Expandi vs Dux-Soup
These two LinkedIn automation tools differ most in where the work runs and how the bill is built. Expandi sells one Business plan at a flat monthly figure, runs only in the cloud and gives a 7-day trial with every feature. Dux-Soup charges per seat, lets you choose between a desktop app and a managed cloud build, and mentions no trial on its pricing page. Expandi names a Dutch legal entity, while Dux-Soup shows no company, address or country on the pages we read.
Sebastiaan SmitsFounderVendors can pay for more visibility on this website, for example a higher place in a ranking or more room on a page. Commercial relationships can also affect which products we feature and how prominently. Every vendor link is marked the same, whatever the arrangement behind it. How that works.
Choose Expandi ifyou are a single operator or a small team that wants branching sequences, a trial before paying and a named Dutch company behind the tool. You are also fine with everything running in the vendor's cloud.
Choose Dux-Soup ifyou want to decide whether campaigns run from your own Mac or Windows machine or from managed servers, and you pay per seat for it. You can accept buying without a trial and without a named company on the site.

Where they differ
Expandi 3 · Dux-Soup 2 · open 1- 01
Desktop app or cloud only
Dux-Soup describes two builds: STACKED local runs as a desktop app on your own Mac or Windows machine, and STACKED cloud runs on its managed infrastructure without a computer kept switched on. Expandi describes its platform as cloud-based and no self-hosted or desktop option is described anywhere we looked. A buyer who cares where the sessions run gets a real choice only at Dux-Soup, and that choice is the clearest difference in this pair.

Trying it before paying
Expandi offers a 7-day free trial that unlocks all features, and you are billed only if you continue afterwards. It has no free plan. On Dux-Soup's pricing page we saw neither a free tier nor a trial, just a Book a demo option for help choosing plans. If you want to test with your own account before any payment, Expandi is the sole vendor here that spells out how to do that, and it does so in plain words. Dux-Soup leaves the buyer to ask for a demo.

Flat plan against per-seat bill
Expandi lists Business at $99 per month on monthly billing or $79 per month billed annually, paid upfront. Dux-Soup prices per seat: STACKED local is $55 monthly or $41.25 per month billed yearly, and STACKED cloud is $99 monthly or $74.17 yearly. The currency code is missing on both, and only the dollar symbol appears. A solo user pays least on Dux-Soup local, and a cloud user pays the same list figure at either vendor.

Branching sequences and drip actions
Expandi's Smart Sequences combine actions with conditions, though its homepage gives inconsistent counts, so we state no count. It also states 300-plus connection requests weekly. Dux-Soup's local plan lists up to 12 drip action types, including Connect, Message, InMail, Visit, Follow, Endorse and Like a post, and publishes no numeric invite or message limits. Expandi is the better fit when replies should change the next step.

Safety limits and what is left unsaid
Dux-Soup lists five built-in safety controls, among them daily limits, smart speed throttling and an auto-snooze safeguard, but gives no limit numbers. Expandi's page states no cap on LinkedIn accounts or contacts for Business and also says it is not an official LinkedIn product. Neither page lets you check the exact ceilings in advance, so both leave the buyer to learn the real limits by running a campaign.
Depends on the buyer

Who stands behind the tool
Expandi's privacy policy names ProfitSoft B.V., a Netherlands legal entity with an address in Eindhoven, and states no parent company. Dux-Soup's footer shows only an all rights reserved line with no legal entity, address or country, though its About page gives a 2015 founding and names Will van der Sanden as founder. For supplier checks and contracts, Expandi gives you much more to work with.

When neither fits
If you need a transparent price for a team of ten or more, neither page settles it: Expandi shows Talk To Sales for its agency plan and Dux-Soup only mentions a discount. Waalaxy and Linked Helper are the alternatives from our LinkedIn automation list worth a look.
