Dux-Soup vs Dripify: pricing, email steps and which is better

The short answer

Dux-Soup is no longer the cheap LinkedIn tool, and Dripify is the one that adds email. Dux-Soup retired its $14.99 Pro plan and now sells STACKED: Local at $41.25 a seat a month on annual billing as a desktop app, or Cloud at $74.17. Its sequences are LinkedIn only. Dripify is $39, $59 and $79 a seat annually, runs in the cloud on every plan and includes email steps plus 100 email finder credits. Buy Dux-Soup for unlimited LinkedIn campaigns with native CRM sync, Dripify for LinkedIn plus email. AutoMail is for when email is the main channel.

Quick verdict

Who each tool is for

Both Dux-Soup and Dripify are capable. Here is the shortest honest way to choose, with where AutoMail fits.

Pick Dux-Soup

LinkedIn is the only channel, you want as many concurrent campaigns as you like, and your CRM is Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive or HighLevel. STACKED Local at $41.25 a seat annually includes unlimited campaigns and native CRM sync, which is cheaper than Dripify Pro if you are happy to keep a machine running.

Pick Dripify

You want LinkedIn and a follow-up email in one sequence, running in the cloud, without paying for a top tier. Every Dripify plan includes email steps and 100 email finder credits a month; Pro at $59 a seat on annual billing adds unlimited campaigns and costs less than Dux-Soup Cloud.

Pick AutoMail

Email is the channel that books the meetings and LinkedIn is the second touch. The AI researches each company, writes the opener and follow-ups for that prospect, warms and rotates your own sending inboxes, pauses the moment someone replies and sends interested prospects your booking link. Flat per workspace, from $39 a month on annual billing.

Dux-Soup and Dripify end up on the same shortlist because they do the same core job: connection requests, messages and follow-ups on LinkedIn, sent on a schedule so a rep does not have to click through profiles all afternoon. Both bill per seat, both connect one LinkedIn account per seat, both work with Sales Navigator, and both offer a trial without a sales call.

Most comparisons you will find still describe a Dux-Soup that no longer exists. In September 2026 its pricing page listed one product, STACKED, in two editions: Local at $55 a seat a month, or $41.25 on annual billing, installed as a Mac or Windows desktop app, and Cloud at $99, or $74.17 annually, running on Dux-Soup's servers. The old Pro Dux plan at $14.99 and the separate Turbo and Cloud Dux tiers are gone; even the old pro-plan URL now shows STACKED pricing. So the question is no longer whether Dux-Soup is the budget option. At one seat, its cheapest plan costs about what Dripify Basic does.

That moves the decision onto two things price used to hide. First, where the automation runs: Dux-Soup Local needs your computer on, while every Dripify plan runs in the cloud. Second, email: every action on Dux-Soup's feature list is a LinkedIn action (connect, message, InMail, visit, endorse, follow, like a post), while Dripify puts email steps in the same sequence on every plan, Basic included.

The third option

Where AutoMail fits between them

The AI writes the sequence

Both tools above leave the copy to you. AutoMail researches each prospect and writes a genuine 1:1 opener and follow-ups, so relevance, not just volume, drives the reply rate.

Deliverability built in

Inbox rotation, gradual warm-up and a spam-score check on every send keep personalized copy in the primary inbox, built for the 2026 Google and Microsoft sender rules.

Replies become meetings

When a prospect answers, the sequence pauses, intent is classified, and meeting-ready replies route to your booking link and CRM. Flat per workspace, unlimited seats, no credits.

One honest caveat: AutoMail has no built-in lead database, so bring or sync your own verified list. If prospecting data is what you need most, keep a data tool for that and run the outreach here.

Good questions

Dux-Soup vs Dripify, answered

Dripify is better if you want email in the same sequence or campaigns that run with your laptop closed, because every Dripify plan is cloud based and includes email steps. Dux-Soup is better for LinkedIn only with deep CRM sync: STACKED Local gives unlimited campaigns and native Salesforce, HubSpot and Pipedrive integrations for $41.25 a seat annually.
Decide on email and on where it runs. For LinkedIn plus email in the cloud, buy Dripify Pro at $59 a seat annually. For LinkedIn only on a machine you keep running, Dux-Soup Local at $41.25 is cheaper than Dripify Pro and has no campaign cap. If you need Dux-Soup in the cloud, it costs $74.17, more than Dripify Pro.
At one seat on annual billing they start almost level: Dux-Soup Local is $41.25 and Dripify Basic is $39, but Basic allows one campaign. For unlimited campaigns, Dux-Soup Local at $41.25 beats Dripify Pro at $59. For cloud sending, Dripify Pro at $59 beats Dux-Soup Cloud at $74.17.
Dux-Soup sells STACKED in two editions. Local is $55 a seat a month, or $41.25 on annual billing, and runs as a Mac or Windows desktop app. Cloud is $99 a seat, or $74.17 annually, and runs on Dux-Soup's servers. Seats get 10 percent off per 10, up to 50 percent, and there is a 14-day trial.
No. The Pro Dux plan at $14.99 is no longer on Dux-Soup's pricing page, and its old pro-plan URL now shows STACKED pricing. The cheapest Dux-Soup seat in September 2026 is STACKED Local at $55 a month, or $41.25 on annual billing. Many review sites still quote the old figure.
Dripify is $39 a user a month on Basic, $59 on Pro and $79 on Advanced with annual billing, or $59, $79 and $99 monthly. Enterprise is quoted by seat count. Each seat connects one LinkedIn account, and every plan includes email steps and 100 email finder credits a month.
Not as a sequence step. Dux-Soup's pricing page lists LinkedIn actions only: connect, message, InMail, visit, endorse, follow and like a post. It can push contacts and replies to your CRM or to Zapier and Make, where another tool sends the email. Dripify runs email steps inside the LinkedIn sequence on every plan.
Not in its current form. STACKED Local installs as a desktop app for Mac and Windows with dashboard access in the browser, and STACKED Cloud runs on Dux-Soup's servers. Local campaigns stop when your machine sleeps; Cloud campaigns and every Dripify plan keep running around the clock.
Both automate connection requests, messages and follow-ups and both work with Sales Navigator. Pick Dux-Soup for unlimited campaigns, InMail steps and native CRM sync on one seat. Pick Dripify for cloud sending on every plan, email steps inside the sequence and a built-in email finder.
Neither is safe in the strict sense. LinkedIn's User Agreement prohibits third-party automation, and restrictions land on your own profile. Dripify runs each account from a dedicated IP in the cloud; Dux-Soup Local runs from your own machine and connection. Staying under about 100 invitations a week matters more than the tool.
Partly. Dux-Soup offers AI message personalization inside campaigns and Dripify gives you templates and profile variables, but you still design the sequence. AutoMail does the whole job for the email channel: it researches each prospect, writes the full sequence, sends from your warmed inboxes and routes interested replies to your booking link.
