Bottom line

Cold email tool with optional LinkedIn steps. The Email plan is $26/mo billed annually or $39 monthly, with a 14-day trial and no card.

Stands out for: Unlimited team members and mailboxes at no extra cost, since billing is set by how many prospects you contact.

Watch out for: LinkedIn costs $29/mo per connected account, and the API, webhooks, MCP and CLI sit in a $20/mo integrations add-on.

Overview

Woodpecker runs cold email campaigns, with optional LinkedIn steps. The Email plan is $26 a month billed annually or $39 monthly, Multichannel is $55 a month annually or $68 monthly, and Scale is custom. Team members and email accounts are unlimited.
