The short version
Woodpecker runs cold email — and optionally LinkedIn — sequences with a serious built-in deliverability layer, priced flat per account by emails sent per month, with unlimited mailboxes and team members from $39/month billed monthly or $26 billed annually.
Buy it if
You already have (or can source) a prospect list, you send a few thousand emails a month from several mailboxes, and you want warm-up, rotation and reply sorting handled inside the sender.
Skip it if
You need a prospect database — Woodpecker includes only 100 Lead Finder credits — or you need CRM sync and API access inside the base price; both live behind the $20/month integrations add-on.
What Woodpecker does — the jobs it finishes
Workflows are built only from verified capabilities in our listing research — no vendor copy, nothing invented.
A first cold sequence that protects your domain
Starts You have a prospect list and mailboxes to send from
- You connect your email accounts — unlimited on every plan — and let the included warm-ups run
- You build a sequence with automated follow-ups, spintax and sending in each prospect's timezone
- Adaptive sending, inbox rotation and the spam-word checker guard deliverability while it runs
You get A follow-up sequence sending safely from warmed mailboxes
Approval Run the domain audit and fix SPF/DKIM flags before the first send, not after a bounce spike
The deliverability setup that usually takes three tools happens inside the sender
Email plus LinkedIn in one campaign
Starts Your prospects ignore email alone and live on LinkedIn
- On Multichannel, you add LinkedIn visits, connection requests and messages as steps in the same sequence
- Woodpecker runs the combined path and stops the sequence when a prospect replies on either channel
You get One multichannel sequence instead of two disconnected tools
A second channel stops meaning a second subscription and a second list to reconcile
Replies sorted by buying interest
Starts A campaign starts generating replies faster than you can read them
- Replies land in the centralised inbox
- AI interest-level detection sorts them so the warm replies surface first
- Out-of-office replies are filtered automatically
You get A reply queue ordered by interest, not arrival time
The hour after a send goes to the prospects most likely to buy
Outreach that lands in your CRM
Starts Campaign activity needs to become pipeline records
- With the integrations add-on, HubSpot or Pipedrive syncs two-way with your campaigns
- Replies and campaign outcomes update the records your follow-up works from
You get CRM records that reflect who was contacted and who replied
Approval Budget the $20/month integrations add-on before assuming sync is included — it is not in the base plan
Outreach stops living in a separate silo from your deals
Where it stops
- Not a contact database — beyond the 100 included Lead Finder credits, prospect data is an add-on or your own list
- CRM sync, API, webhooks, MCP and CLI are a paid add-on ($20/month), not part of the base plan
- No free plan — testing means the 14-day trial, which also ends at 500 sent emails
- Agencies pay extra per active client for the Agency Panel on top of the sending plan
Getting started
Before you start
- Email accounts to send from (your own, or hosted addresses bought as an add-on)
- A prospect list — or the 100 included Lead Finder credits for a first test
The ongoing admin
- Keep an eye on the deliverability monitor and bounce rates as volume climbs toward the next ladder rung
- Top up warm-ups ($5/month each) when you add mailboxes beyond the included slots
Step 1Use the 14-day trial on a real mini-campaign
The trial includes all features and no card, but ends at 500 sent emails — send one small, real sequence to your best-fit segment rather than browsing the dashboard.
Step 2Warm before you scale
Connect your mailboxes, run the domain audit for SPF and DKIM, and let the 3 included warm-ups build reputation before volume goes up.
Step 3Decide on the integrations add-on up front
If replies must reach HubSpot or Pipedrive, add the $20/month integrations add-on at the start so your realistic price — $46/month billed annually — is the one you budget.

What could make the bill jump?
The ladder is stepped, not metered: 5,000 emails a month costs $39 billed monthly, but the next published rung is $79 at 50,000 — there is no priced rung in between, so growth re-prices the whole account at once. The quieter jump is the $20/month integrations add-on: the CRM sync and API access most founders assume are included are not in the base price, making the realistic connected cost $46/month billed annually or $59 billed monthly at entry volume.

Price record · 2026-11-08: Checked 2026-11-08 on woodpecker.co/pricing: the page structure extracted directly as text this run — three plan types (Email, Multichannel badged most popular, LinkedIn) plus a custom Scale tier, annual billing advertised at 33% off, 3 warm-ups and 100 Lead Finder credits included, unlimited contacts storage, unlimited email verification, unlimited team members and unlimited email accounts, the LinkedIn action caps (250 messages/day, 50 InMails/month, 30 connection requests/day, 500 profile visits/day), the add-on list, and a 14-day free trial with no card required. DISCLOSURE — corroborated dated reads: the page's dollar figures are JavaScript-rendered and do not extract as text (every price slot extracts as a bare '/mo'), so the figures recorded here are corroborated from multiple dated reads of the same official pricing page — a 2026-10-30 audit of the live page at woodpecker.co (Email entry $39/month for 5,000 emails sent, ladder $79 / $119 / $219 / $499 / $999, Multichannel $68, LinkedIn-only $29, annual entry $26/month at $312/year, add-ons $5 warm-ups, $4-$6 email addresses, $27 Agency Panel), a 2026-10-26 check of Woodpecker's own pages reporting the same $68 / $29 structure and the $20/month integrations add-on, and a 2026-11-04 check of the vendor's own pages confirming the 5,000-email tier at $26/month billed annually ($39 monthly) with 3 warm-ups. VARIANT NOTE: Woodpecker restructured pricing in late October 2026 from contacted-prospects tiers (Starter $24/month billed annually for 500 prospects) to emails-sent pricing; the older prospect-based figures still circulating in directories describe the retired model and are not used here.

