The honest comparison
Every tool has strengths. Here is where each one shines -- and where it falls short.
What Dux-Soup does well
Low entry price
Pro Dux starts at $14.99/mo, one of the cheapest ways to automate LinkedIn profile visits and basic actions.
Long-established
One of the oldest LinkedIn automation tools, with a large user base and extensive documentation.
Cloud option
The Cloud plan ($99/mo) runs automation server-side, so your computer doesn't need to stay on, unlike the Pro and Turbo extension tiers.
Control API
Turbo and Cloud expose a REST API to start/stop campaigns and pull data, plus webhooks and Zapier.
Where Dux-Soup falls short
Extension-bound on lower tiers
Pro ($14.99) and Turbo ($55) run as a Chrome extension that needs your browser and computer on. Only the $99 Cloud plan is truly always-on.
No MCP or AI-agent tool layer
The control API manages Dux-Soup's own runs. It is not an MCP server and cannot act as a LinkedIn tool layer for an AI agent.
Outreach only
No content publishing, no post or profile analytics, no content intelligence, and no AI inbox. Dux-Soup automates visits, connects, and messages.
Automation gated to Turbo+
The $14.99 Pro tier only does profile visits and data extraction. Real drip campaigns start at the $55 Turbo tier.
Why teams choose Crispy
Live MCP catalog (164 tools)
Full LinkedIn access for any MCP-compatible AI agent: outreach, content, inbox, search, analytics. Dux-Soup automates outreach actions only.
No browser dependency
Crispy runs entirely server-side, so campaigns continue whether your machine is on or off. Dux-Soup only matches this on its $99 Cloud tier.
Built MCP-first for AI agents
Your agent connects to Crispy directly and runs the whole workflow. Dux-Soup's API only controls its own extension runs.
Content, intelligence, and safety
Writing style AI, content analytics, and per-category daily safety limits, none of which Dux-Soup offers.
Which is right for you?
Dux-Soup
Choose Dux-Soup if you want the cheapest possible entry into LinkedIn automation and don't mind running a Chrome extension, or you'll pay for the Cloud tier and only need outreach actions.
Crispy
Choose Crispy if you want always-on, server-side automation your AI agent controls over MCP, the complete LinkedIn surface, and data portability with per-category safety limits.
