In their own words
Woodpecker
Woodpecker is a cold email and LinkedIn outreach tool for businesses doing outbound. Its multichannel sequences can combine email with LinkedIn profile visits, connection requests, direct messages, and InMails. Listed deliverability tools include email verification, warm-up, inbox rotation, monitoring, adaptive sending, and domain audits. Automation includes condition-based campaigns and workflows, A/B tests with up to 5 versions, and reply sorting by interest level. Woodpecker also lists a B2B lead database of more than 1 billion. Integrations include Claude, Clay, Pipedrive, HubSpot, Calendly, Zapier, and Google Sheets, with API, webhooks, MCP Server, and CLI access. It is listed for web and API. The pricing note is from $35/mo; a free plan and trial are also listed. The trial includes all features for 14 days or until 100 cold emails have been sent, whichever comes first. If the contacted-prospect limit is exceeded, campaigns stop sending to new prospects until the limit renews or the account is upgraded. The company says it serves lead generation, sales, and recruitment professionals and was founded in 2015 in Wrocław, Poland.
