What is Woodpecker?

Woodpecker is a cold email and LinkedIn outreach tool for businesses and lead generation agencies. Pricing is one slider: you pay for the number of prospects contacted each month, and every tier includes unlimited email accounts, unlimited team members, unlimited catch-all email verification, free warm-up slots and Lead Finder credits. LinkedIn steps, extra warm-ups, mailboxes and domains, the agency panel and API access are add-ons. Campaigns support conditions, A/B tests of up to 5 versions, an AI email writer and AI interest-level detection on replies. Warm-up runs through partners Mailivery or Warmy.
