Detailed analysis of Dux-Soup
Dux-Soup was long one of the most accessible ways to automate LinkedIn, with a Chrome extension sold at $14.99 per month. That model is gone: its help center says the Pro, Turbo and Cloud extensions were deprecated in 2026 in favor of STACKED, powered by Dux-Soup, a desktop app for Windows and Mac. STACKED Local costs $55 per seat per month on monthly billing ($41.25 billed yearly) and runs on your computer, which must stay on. STACKED Cloud costs $99 per seat per month ($74.17 billed yearly) and runs campaigns continuously on Dux-Soup's servers. Both versions let you connect ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini to rewrite campaign messages from profile data and classify replies so a sequence can continue, qualify a lead or stop. That makes the old description of Dux-Soup as browser-only and without AI inaccurate. The real distinction is scope: its AI enhances template-led campaigns and reply routing, while MimikFlow includes prospect discovery, multi-turn conversation handling, calendar booking and meeting follow-through in one product.
What are the limitations of Dux-Soup?
STACKED Local, the $55-per-seat entry plan, runs on your computer, which must stay on and awake
Always-on execution on Dux-Soup's servers requires STACKED Cloud at $99 per seat per month ($74.17 billed yearly)
AI personalization requires connecting your own ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini account with its provider
The original campaign template remains the foundation of each AI-personalized message
Public AI documentation covers continuing, qualifying or stopping a sequence, not autonomous multi-turn objection handling through a booked meeting
Native calendar booking and post-meeting follow-through are not publicly advertised as part of the workflow
Why choose MimikFlow over Dux-Soup?
One product instead of plan and integration assembly
MimikFlow includes its models, cloud execution and campaign context. Dux-Soup's AI features require a separate AI connection, and always-on execution requires STACKED Cloud.
Conversation handling beyond reply classification
Dux-Soup can use AI to personalize a template and route a reply. MimikFlow's Setter manages a multi-turn conversation, answers objections and knows when to hand control to a person.
Native booking and meeting follow-through
MimikFlow can propose real availability, book the slot, send reminders and recover a no-show or reschedule without stitching together a separate workflow.
Prospect discovery and qualification included
MimikFlow searches for prospects from a campaign brief and evaluates fit before outreach. Dux-Soup starts from LinkedIn, Sales Navigator, Recruiter or lists supplied to the campaign.
Real scenarios where MimikFlow outperforms Dux-Soup
Your Pro Dux extension was replaced by STACKED and you are comparing the cost of STACKED Local or Cloud with a product that also covers the conversation and the meeting
AI-personalized campaign messages generate replies, but someone still has to run the multi-turn sales conversation
You want prospect discovery and ICP qualification included instead of building every audience in LinkedIn or Sales Navigator
You need real calendar booking, reminders and recovery after a no-show or reschedule in the same workflow

The verdict: MimikFlow vs Dux-Soup
Dux-Soup is a credible choice when a LinkedIn-native campaign builder at $55 per seat or an existing Sales Navigator workflow is the priority. STACKED Cloud and its AI integrations also remove two limitations of the old extension. MimikFlow fits better when the bottleneck is the complete journey after targeting: qualification, unique outreach, multi-turn replies, calendar booking and meeting follow-through in one product.
Frequently asked questions: MimikFlow vs Dux-Soup
Is Dux-Soup cheaper than MimikFlow?
Not at entry level anymore. The old $14.99 Pro Dux extension was deprecated: STACKED Local costs $55 per seat per month on monthly billing ($41.25 billed yearly) and STACKED Cloud $99 ($74.17 billed yearly). MimikFlow starts at €49 and includes prospect qualification and AI-written outreach; Pro at €97 adds the multi-turn Setter and calendar booking. The relevant comparison is the manual work left after a prospect replies.
Is Dux-Soup still only a Chrome extension?
No. Its help center says the Pro, Turbo and Cloud Chrome extensions were deprecated in favor of STACKED, a desktop app for Windows and Mac. STACKED Local runs on your computer; STACKED Cloud runs continuously on Dux-Soup's infrastructure at $99 per seat per month on monthly billing. An extension remains available as an alternative setup.
Does Dux-Soup have AI personalization?
Yes. STACKED lets you connect ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini. Dux-Soup sends the campaign template and profile data to the selected model so it can rewrite the message, then uses AI to continue, qualify or stop a campaign after a reply.
What is different about MimikFlow's AI Setter?
MimikFlow's Setter is designed for the conversation after the reply: it uses the full history, answers questions, handles objections, proposes real calendar slots and escalates sensitive cases. Dux-Soup's public AI workflow focuses on personalizing campaign messages and routing replies.
Dux-Soup works with Sales Navigator. Does MimikFlow require it?
No. MimikFlow can search and qualify prospects from the campaign target without a Sales Navigator subscription. Dux-Soup supports regular LinkedIn, Sales Navigator and Recruiter, which is useful if those searches are already central to your process.
