Pricing analysis Woodpecker costs $35/month for 500 contacted prospects on monthly billing, or $23.33/month billed annually ($280/year, 33% off). Price is set by contacted prospects, not seats or emails: 2,000 prospects cost $67/mo, 10,000 cost $188/mo and 25,000 cost $395/mo, so the rate falls from $7.00 to $1.58 per 100 prospects. Every tier includes unlimited team members and email accounts, 16 emails per contacted prospect, catch-all verification, warm-ups and 100+ Lead Finder credits. Add-ons are billed on top with no annual discount: LinkedIn outreach $29/mo per account, API and integrations $20/mo, extra warm-up $5/mo, mailboxes $4 to $6/mo, agency panel $27/mo per client. Free trial: 14 days, no credit card. Prices checked on woodpecker.co on 2026-09-27.
Plans
Woodpecker ships 5 tiers. Per-seat pricing combined with a credit system for data lookups - the listed price is rarely the real cost.
Woodpecker pricing tiers, read from the official calculator on woodpecker.co on 2026-09-27. Woodpecker has no named plans any more: you pick a number of contacted prospects per month and the price follows. The figure is the same in USD and EUR ($35 or €35).
| Contacted prospects / month | Monthly billing | Annual billing (per month) | Price per 100 prospects | Emails / month | Lead Finder credits |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 500 | $35 | $23.33 | $7.00 | 8,000 | 100 |
| 2,000 | $67 | $44.67 | $3.35 | 32,000 | 200 |
| 4,000 | $99 | $66 | $2.48 | 64,000 | 250 |
| 8,000 | $159 | $106 | $1.99 | 128,000 | 300 |
| 10,000 | $188 | $125.33 | $1.88 | 160,000 | 350 |
| 25,000 | $395 | $263.33 | $1.58 | 400,000 | 650 |
| 100,000 | $1,354 | $902.67 | $1.35 | 1,600,000 | 1,700 |
How to read it: the curve is steep at the bottom and flat at the top. Going from 500 to 2,000 prospects multiplies the volume by four for 1.9 times the price; going from 25,000 to 100,000 multiplies it by four for 3.4 times the price. Every tier gives 16 emails per contacted prospect and stores four times the contacted volume, so a 2,000 tier keeps 8,000 prospects in the account.
The annual toggle removes 33% from the prospect package only. Everything in the add-on list below is billed at the full monthly rate, times twelve.
Credits
Woodpecker bills actions in credits with non-equal costs. A 5,000-credit plan does NOT mean 5,000 lookups.
What Woodpecker actually meters, and what it gives away. The pricing unit is the contacted prospect: each unique prospect you reach in a campaign. Your email allowance is that number multiplied by 16, the maximum number of campaign steps, so a follow-up to someone already contacted uses allowance, not budget.
| Item | How it is billed |
|---|---|
| Contacted prospect | $7.00 per 100 at the 500 tier, $1.58 per 100 at 25,000 |
| Emails sent | Included, up to 16 per contacted prospect ✓ |
| Team members and email accounts | Unlimited on every tier ✓ |

How Woodpecker stacks against Derrick, Hunter, and the other tools we benchmarked.
What a Woodpecker bill really looks like at three team sizes. The package price is only the floor. These three set-ups use the official rates above and the add-ons each team typically needs.
| Set-up | What is in it | Monthly billing | Annual billing (per month) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Solo founder | 500 prospects + 1 LinkedIn account | $64 | $52.33 |
| SDR team of 3 | 2,000 prospects + 3 LinkedIn accounts + API | $174 | $151.67 |
| Agency, 5 clients | 10,000 prospects + agency panel × 5 + 10 Google mailboxes + API | $403 | $340.33 |
Two patterns stand out. For the solo founder, LinkedIn is 45% of the bill. For the agency, the prospect package is under half of it. When you compare Woodpecker with another sender, compare these totals, never the entry price.
