CompLeadly vs. Dux-Soup: Modern AI platform or proven browser automation?
Dux-Soup offers a very affordable entry point, an established browser extension and optional cloud execution. CompLeadly combines LinkedIn workflows with AI personalization, relationship automation and a native AI interface.
CompLeadly is right for you if
- You want AI messages based on profile context and in your own writing style.
- Smart Comments and congratulations should be part of your regular LinkedIn automation.
- A native MCP server should connect Claude, ChatGPT or your own agents directly.
- You prefer German data routes and personal support from real humans.
Go with Dux-Soup instead if
- Dux-Soup offers a significantly cheaper entry point with Starter and Pro.
- You want to choose between browser execution and a managed cloud plan.
- An established Remote Control API and Cloud Agency dashboard matter more than AI personalization.

The short version
Dux-Soup and CompLeadly both automate LinkedIn drip campaigns with follow-ups, offer CRM integrations including HubSpot, Pipedrive and Salesforce, and connect through APIs and webhooks.
Dux-Soup is the cheaper option: a free Starter plan and Pro from $11.25 per month billed annually, plus up to twelve LinkedIn actions including InMail and, from Turbo upward, a central inbox with a lead dashboard. CompLeadly goes beyond classic drip campaigns: email through your own SMTP server, profile-based AI messages with style training, Smart Comment AI, a congratulation automation for ten occasions, a native MCP server, and German infrastructure with 24/7 support from real humans.
In short: if the lowest entry price matters most and basic LinkedIn actions are enough, look at Dux-Soup. If you want AI-driven, profile-based messages, Smart Comments and congratulations plus support from real humans, CompLeadly is the better fit.

Frequently asked questions
Do I have to bring my audiences over from Dux-Soup?
No — you build them fresh, and faster than before. In Dux-Soup you filter in LinkedIn, Sales Navigator or Google and have the results scanned. In CompLeadly you set the filters right in the tool: the same filter depth as Sales Navigator, without the detour through LinkedIn and without search links. Or you describe your service and your ideal customers, and the AI builds the audience for you. You can still import your scanned lists as CSV.
I've just paid Dux-Soup for a year — is switching still worth it?
Test ten days in parallel. Both tools run side by side as long as you don't write to the same audience twice. Afterwards you'll know, without having cancelled anything.
How long does switching take?
One afternoon: install, connect LinkedIn, create your audience, set up the sequence. In the launch workshop we set it up together with you — included in every package, otherwise €199.
You don't have to decide before you've seen it
Ten days, no credit card, nothing to cancel. If Dux-Soup suits you better, you'll know it afterwards as surely as we do.
