Why us
Why Outreach2day tops this list
Warmup for every mailbox
Woodpecker's 8,000-prospect tier includes 16 warmups, then $5 a month per mailbox. Every Outreach2day mailbox warms up for 14 days, keeps warming while it sends, and the $2.50 covers it.
MCP and API in the price
Woodpecker puts its API, webhooks and MCP server in a $20 add-on. Our MCP server and REST API come with every account, with 24 tools from buying domains to reading replies.
Mailboxes that keep their logins
Our SMTP/IMAP mailboxes export as a CSV with their logins to Woodpecker or any other tool. Woodpecker's help center says some mailbox types bought there cannot be logged into outside it.
Woodpecker adds automated LinkedIn steps, a 1B+ contact Lead Finder, an agency panel with per-client billing and a free trial. Outreach2day is email only, with no lead database or trial.

Choosing
What changes when you leave Woodpecker
Mailboxes you connected yourself move with their logins. Mailboxes and domains bought in Woodpecker are non-refundable, and the help center says Maildoso and Infraforge mailboxes bought there cannot be logged into outside it, so plan for new domains and a warmup of about 14 days.
With Woodpecker's own Google or Microsoft mailboxes at $6, a 5,000-a-day setup is $1,830 a month before the extra warmup slots those mailboxes need above the free ones.
Choosing by the reason you are leaving
Warmup and the API in the plan price: Outreach2day, Instantly, Saleshandy or PlusVibe. A refund window: Smartlead or Saleshandy. LinkedIn bundled with email: lemlist. A dialer: Mailshake or Saleshandy.
Woodpecker's MCP server is compared with others in our best MCP servers for cold email; Instantly alternatives and Saleshandy alternatives go deeper on two of the options.

FAQ
Woodpecker alternatives: questions
What is the best Woodpecker alternative?
For email-only cold outreach, Outreach2day: $543 a month at 5,000 emails a day with mailboxes, warmup, the sequencer and the MCP server. For unlimited warmup in a separate sequencer, Instantly or Saleshandy; for LinkedIn bundled with email, lemlist.
How much does Woodpecker cost?
From $35 a month for 500 contacted prospects. At 1,000 cold emails a day (about 7,300 new prospects a month) the 8,000 tier is $159; at 5,000 a day the 40,000 tier is $587, or $1,130 with 200 of our mailboxes and 40 domains. API and MCP are $20 more.
Does Woodpecker include warmup?
Each tier includes some warmups (2 on the 500 tier, 16 on 8,000, 75 on 40,000); more cost $5 a month per mailbox, up to 20. Mailboxes from Outreach2day keep their own warmup running inside the $2.50.
Can I use Outreach2day mailboxes in Woodpecker?
Yes. Woodpecker bulk-adds SMTP/IMAP mailboxes from a CSV, 200 per file, and our CSV export carries the SMTP/IMAP settings.
