Dux-Soup vs Expandi
Dux-Soup vs Expandi alternative in your browser
Dux-Soup's pricing page sells STACKED local, a desktop app on your machine, and STACKED cloud on their infrastructure. Expandi's pricing page sells cloud sequencing with a monthly plan at $99. DealGate runs in your Chrome with lead lists, ICP scoring, and profile visits — a different job from picking between two cloud senders.

Automatic profile visits
Dux-Soup
Visit is a drip action; their page says it can trigger a notification.

In the product
DealGate. DealGate visits the profile in your Chrome, on your session, and counts it against the daily cap.
When LinkedIn warns you
Dux-Soup
Safety wording on the pricing page; no 48-hour hold described like DealGate's.
Expandi
Warm-up and limit ranges; they say the product will not exceed the limits you set.
In the product
DealGate. LinkedIn decides restrictions on your account. When DealGate sees a checkpoint, captcha, or restriction banner, it stops activity for 48 hours. That hold cannot be cleared early. You can also stop the next action yourself; stopping does not shorten the hold.
After they reply
Dux-Soup
Drip campaigns detect responses and pause the campaign.
Expandi
Centralized dashboard and step-by-step campaign statistics.
In the product
DealGate. The aim is a booked call. People who are warming up are the ones to book.
