Seleqt vs. Dux-Soup: LinkedIn activity automation or AI-led outbound.
Dux-Soup has automated LinkedIn visits, invites, endorsements, and follow-ups since 2015. It does the clicking. Deciding who fits, finding a reason to reach out, and writing something worth answering is still your job. Seleqt’s AI does that work, then runs LinkedIn and email in one cloud sequence.
Title matches the search. Visit profile, endorse a skill, send an invite with {first_name}.
Payroll SaaS, 80 people, sells to SMBs. Three SDR roles opened this month.
Dux-Soup is one of the original LinkedIn automation tools, with 300,000+ users. It’s reliable for LinkedIn actions like visits, invites, InMails, and drip follow-ups. It doesn’t decide which leads deserve those actions, and it doesn’t send email. That’s the work Seleqt takes on.
Pro starts at $14.99 a month. It works inside your own LinkedIn, Sales Navigator, or Recruiter account and connects to Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive, Freshsales, Slack, and Zapier.
Search 700M+ contacts, get a verdict with reasoning for each lead, and send researched messages across LinkedIn and email from one sequence.
Dux-Soup acts on everyone your search returns. Seleqt checks each lead against your ICP first and records why it passed.
Dux-Soup personalizes with tags like name and company. Seleqt writes from hiring, funding, and news it finds for each account.
Reviewers describe Dux-Soup as LinkedIn-only. Seleqt adds email steps and an email and phone finder in the same plan.
Give both tools a Sales Navigator search of 100 leads. Dux-Soup will visit, invite, and follow up with each one on LinkedIn, using the template and tags you set. On Pro and Turbo, your browser has to stay open. See Dux-Soup’s plans ↗
Seleqt starts by deciding which of the 100 are worth contacting at all.
Dux-Soup: all 100 get the sequence.
Seleqt: each lead gets an approve, review, or reject verdict with sources.
Dux-Soup: one template with name and company tags.
Seleqt: an individual message built on each company’s news.
Dux-Soup: LinkedIn actions and messages.
Seleqt: LinkedIn plus email, replies in one inbox.
We lead with the AI and channel gaps. Dux-Soup’s price and integrations are strong, and those rows are marked.

Monthly price, or $74.17 a month billed yearly. It’s the first plan that runs without your browser.

Reviewers describe Dux-Soup as LinkedIn-only, without native email campaigns. It connects to CRMs and Zapier, so email usually runs in another tool.
It lists integrations with AI assistants like Claude, Gemini, and ChatGPT. We didn’t find built-in lead qualification or company research of the kind Seleqt runs on every lead.
It automates LinkedIn actions and leaves targeting, research, and copy to you. For a solo user on a tight budget, that can be the right trade.
Yes. Import them into Seleqt, or build new lists from the 700M+ contact database. Seleqt then qualifies and researches each lead before outreach.
Bring a list, see which leads fit and why, and launch researched LinkedIn and email outreach from the cloud.
