Frequently Asked Questions
Is Dux-Soup safe for my LinkedIn account?
Dux-Soup operates as a Chrome extension that automates actions in your browser. Browser-based automation carries inherent risk since LinkedIn can detect extension activity. LinkAngler uses cloud-based API access which runs independently of your browser and mimics natural behavior patterns.
Why is Dux-Soup so much cheaper?
Dux-Soup's $14.99/month Pro plan covers basic automation (profile visits, connection requests, messages). For cloud-based operation comparable to LinkAngler, the Cloud Dux plan is $99/month. LinkAngler includes AI discovery and scoring at every tier, which Dux-Soup does not offer at any price.
Does Dux-Soup work when my computer is off?
The standard Dux-Soup extension requires your browser to be open and running. Their Cloud Dux plan ($99/month) adds background operation. LinkAngler is cloud-native from the start -- campaigns run 24/7 regardless of your device state.
Can I use Dux-Soup with my CRM?
Yes, Dux-Soup has strong CRM integrations including HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, and a two-way sync with GoHighLevel. LinkAngler does not currently have native CRM integrations -- this is an area where Dux-Soup has a clear advantage.
Does LinkAngler offer a browser extension?
No. LinkAngler is intentionally cloud-only. Browser extensions carry account safety risks and require your computer to be running. Cloud-based automation is more reliable and safer for your LinkedIn account.
