Visit Woodpecker

Woodpecker prices on contacted prospects rather than seats: $35/mo covers the first 500, quoted openly as $7.00 per 100, with unlimited email accounts and unlimited team members included at every level. LinkedIn outreach and an agency panel are paid add-ons rather than plan tiers. Note we previously recorded a free tier here; as of 2026-08-11 the vendor no longer offers one.

Best for: solo operators and small teams testing outbound before committing budget

Pros

  • Unlimited mailboxes and team members included at no extra cost
  • Pay for contacted prospects rather than per seat
  • Agency panel available for managing multiple clients

Cons

  • Usage-based pricing makes costs harder to forecast than flat tiers
  • No free plan — only a 14-day trial (this changed; we previously recorded one)
  • LinkedIn outreach and the agency panel are paid add-ons

Our verdict

Woodpecker's appeal is that you pay for outcomes rather than seats: $35/mo covers 500 contacted prospects, quoted transparently as $7.00 per 100, with unlimited mailboxes and unlimited team members included at every level. A correction we owe readers: we previously described a standing free tier here with 4,000 stored prospects. As of 11 August 2026 the vendor no longer shows one — the prospect selector starts at 500 and the page sells a 14-day trial instead. The trade-off is forecasting: usage-based billing is harder to budget than a flat tier, and LinkedIn plus the agency panel are paid add-ons rather than included.

How the pricing actually works

We previously declined to quote a rate here because we could not parse it with confidence. Re-reading the page in a browser resolved it: $35/mo for 500 contacted prospects, stated as $7.00 per 100, with volume steps at 2,000, 4,000, 8,000 and up to Unlimited. Annual billing saves 33%, and prices exclude VAT. Included at the entry step: unlimited email accounts, unlimited team members, 8,000 monthly emails and 2,000 stored prospects.

Who it’s for

  • Anyone testing whether cold outreach works for their offer, before committing budget
  • Teams with uneven or seasonal volume, where paying per contacted prospect beats a flat fee
  • Small teams needing many mailboxes and seats without per-seat pricing

Who should look elsewhere

  • Finance teams that need a predictable monthly number — usage-based billing resists forecasting
  • Buyers who want LinkedIn outreach included rather than as a paid add-on
  • Agencies wanting a built-in agency tier; here the agency panel is an add-on

Woodpecker FAQs

Does Woodpecker still have a free tier?
Not any more, and this is a change from what we previously published. The vendor now offers a 14-day trial rather than a free plan; the prospect selector starts at 500 with no zero option. Unlimited mailboxes and team members remain included on paid usage.
How does Woodpecker's pricing scale?
It charges per contacted prospect rather than per seat. Entry pricing is $35/mo for 500 contacted prospects, quoted as $7.00 per 100, rising through 2,000, 4,000 and 8,000 up to Unlimited. Annual billing saves 33%.
Does Woodpecker do LinkedIn outreach?
Yes, but as a paid add-on rather than part of the base product. If LinkedIn steps are central to your sequences, Lemlist includes them natively and is the more natural comparison.
Is Woodpecker good for agencies?
Partly. Unlimited mailboxes and team members help, and an agency panel exists — but as a paid add-on. Smartlead is the stronger agency pick if you need API access and whitelabelling as first-class features.