Our assessment of Woodpecker
Woodpecker is a sending tool, not a database: you bring or find prospects, connect as many of your own email accounts as you like, and it runs cold email sequences with automated follow-ups, inbox rotation and deliverability protection. Its pricing was restructured in late October 2026 and now runs on three parallel plan types rather than one ladder. The Email plan is priced by emails sent per month — entry is 5,000 emails a month — with unlimited contacts storage, unlimited email verification including catch-all checks, three included warm-ups, 100 Lead Finder credits and, distinctively, unlimited email accounts and unlimited team members at every level, so cost follows sending volume rather than headcount or mailbox count. The Multichannel plan, which the vendor badges as most popular, adds one LinkedIn account with profile visits, connection requests, messages and InMails woven into the same sequences. A LinkedIn-only plan exists for founders whose outreach is purely on LinkedIn. The deliverability layer is the reason many small teams pick it over cheaper senders: free warm-up, a deliverability monitor, adaptive sending, provider matching, spam-word checking and domain audits for SPF and DKIM are all in the product rather than bolted on. The honest frictions are the add-ons and the arithmetic of growth. The integrations most founders will want — HubSpot and Pipedrive two-way sync, the API, webhooks, MCP and CLI — sit behind a flat monthly add-on rather than in the base price, extra warm-ups and hosted email addresses are per-unit extras, and the volume ladder steps from the entry tier to roughly double the price at ten times the volume, so a campaign that works gets more expensive in steps rather than gradually. An agency panel for running separate client accounts is a further per-client add-on. For a solo founder sending a few thousand emails a month from several warmed mailboxes, though, the entry tier is a complete, deliverability-serious stack at a predictable flat price.
Pros — our take
- Unlimited email accounts and team members at every tier — cost follows sending volume, not your mailbox count
- Deliverability is built in, not bolted on: warm-up, rotation, adaptive sending, monitor and domain audits
- Email and LinkedIn steps live in one sequence on the Multichannel plan
Cons — our take
- CRM sync and API access cost an extra $20/month — the connected price is higher than the headline
- No prospect database to speak of: 100 Lead Finder credits, then data is an add-on or your own list
- The volume ladder jumps from $39 to $79 with no priced rung between 5,000 and 50,000 emails

Solo Fit stays the public score: the qualitative roll-up of these four published inputs under the How We Rank method. Flat per-account pricing with unlimited mailboxes carries it; the setup score reflects real mailbox and domain work (connecting accounts, SPF/DKIM, warm-up) before the first campaign, and pricing clarity reflects a published ladder whose figures render in JavaScript.
Three to compare before you decide
The difference: The volume sender with a built-in database and flat unlimited-mailbox pricing at a similar entry point — the catch is a thinner deliverability and reply-triage layer than Woodpecker's built-in stack.
The difference: The personalisation-led multichannel sender, priced per user — the catch is per-seat pricing, where Woodpecker charges one flat account price with unlimited members.
The difference: A broader sales-engagement platform with its own data and multichannel sequences priced per user — the catch is more platform than a solo sender usually needs, where Woodpecker stays focused on cold email deliverability.
Questions buyers ask about Woodpecker
What does Woodpecker cost for one person?
The Email plan is $39/month billed monthly or $26/month billed annually ($312/year) for up to 5,000 emails sent a month, with unlimited email accounts and team members. The directory's True Solo Cost is $26 low (annual) and $39 typical (monthly). Add $20/month if you need the integrations and API add-on.
How does Woodpecker's pricing scale — seats, mailboxes or volume?
Volume. Every plan includes unlimited email accounts and unlimited team members; what you pay for is emails sent per month, on a ladder: $39 for 5,000, then $79 for 50,000, $119 for 100,000 and upward billed monthly, with 33% off on annual billing. LinkedIn is the exception — it is priced per connected LinkedIn account ($29/month on the LinkedIn-only plan).
Is warm-up included or extra?
Included. Paid plans carry free warm-up slots — 3 on the entry tiers, more at higher volume rungs — and extra warm-ups cost $5/month per email account. Catch-all email verification is also included without a volume cap.
Does Woodpecker find the prospects for me?
Only lightly. Paid plans include 100 Lead Finder credits and extra credits are an add-on; Woodpecker is fundamentally a sending and deliverability platform. Most solo founders pair it with a data tool for lists and use Woodpecker to send safely.
Is there a free plan or trial?
There is no free plan. There is a 14-day free trial with all features and no credit card required; per the vendor's product FAQ it ends early once 500 cold emails have been sent, whichever comes first.
