Surfe has the potential to bridge the gaps left by Pipedrive and even enhance certain features — but it comes at a cost. By industry standards, Surfe is pricey, and if you’re already paying a premium for Pipedrive, your monthly expenses can quickly add up.

My solution? Consider a CRM that offers native LinkedIn integration right out of the box, like Breakcold. After all, it’s about working smarter, not harder. 😗

Even if LinkMatch has implemented multiple safeguards to minimize duplicate data, it can only reduce the risk — not eliminate it entirely. When syncing and importing data between platforms, especially through third-party integrations, you’re always at risk of compromising your data hygiene. One of the most common causes of data duplication is weak integration between systems, and let’s face it — not every sales rep is tech-savvy.

No tool is perfect, but the fewer steps and handoffs your data has to go through, the lower the risk of duplication — or worse. So instead of settling for third-party solutions that only patch part of the problem, invest in a CRM with native LinkedIn integration. It’ll save you real time and money in the long run. 

This is what one of the founders of the tools mentioned in this article said about Breakcold. No rivalry, as we're partners, just a testimony of our strength!

Unlike most automation tools, Dux-Soup relies on a browser extension and requires an open LinkedIn tab to function. As you may have guessed, this means Dux-Soup is not fully automated and not cloud-based — which can be a dealbreaker for many users.

If you regularly work with dozens (or hundreds) of tabs open, there’s a real risk of accidentally closing the LinkedIn tab that keeps Dux-Soup running. This can cause more than just an interrupted session — it may lead to data loss or warnings from LinkedIn that can slow down your outreach efforts temporarily or for good.

Sure, Expandi is a reliable sales engagement tool with some solid lead enrichment capabilities. However, its outdated UI, occasional bugs, and unclear pricing structure leave me with a few reservations.

Overall, it’s a decent tool — it doesn’t outperform the competition, but it doesn’t fall flat either. That said, when you’re paying a minimum of $99/month, “just good enough” really isn’t GOOD enough.

If you're looking to spend half the price for twice the tool, Breakcold offers a range of pricing plans to help you close deals in 2025 and beyond.

While Lemlist is primarily an outreach automation tool, using it to connect with LinkedIn isn’t necessarily a bad idea — but it might be overkill.

For some sales teams, budget isn’t a concern. Paying premium prices for both Pipedrive and Lemlist might be manageable. But for the majority of businesses, that’s a costly combination that could strain resources or impact ROI.

So the real question is: Why pay for two separate tools when you could get the best of both worlds for a fraction of the cost?

I'll let the next section elaborate. 😉
