FAQ

No. Dux-Soup uses templates with variables (first name, company). Cherlok analyzes each prospect's full profile and writes an entirely unique message using AI.

Our verdict

Dux-Soup is an affordable choice for LinkedIn automation beginners. But its generic templates limit your reply rates and can be detected by LinkedIn. Cherlok writes 100% unique messages using AI, for real results.
