Personade vs Dux-Soup

The Dux-Soup alternative that runs in the cloud for $49

Dux-Soup is one of the oldest LinkedIn automation tools. It comes as a desktop app you keep running, or a cloud version at almost twice the price. Personade runs from the cloud, every feature included, for $49 a month.

The short version

Dux-Soup Local is $55 a month per seat ($41.25 billed annually) and runs on your Mac or Windows machine, so the laptop stays open. Dux-Soup Cloud runs on their servers for $99 a month per seat ($74.17 annually). Personade runs from the cloud on every plan, at $49 a month or $39 billed yearly, with a fixed residential IP and safe limits included. Dux-Soup has CRM and Zapier integrations that we do not.

Why people look for a Dux-Soup alternative

  1. 1

    Cloud is $99 there, $49 here

    Dux-Soup charges $99 a month per seat to run campaigns from their infrastructure. Personade only runs from the cloud, and the price for that is $49 a month for one account. Close the laptop and the sequence carries on.

  2. 2

    Local means software you keep running

    The $55 Local plan is a desktop app for Mac or Windows. It only works while the machine is on and the app is open. That is fine for some people. It is not the same as a tool that works while you sleep.

  3. 3

    Safety set-up is included, not something you sort out

    Every Personade account gets a fixed residential IP, a three-week warm-up, daily limits that vary a little each day, and working hours in your time zone. You do not choose a plan for it or set it up yourself.

Stay on Dux-Soup if

  • You rely on the Salesforce, Slack, Zapier or Make integrations.
  • You are happy running a desktop app on a machine that stays on, and $55 suits you.
  • You buy many seats and the volume discount brings the price down for you.

Dux-Soup has been around a long time and does the job. The argument here is about where it runs and what that costs.

Switch to Personade if

  • You want it running from the cloud without paying $99 a seat for it.
  • You want to close the laptop and have the sequence carry on.
  • You want the safety set-up (fixed address, warm-up, limits) done for you.

One plan, every feature, 14 days free.

Common questions

Dux-Soup or Personade?

Is Personade a Dux-Soup alternative?
Yes. Both automate LinkedIn outreach: find leads, visit profiles, send connection requests and follow-ups. The main difference is where it runs. Dux-Soup's entry plan is a desktop app; its cloud plan is $99 a seat. Personade runs from the cloud on every plan at $49.
Which is cheaper, Dux-Soup or Personade?
For cloud automation, Personade at $49 a month is about half of Dux-Soup Cloud at $99 per seat. Dux-Soup Local, the desktop app, is $55 a month, or $41.25 billed annually. Personade is $49 a month, or $39 billed yearly, so it costs a little less on both and runs from the cloud.
Does Personade have Dux-Soup's integrations?
No. Dux-Soup Local connects to Slack, Salesforce, Zapier and Make. Personade exports leads and results to CSV, and that is it for now. If you need a live CRM sync, Dux-Soup has it and we do not.
Can I move my leads from Dux-Soup?
You can export your leads from Dux-Soup as CSV and upload them to Personade, then build the sequence with the same steps. Personade's do-not-contact list keeps anyone you have already reached out of new sequences.
