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: Pro Dux from $14.99 per month, $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.

Other alternatives to Dux-Soup

The other tools from our comparison – each with the one point where it beats CompLeadly.

Waalaxy

from €19.00/month · Cloud

Waalaxy is a cloud-based LinkedIn alternative. Since 1 July 2026 the tool runs entirely on the vendor's servers; the Chrome extension was removed from the Web Store. That is exactly where Waalaxy is objectively ahead of CompLeadly: campaigns keep running even when your computer is off. Entry pricing is €19 per user per month on the Pro plan billed monthly; cold email and multichannel start on the Business plan at €69. On Trustpilot, Waalaxy sits at 4.7 out of 5 from 1,294 reviews. CompLeadly instead automates locally over your own IP and focuses on Smart Comments, congratulations and an MCP server.

Best for: Teams who want LinkedIn and cold email running in the cloud without keeping a computer switched on for it.

Better than CompLeadly: Waalaxy runs fully in the cloud — your campaigns keep running even when your computer is off.

Expandi

from $99.00/month · Cloud

Expandi is a cloud-based multichannel alternative from LeadExpress B.V. in Eindhoven. Every account gets a dedicated country-based IP, and this is exactly where Expandi is objectively ahead of CompLeadly: it runs in the cloud with its own country IP, without you providing hardware or a location. The Business plan costs $99 a month, or $79 billed annually. Agencies get a dedicated plan with white label, roles and client reporting. On Trustpilot, Expandi sits at 4.5 out of 5 from 234 reviews. CompLeadly instead automates locally on your machine and focuses on profile-based AI copy, Smart Comments and congratulations.

Best for: Agencies and sales teams running several client accounts from the cloud with their own country IP.

Better than CompLeadly: Expandi runs in the cloud and gives every account a dedicated country IP — with no hardware of your own and no computer left switched on.

Dripify

from $59.00/month · Cloud

Dripify is a cloud-based LinkedIn alternative with a visual sequence builder, a built-in email finder and email sequences on every paid plan. The Basic plan costs $39 per user per month billed annually, or $59 billed monthly. This is where Dripify is objectively ahead of CompLeadly: sequences run regardless of whether your computer is on, on a consistent account IP you do not have to provide yourself. On Trustpilot, Dripify sits at 4.6 out of 5 from 523 reviews. CompLeadly instead runs as a desktop app over your own IP and focuses on Smart Comments, congratulations for ten occasions and an MCP server.

lemlist

from $69.00/month · Cloud

lemlist is a cloud-based outbound platform that bundles email, LinkedIn, SMS, WhatsApp and calling into one sequence editor. The email-only plan starts at $69 a month, or $55 billed annually; the multichannel plan including LinkedIn costs $109, or $87 billed annually. This is where lemlist is objectively ahead of CompLeadly: its built-in deliverability infrastructure with lemwarm and rotating IPs is not something local SMTP sending gives you without extra software. On its pricing page, lemlist displays a G2 rating of 4.7 out of 5 from 1,396 reviews. CompLeadly is narrower, goes deeper on LinkedIn and runs locally over your own IP.

Best for: Outbound teams for whom email deliverability is business-critical and who run several channels in one system.

Better than CompLeadly: lemlist brings its own deliverability infrastructure (lemwarm, rotating IPs) and five channels in a single sequence editor.

Linked Helper

from $15.00/month · Local desktop app

Linked Helper is the alternative architecturally closest to CompLeadly: desktop software with its own browser engine that works locally over your own IP — explicitly not a browser extension. The Standard plan with local storage costs $15 a month; a cloud-storage variant starts at $29.90. This is where Linked Helper is objectively ahead of CompLeadly: it brings a built-in CRM with tags, notes and custom fields right inside the tool, and it starts cheaper. Its registered address is in Wilmington, Delaware. CompLeadly instead focuses on congratulations for ten occasions, Smart Comment AI, an MCP server and German-language support.

Best for: Solo sellers and small teams who want to automate locally and keep their CRM in the same tool.

ZenMode

from $15.00/month · Local desktop app

ZenMode is the only alternative in this comparison selling exactly the same execution model as CompLeadly: a local desktop app for macOS and Windows that automates LinkedIn through your own Chrome and your own IP — the vendor states your password and session never leave your machine. Entry costs $15 a month for one LinkedIn account; the Sensei plan costs $299. This is where ZenMode is objectively ahead of CompLeadly: from the Master plan a team pays a flat rate instead of per seat, and the Sensei plan includes a full white label with a custom domain. On its own testimonial page ZenMode states a Trustpilot rating of 4.3 out of 5, without naming a total number of reviews. CompLeadly instead focuses on AI personalization, congratulations and open interfaces.

Best for: Solo sellers and small agencies who automate locally and need a white label with a custom domain at a flat rate.

Better than CompLeadly: ZenMode bills teams as a flat rate rather than per seat from the Master plan, and its Sensei plan ships a full white label with a custom domain.

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.

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.
