What it is: Cold email and LinkedIn outreach software
Best for: Deliverability-focused small teams
Price: From $35/mo (500 prospects), checked October 29, 2026
Prices checked: October 29, 2026

We researched Woodpecker's official pricing, plan terms, product pages, help documentation and Trustpilot profile. We haven't used Woodpecker ourselves, so this is a research-based review, not a hands-on test.

Who it’s best for

Agencies and sales teams with their own lead lists.
Teams that send from many mailboxes.
Senders who care about deliverability.

Who should skip it

Probably not the best fit if you need a contact database built in, where Apollo combines data and outreach.

What it costs

Prices checked October 29, 2026, from Woodpecker’s own pricing page unless noted. Prices change often, so check the official page before you buy.

Cold Email: priced by prospects contacted each month: $35 for 500 (up to 8,000 emails), $67 for 2,000, $99 for 4,000, $188 for 10,000.
Annual billing saves 33%.
Includes unlimited email accounts and team members, verification, warm-up and Lead Finder credits.
Free trial: 14 days or 500 cold emails, whichever comes first, with no card.

What we like

Unlimited mailboxes and team members.
Warm-up and verification included.
Low starting price.
A no-card free trial.

What to watch for

Trustpilot showed 2.5 out of 5 from 35 reviews as of October 29, 2026.
Prices climb with the number of prospects.
LinkedIn outreach is a separate add-on.

The fine print

The trial ends at 14 days or 500 emails.
Plans count prospects contacted, not emails.
Yearly billing is needed for the 33% saving.

The main alternative: Apollo

Trustpilot showed 3.1 out of 5 from 1,383 reviews as of October 29, 2026. In 2018 Apollo confirmed a breach of its contacts database.

What it costs: Free; from $49/seat/mo, checked October 29, 2026

Apollo in Best Cold Email Software

Pick WoodpeckerReviewed by Vetteroo if you…

have your own lists.
use many mailboxes.
want deliverability tools.

Pick Apollo if you…

need contact data.
want an all-in-one tool.

Our take

Woodpecker is a focused cold email tool with unlimited mailboxes, warm-up and a low starting price. Its outside rating is poor, and prices rise with volume. Apollo adds a contact database.
