the channel that scales, but only from properly set up sending infrastructure: secondary domains with SPF, DKIM and DMARC, warmed inboxes, rotation across them and a different message for each prospect. None of the LinkedIn tools above does that part.
Does Dux-Soup have a free plan?
No free plan is listed. Dux-Soup offers a 14-day free trial when you download STACKED, and after that you choose Local or Cloud. The old free Starter edition that some pages mention is not on the current pricing page.
Where AutoMail fits next to Dux-Soup
Plenty of teams keep a LinkedIn tool for the first touch and move email to a dedicated sender. That is the half AutoMail does. It researches each company, writes the opener and every follow-up for that specific prospect, warms and rotates your own sending inboxes with a spam check before each send, pauses the sequence the moment someone replies and sends interested prospects your booking link. Pricing is flat per workspace with unlimited seats, from $49 a month or $39 on annual billing, so adding the email channel for a five-person team costs less than one extra Dux-Soup Cloud seat per rep.
Some prospects will answer neither the invitation nor the email, and for a short list of high-value accounts a phone touch is the third channel. Teams that do not want reps dialing all afternoon hand that step to an AI agent that makes the qualifying call and books the meeting, and keep LinkedIn and email running underneath it.
How to budget Dux-Soup before you buy
- Decide Local or Cloud first. If any rep closes their laptop at night, price Cloud. Local only works while the machine and app are running.
- Count the seats that actually run campaigns. Each seat is one LinkedIn account. Managers who only read the dashboard do not need a seat.
- Check the volume discount at your seat count. It starts at 10 seats, so it does not change the bill for a small team.
- Price the email half separately. If your sequence includes email, add a sender to the budget, or compare against a tool with email built in, such as Dripify, before you commit to annual billing.
- Use the 14-day trial on your real account at a low volume. Start at 40 to 60 invitations a week and climb, whatever the tool's settings allow.