Where Derrick fits in this budget. Woodpecker sends; it does not build your list. Its Lead Finder gives 100 to 650 credits a month and charges 1.5 credits per email found: about 133 emails on the 2,000 tier, for 2,000 prospects to contact. The list itself (verified work emails, company data, LinkedIn profiles) usually comes from a data layer upstream, and that is Derrick's job. With Derrick's Email Finder each email found costs 5 credits and is already verified, and you are only charged when an email is found. Enriching the 2,000 prospects of an SDR team therefore costs at most 10,000 credits, the monthly volume of the Standard plan, and unused credits roll over. Email Finder starts from the Standard plan; the free plan gives 100 credits a month to test company and lead enrichment.
You work where you already are: the Google Sheets extension to enrich a list before the CSV import, the REST API or Zapier, Make and n8n to feed Woodpecker's own API add-on, or the MCP server to ask Claude or ChatGPT for a list in plain language. The Derrick web app at app.derrick-app.com covers teams who want none of the above, with nothing to install. Start with 100 free credits, no credit card.
What's included
What every Woodpecker tier includes, from the 500 prospect entry package upward, without paying for an add-on:
LinkedIn steps, the API and integrations, extra mailboxes and the agency panel are not included at any tier: they are add-ons, listed with their price above.
The verdict
Woodpecker earns its place when :
- Your sequences are long: you pay per contacted prospect, so the fifth follow-up is free
- You run an agency and want one panel for many client accounts
- You want unlimited seats and inboxes without a per-user fee
It doesn't earn its place when :
- Every rep needs LinkedIn steps: $29 per account quickly outweighs the package
- You need the API or a CRM sync on the entry plan: +$20 a month, +57%
- You expect the sender to supply your contact data: 100 to 650 Lead Finder credits a month will not
Why teams pick Derrick instead :
- You need to build and verify the list before it reaches Woodpecker, in Google Sheets, through the API or with the MCP
- You want work emails, phone numbers and company data in one place, paid per result found
- You want to start for free: 100 credits a month, no credit card
Derrick does not replace a sender: it fills it. Email Verification cleans a list you already own (1 credit per email, from the Standard plan) and Email Finder returns emails that are verified on arrival. We also publish one edition of the Derrick newsletter every two weeks with the outbound work we actually run, numbers included. Subscribe from the site.

Woodpecker starts at $35 a month for 500 contacted prospects, or $23.33 a month billed annually ($280 a year). The price follows your volume: $67 for 2,000 prospects, $188 for 10,000 and $395 for 25,000 on monthly billing. Add-ons such as LinkedIn ($29 per account) come on top.
Woodpecker has a 14-day free trial with all features and no credit card. There is no permanent free plan: after the trial you choose a contacted prospect tier, starting at 500 prospects for $35 a month.
Neither. Woodpecker charges per contacted prospect: each unique person you reach in a campaign. Team members and email accounts are unlimited, and each tier includes 16 emails per contacted prospect, so long sequences cost no more than short ones.
LinkedIn outreach ($29 a month per account), API and integrations ($20), extra warm-ups ($5 per email account), mailboxes ($4, or $6 for Google and Microsoft), domains (about $1 a month billed yearly), a dedicated server ($59), extra Lead Finder credits ($10 per 500) and the agency panel ($27 per active client, plus $5 for white label).
For the prospect package, yes: annual billing saves 33%. But add-ons get no discount, so a set-up with three LinkedIn accounts and the API saves about 13% overall, not 33%. Commit annually only once your volume is stable, because you pay for the tier all year.
Only a little. Its Lead Finder comes with 100 credits a month at 500 prospects and 650 at 25,000, and finding one email costs 1.5 of those credits, so the entry tier covers about 66 emails. Most teams build and verify their list upstream, for example with Derrick's Email Finder (5 credits per email found, already verified), then import it into Woodpecker.
Woodpecker publishes the same figure in USD, EUR, GBP and CHF: the entry tier is $35, €35, £35 or CHF 35 a month. Other currencies such as AUD, CAD or SEK have their own grid. Check the currency selector on the pricing page before you compare quotes.
