TLDR
Dux-Soup alternative — quick answer
Dux-Soup is a classic LinkedIn automation Chrome extension: auto-visit profiles, send connection requests, run message sequences, extract profile data. It's been around since 2015 and is one of the originals in the space. Scrupp is not a LinkedIn automation tool — we focus on the data layer (scraping + verified email enrichment + phone numbers), and hand off to dedicated outreach tools. Pick Dux-Soup if you want basic LinkedIn automation (visits, connects, messages) with a simple Chrome extension. Pick Scrupp if you need a proper prospecting data layer — verified emails, phones, Sales Navigator 2,500+ bypass, and clean CSV exports ready for any outreach stack.
When each wins
Don't switch if Dux-Soup fits better
Honest verdict — sometimes Dux-Soup is still the right choice.
You need prospecting data — verified emails, phones, clean exports — not LinkedIn messaging automation. You want to bypass Sales Navigator\'s 2,500-result cap, enrich with multi-provider email waterfall, and push into your CRM or cold-email stack.
You want simple LinkedIn automation in a Chrome extension: profile visits, auto-connect, basic drip messages. You\'re fine running it from your browser (not cloud-based) and Dux-Soup\'s feature set matches your workflow.

FAQ
Common questions
About switching from Dux-Soup to Scrupp.
Is Scrupp an alternative to Dux-Soup?
For data extraction + enrichment: yes, with better Sales Navigator support, verified emails, phones, and Apollo coverage. For LinkedIn messaging automation: no — that's not our category. If you use Dux-Soup only for data, switching to Scrupp upgrades your data quality significantly.
Can Scrupp send connection requests like Dux-Soup?
No — by design. Scrupp is a data tool. Automating LinkedIn actions (visits, connects, messages) is what Dux-Soup, Waalaxy, Expandi, Dripify do. Our focus is clean prospecting data; you pick your own outreach channel.
Is Scrupp safer for my LinkedIn account than Dux-Soup?
Dux-Soup runs in your browser and automates clicks on LinkedIn UI — this is higher ToS risk than Scrupp's data extraction. Newer cloud-based automation tools (Expandi, Waalaxy) mitigate some of Dux-Soup's risk with IP rotation + daily limits. For pure data extraction (our focus), Scrupp is the safest choice.
Does Dux-Soup find verified emails?
Not natively — it requires add-ons or external tools. Scrupp has a built-in multi-provider email waterfall with real-time SMTP verification. Typically 65-85% hit rates on LinkedIn profiles, depending on ICP.
Can I use both Scrupp and Dux-Soup?
