Feature
Reachium
Dux-Soup
Connection method
Dux-Soup runs a Chrome extension or a cloud browser session that acts inside LinkedIn's page. Reachium connects through the verified LinkedIn API, no extension and no injected browser actions.
Verified LinkedIn API
Browser DOM automation
Always-on without your computer
Dux-Soup Pro and Turbo stop when your browser closes or laptop sleeps. Always-on needs the Cloud Dux tier at $99/mo, which still requires the extension and a live LinkedIn login. Reachium runs server-side on every plan.
Cloud plan only
Multi-step automated sequences
Both run multi-step drip campaigns with connection requests, follow-ups, and delays. Reachium ships 8 campaign types including Intent, Engagement, and Lead Magnet.
Unified inbox
Both centralize replies, though Dux-Soup gates its central inbox to Turbo and above. Reachium adds AI message classification, meeting detection, and reminders across all connected accounts.
Central inbox (Turbo+)
AI message classification + meeting detection
Dux-Soup has a central inbox but no AI reply classification or automatic meeting detection. Reachium tags replies and surfaces booked meetings automatically.
Inbound AI content engine
Reachium generates LinkedIn content on a 4-bucket strategy with image generation and a content calendar. Dux-Soup supports ChatGPT-template personalization but offers no native inbound content engine.
Lead-magnet builder + DM campaigns
Reachium builds and hosts lead magnets, detects trigger keywords on posts, and auto-distributes via DM. Dux-Soup has no lead-magnet or comment-to-DM workflow.
Built-in booking / meeting flow
Reachium detects meeting intent and drives booking inside the inbox. Dux-Soup has no native calendar or booking and relies on connected CRMs.
Network CRM with lead scoring
Dux-Soup has a lead management dashboard and pushes contacts to HubSpot, Salesforce, and Pipedrive. Reachium ships a native network CRM with contact cards, tags, history, and lead scoring.
Lead dashboard + integrations
Email address capture from profiles
Dux-Soup captures emails for 1st-degree connections free, but 2nd and 3rd-degree profiles require buying paid Dux-points. Reachium is not a data or enrichment product and does not harvest emails.
1st-degree free, paid points beyond
Done-For-You managed service
Reachium offers a managed Done-For-You tier that runs campaigns for you. Dux-Soup is self-serve software; its Agency plan is for agencies running their own clients.
Entry price
Dux-Soup Pro starts far cheaper for basic browser automation. Reachium's price reflects the full outbound, inbound, booking, and CRM stack on the verified API.
$79/account/mo annual

Reachium vs Dux-Soup

The differences that matter

01

Verified API vs a browser acting inside LinkedIn

This is the core split. Dux-Soup works by running automation inside a real browser session, either through its Chrome extension on your machine or a cloud session that still needs the extension plus a live LinkedIn login. Reachium connects through the verified LinkedIn API instead. No extension to install, no browser tab to keep open, no DOM actions injected into LinkedIn's page. If how your tool touches your account matters to you, the two products take fundamentally different roads to the same inbox.

02

Reachium runs your whole pipeline, not just the outbound half

Dux-Soup is outbound automation. It sends connection requests, follow-ups, profile views, and InMails on a drip. Reachium does all of that, then keeps going. It generates LinkedIn content on a 4-bucket strategy, builds and hosts lead magnets, detects trigger keywords on your posts and auto-DMs the resource, classifies replies with AI, and drives booking inside the inbox. One platform covers outbound, inbound, and the handoff to a meeting. With Dux-Soup you would stitch those jobs together across separate tools.

03

A real network CRM, not a lead list that exports to someone else's CRM

Dux-Soup gives you a lead management dashboard and clean integrations that push contacts into HubSpot, Salesforce, or Pipedrive. That is useful if you already live in one of those systems. Reachium ships its own network CRM with contact cards, tags and segments, relationship history, notes, and lead scoring, so the people you reach and the conversations you have stay in the same place you run campaigns. You can still export by CSV or integration, but you are not forced to own a second CRM to make the data useful.

04

Done-For-You is a tier, not a DIY ask

Both tools serve agencies, but differently. Dux-Soup's Cloud Agency plan is software for an agency to run campaigns on behalf of its own clients. Reachium offers a managed Done-For-You service where Reachium runs the campaigns for you. If you want the results without learning the tool, building the sequences, or writing the content, that option exists on Reachium and has no equivalent inside Dux-Soup's self-serve lineup.

Where Reachium wins

  • Runs on the verified LinkedIn API instead of a Chrome extension or cloud browser session
  • Always-on server-side execution on every plan, not just a top cloud tier
  • Bundles inbound AI content, lead magnets, and comment-to-DM campaigns Dux-Soup does not offer
  • Native booking flow plus AI reply classification and meeting detection in the unified inbox
  • Built-in network CRM with lead scoring instead of exporting leads to a third-party CRM
  • Done-For-You managed tier where Reachium runs the campaigns for you

Pick Reachium if

Pick Reachium if you want your LinkedIn pipeline on the verified API with outbound, inbound content, booking, and a CRM in one platform, plus an optional Done-For-You tier.

When Dux-Soup is the better choice

If you are a solo operator who wants cheap, simple LinkedIn automation today and nothing more, Dux-Soup genuinely wins on price. Pro Dux is $14.99 a month, the Cloud tier is $99, and the 14-day no-card trial lets you test before paying. Reachium starts at $79 per account and bundles inbound content, booking, and a CRM you may not need yet. If your only job is sending connection requests and follow-ups on one account, Dux-Soup is the lighter buy. The moment you want inbound content, lead magnets, a unified AI inbox, or work on the verified API instead of a browser session, Reachium becomes the default.

Pick Dux-Soup if

Pick Dux-Soup if you are a solo operator who wants the cheapest, simplest browser-based LinkedIn automation and you do not need inbound content, booking, or a built-in CRM.

Switching from Dux-Soup to Reachium

Moving from Dux-Soup to Reachium means reconnecting your LinkedIn accounts through the verified API instead of the extension, then rebuilding sequences as Reachium campaigns. Export your Dux-Soup leads to CSV, import them, and your outbound, inbound, inbox, and CRM live in one place.
