Where they pull apart

Dux-Soup

Stands out: The cheap Chrome LinkedIn workhorse ($11-ish Pro) for list actions, not a pretty cloud sequencer.

Watch out: Pro is visit/connect automation, not a full cloud inbox. Turbo is $41.25 annual; Cloud Dux $74.17. LinkedIn ToS still applies.

Not the right fit for

  • Teams that need cloud, not Chrome
  • Enterprises that refuse automation
  • People who want email sequences in the same login

TexAu

Stands out: Recipes chain capture, enrich, and outreach steps in the cloud, so you are not babysitting a Chrome extension overnight.

Watch out: LinkedIn can still restrict aggressive automation. TexAu is a workflow engine, not a dedicated sequencer with warmup and a unibox.

Not the right fit for

  • Teams that only need a Gmail mail merge
  • Enterprises that want a sales-engagement suite with legal safe-harbor copy

Pros and cons

Dux-Soup

  • Among the cheapest public LinkedIn automation seats
  • Free trial on the plans page
  • Cloud Dux exists if you outgrow Chrome
  • Chrome runtime and ToS risk
  • Pro is not a full sequencer
  • Email is not the product

TexAu

  • Cloud recipes for LinkedIn and X, not a laptop Chrome plugin
  • Published $79/mo listing floor you can budget against
  • Reusable playbooks for agencies running the same motion twice
  • Not a cold-email sequencer with warmup and placement tests
  • LinkedIn risk sits with how hard you run the recipes
  • No MCP or public API called out on the listing
