Why people switch from Dux-Soup
Dux-Soup is a browser extension like LinkedOwl, which means it shares the same architectural advantage: your credentials stay local. But Dux-Soup charges $55/month ($660/year) for features that have not meaningfully evolved since launch. It cannot scrape post engagement data to find warm leads. It cannot scan LinkedIn group members. And it charges you every single month for the privilege. LinkedOwl does all of this for $99 once.
FAQ
Both are Chrome extensions. What is the difference? +
Architecture is similar (both run in your browser). The differences are features and pricing. LinkedOwl includes warm lead scraping from post engagement and group scanning, which Dux-Soup does not. And LinkedOwl is a one-time purchase instead of a monthly subscription.
Is Dux-Soup safer because it has been around longer? +
Longevity does not equal safety. Both tools run locally in Chrome. Safety depends on behavior patterns (delays, daily limits), not brand age. LinkedOwl has built-in safety caps that cannot be disabled.
Can I import my Dux-Soup data? +
Export your leads from Dux-Soup as CSV and import them into LinkedOwl via the dashboard.
