Woodpecker pricing: what it really costs
Woodpecker starts at $29/mo as of September 2026. That figure is the licence only — it is charged per workspace, so teammates do not multiply it, and it excludes contact data entirely. Budget for domains and mailboxes on top whatever you choose.
What you pay beyond the licence
Every line below follows from what Woodpecker does and does not include. None of it is optional if you intend to send cold at volume.
- Priced per workspace rather than per seat, so adding teammates does not multiply the bill — mailbox and contact limits are what move you up a tier.
- No contact database is included, so budget for a separate data vendor on top. For most teams this is the larger of the two line items.
- Domains and mailboxes are always a separate cost. Budget roughly $2-4 per mailbox per month plus domain registration, whatever platform you pick.

Is Woodpecker cheaper than running outbound as a managed service?
Licence cost is rarely the deciding number. Woodpecker from $29/mo is the software only — domains, mailboxes, a data vendor, copywriting and somebody's time to run it are all extra. Once that time is a salary, a managed retainer often lands cheaper than a tool plus a hire.
