Woodpecker Review
Usage-based cold email priced on contacted prospects, with unlimited mailboxes.
Pricing and features verified 2026-08-11 · usage-based: $35/mo for 500 contacted prospects ($7.00 per 100) · how we check
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.
