Chattie vs Dux-Soup: AI SDR vs Chrome Extension LinkedIn Automation
The verdict
Dux-Soup is one of the cheapest LinkedIn automation Chrome extensions; Chattie is an AI SDR that reads conversations and writes the reply, sent on Autopilot; on Semi-pilot it goes out on its own until the lead replies, then you approve each reply; on Copilot it waits for your approval.
What is Dux-Soup?
Dux-Soup is a Chrome extension for LinkedIn automation, founded in 2016. It automates profile visits, connection requests, and basic messaging sequences from within your browser. One of the most affordable LinkedIn automation tools on the market, starting at $11/month. Higher ban risk due to browser-based operation.
What is Chattie?
Chattie is an AI SDR (Sales Development Representative) purpose-built for LinkedIn B2B prospecting. It reads every conversation in context and writes the right reply, and you choose how much it does on its own: in Autopilot it sends within your LinkedIn limits; in Semi-pilot it sends until the lead replies, then you approve each reply; in Copilot it waits for your approval on every message. It also includes a Pipeline Kanban to track which conversations are turning into qualified meetings.

Frequently Asked Questions
How this comparison is put together
Chattie publishes this page, so treat the verdict as an argument rather than a referee's call. What is checkable is stated plainly: the feature rows and both prices come from each vendor's own public pricing and product pages, read in September 2026, and the "Choose Dux-Soup if..." column exists because there are buyers for whom Dux-Soup is the better purchase.
What this page does not contain: no side-by-side benchmark, no deliverability or acceptance-rate test, no customer survey. Where we have no number, none is given. Pricing changes without notice, confirm both figures with the vendor before you buy. Dux-Soup is a trademark of its owner, used here for identification.
