Dux-Soup alternative
The Dux-Soup alternative with no extension and no cloud proxy.

The short answer
The best Dux-Soup alternative for teams that refuse to risk their LinkedIn account is Quillreach. It runs through an approved integration, so there is no Chrome extension driving your browser and no shared cloud-proxy edition routing your account through the vendor's servers. It enforces hard per-account daily caps, paces actions like a human, stops on reply, and lands every response in one unified inbox. It is $59 per seat per month with a 14-day free trial and no credit card.
What Dux-Soup does well
Dux-Soup is one of the best-known entry points to LinkedIn automation. As a Chrome extension it is quick to install and simple to use for auto-visiting profiles, sending connection requests, and basic drip messaging, and it has added touches like voice notes and CRM integrations over the years. For an individual who wants a cheap, familiar tool to dip into automation, it is an easy start.
Pricing runs from about $15 per month on Pro Dux to $55 on Turbo Dux, with a separate Cloud Dux edition around $99 per month that runs your account from Dux-Soup's managed cloud. The base extension needs Chrome open to work. If simple, browser-local prospecting is all you need, it does the job.

Why Quillreach is the safer choice
Dux-Soup forces a trade: the cheap extension needs your browser open and leaves a footprint LinkedIn can fingerprint, while the cloud edition moves you onto shared proxy infrastructure with its own detection risk. Quillreach sidesteps both by connecting through an approved channel with an isolated session per account.
No extension and no shared cloud proxy
Quillreach runs each account through an approved integration. There is no Chrome extension driving LinkedIn's web page from inside your browser, and no cloud-proxy edition routing your account through the vendor's shared servers. Both of those are patterns LinkedIn is well equipped to detect.
Campaigns run without a browser open
Because there is no extension tied to an open Chrome tab, sequences do not pause when you close the browser. Actions keep pacing on their own schedule inside working hours, so you never have to leave Chrome running to keep outreach alive.
Hard per-account daily caps
Daily action limits are enforced as a hard constraint that stays under LinkedIn's organic-behavior thresholds. Quillreach refuses to send past the cap even when asked, so a busy day never spikes an account into flag territory.
Human pacing between actions
Actions spread across randomized, human-like intervals with realistic gaps between people rather than firing in tight bursts. Predictable timing is a clear automation tell, and Quillreach is designed to avoid it.
One inbox across every connected account
Every reply from every account lands in one timeline with per-account filters and owner assignment, so a team can manage many accounts without tab-switching or losing a warm reply.
None of this is a knock on Dux-Soup. It is the design constraint Quillreach chose to build around first, so the account you have spent years growing stays yours.
