MailFleet vs Woodpecker
Woodpecker prices by how many new people you contact each month and sells LinkedIn, extra warmups and agency tooling as add-ons. MailFleet prices by plan and includes those in it. Which is cheaper depends entirely on your numbers — this page gives you both sets.
The short version
Pick Woodpecker if your volume is small and steady (a few hundred new prospects a month), you like paying only for what you contact, and you want a long-established tool with an agency panel and condition-based campaigns.
Pick MailFleet if you'd rather one predictable price cover unlimited mailboxes, unlimited teammates, warmup, LinkedIn steps and dedicated IPs, and you want replies sorted by intent rather than by arrival.
Pricing, side by side
Woodpecker's pricing is a slider on contacted prospects per month — every new person added to a campaign counts, from 500 prospects upward — with a separate menu of add-ons. MailFleet's plans are flat monthly fees that set how many leads you can keep and how many emails you can send each month. Prices in USD, read from each vendor's pricing page on the date at the top.

Sources: Woodpecker pricing, read on 22 September 2026, and MailFleet pricing, as of 2 October 2026. Woodpecker's exact monthly figure depends on the slider position and billing term; the entry figure above is what the page and Woodpecker's own listings show for 500 prospects.
The arithmetic that matters
Woodpecker's model is attractive at low volume: contact 500 people a month and pay about $35. But the add-ons are where a real setup ends up. A small team wanting LinkedIn on two accounts (+$58), warmup on eight mailboxes beyond the included ones (+$40 at $5 each), API access (+$20) and one dedicated server (+$59) is paying roughly $210 a month before increasing the prospect slider.
MailFleet Pro at $69 includes a dedicated IP, warmup for every connected mailbox, one LinkedIn sender (a second is $60), API and webhooks — about $129 for the equivalent, with 150,000 emails and 30,000 stored leads.
At very small volume — one person, one or two mailboxes, no LinkedIn — Woodpecker's entry price undercuts MailFleet's $39 Basic, and its included email verification is a genuine plus (MailFleet's starts on Pro).
Where the products genuinely differ
What you pay for
Woodpecker counts prospects contacted each month; MailFleet counts leads stored (room in your workspace, not a monthly count — deleting leads frees it) and emails sent. If you contact each person once with a long follow-up sequence, Woodpecker's meter is gentle. If you send many follow-ups to a stable pool, MailFleet's email credits are the number to watch (Basic's 10,000 a month is the tight one; Pro's 150,000 covers most teams).
Woodpecker offers LinkedIn automation as a $29-per-account add-on. MailFleet includes one LinkedIn sender on Basic and Pro and three on Scale, and charges $60 for each additional one — more per extra account than Woodpecker, but the included senders cost nothing extra and the automation (visits, invites with notes, messages, acceptance detection, inbox sync) runs inside the same sequence with the email steps.
Warmup
Woodpecker includes warmup for a limited number of accounts and charges $5 a month for each additional one. MailFleet warms every connected mailbox against its whole network at no charge, and warmup traffic never counts against your email credits.
Agency features
Woodpecker's Agency panel ($27 per active client) gives per-client views and billing. MailFleet's operator console and campaign hand-over let a team build for a client and move the campaign into the client's own workspace; there is no per-client fee, but also no white-label.
Replies and sequencing
Both stop a sequence on reply. Woodpecker has long had condition-based campaigns (branch on opens or clicks) and AI interest detection. MailFleet's builder supports condition nodes and A/B variants, and its reply inbox tags intent (interested, meeting, question, not now, not interested, out of office, wrong person, referral), holds follow-ups for an out-of-office return date, and forwards by rule.
Verification
Woodpecker includes unlimited email verification, catch-all included, and that is a real advantage for lists of unknown quality. MailFleet includes verification on Pro (300 checks a day) and Scale (1,000 a day): check a CSV or a lead list, or verify during import and keep only the statuses you choose (Verified, Catch-all, Role, Unknown). An address you checked in the last 30 days is free to check again. Basic doesn't include it. MailFleet also stops sending on hard bounces, with an auto-pause when a campaign's bounce rate climbs.
Things MailFleet does not do (yet)
- No pay-as-you-go tier below $39.
- No email verification on Basic, and a daily cap on Pro and Scale where Woodpecker's is unlimited.
- Extra LinkedIn senders cost more than Woodpecker's add-on ($60 vs $29), though one is included (three on Scale).
- No white-label agency panel.
Which should you choose?
Put your real numbers into both models: mailboxes, LinkedIn accounts, people who need logins, prospects per month, follow-ups per prospect. Woodpecker wins at small, steady, email-only volume with lists that need verifying. MailFleet wins once you add LinkedIn, more than a handful of mailboxes, or a team — the add-ons that make Woodpecker's bill grow are the things MailFleet's flat price already includes.
FAQ
How does Woodpecker's pricing work?
You pay for the number of new prospects contacted per month, chosen on a slider (from 500), with unlimited email accounts and team members. LinkedIn ($29 per account), extra warmups ($5 per account), dedicated servers ($59), the API ($20) and the agency panel ($27 per client) are separate monthly add-ons, per Woodpecker's pricing page.
Does MailFleet charge per mailbox or per user?
No. Every plan includes unlimited connected mailboxes and unlimited teammates. You pay a flat plan price that sets how many leads you can keep and how many emails you can send a month; the only per-unit charges are additional LinkedIn senders ($60 a month) and calling.
Which includes email verification?
Both do. Woodpecker includes unlimited verification with catch-all detection on every plan. MailFleet includes 300 checks a day on Pro and 1,000 on Scale — for uploaded files, lead lists and imports — and protects deliverability with bounce handling and auto-pause. MailFleet's Basic plan doesn't include verification.
Can I bring Woodpecker mailboxes to MailFleet?
Yes — connect them with their SMTP/IMAP credentials (or a Google app password) via CSV; each is verified automatically and warmup can start immediately.
