Where they pull apart

Dux-Soup

Stands out: The Chrome LinkedIn workhorse (STACKED local from $41.25) for list actions, not a pretty cloud sequencer.

Watch out: STACKED local is visit/connect automation, not a full cloud inbox. STACKED cloud is $74.17 annual. 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
