Overloop vs Woodpecker 2026: Pricing and Feature Breakdown

Overloop prices by seat and credit: $69 to $99 per user monthly, capped at 250 to 500 lead credits. Woodpecker prices by contacted prospect: $7 per 100, with unlimited seats included free. If you're running one rep against a big list, Woodpecker's model saves money. If you need built-in prospecting on a small team, Overloop's credits do more work per dollar.

Overloop vs Woodpecker: Pricing and Features Side by Side

Both tools sell cold email sequencing, but they charge for it in opposite ways. Overloop bills per seat with a credit cap. Woodpecker bills per prospect contacted, with seats free. That difference decides which one is cheaper for your team.

Overloop wins on breadth per seat. Woodpecker wins on cost per prospect once you're past a few hundred contacts a month.

How does Overloop's credit system actually work?

Overloop's Starter plan costs $69/user/month for 250 credits, and Growth costs $99/user/month for 500, per Overloop's pricing page. Each credit sources one prospect or verifies one email. Sending emails and LinkedIn messages costs nothing, so credits only drain when you're prospecting inside the tool.

Smart design if you already own a list. A bad deal if you expect Overloop to build your pipeline from scratch. Starter's 250-credit ceiling covers roughly 125 fully sourced-and-verified contacts a month. That's thin for an active SDR.

What does Woodpecker actually include before you hit an add-on wall?

Every Woodpecker tier, even the cheapest usage bracket, includes 16,000 emails a month, 4,000 stored prospects, four free warm-up slots, 100 Lead Finder credits, and unlimited team seats, per Woodpecker's pricing page. Generous. LinkedIn isn't part of it, and neither is a real contact database beyond those free credits.

Where the bill actually grows:

• LinkedIn outreach: $29 per connected account, monthly
• Extra warm-up slots past the free four: $5 per account
• API, MCP server, or webhook access: $20/month
• Agency Panel for client accounts: $27 per client

Five reps with LinkedIn on adds $145/month on top of usage fees. Cheap sticker price, until you count what's missing.

Which one wins on deliverability?

Both bake warmup into the product, which is table stakes in 2026. Overloop includes it on every plan with no visible cap. Woodpecker caps free warmup at four inboxes, then charges $5 per extra account, but pairs it with inbox rotation, a domain audit, and a spam-word checker Overloop doesn't publish equivalents for.

Woodpecker's stack goes deeper past four inboxes. Overloop's warmup is simpler. Simpler isn't always worse, but it's shallower on paper.

Overloop vs Woodpecker: which should you pick?

Pick Woodpecker if:

• You already have a sourced, verified list
• You're sending 6,000+ emails a month and want to skip per-seat fees

Pick Overloop if:

• You're a 2-3 person team with no existing data source
• You want prospecting, email, and LinkedIn under one seat price

Here's the part neither vendor states outright: pricing model matters less than list quality. Whether you're comparing Overloop, Woodpecker, or a heavier stack like Apollo paired with Instantly, a cheap tool sending bad data still burns your domain reputation. Sourcing, sending, and inbox health work best treated as one system, since splitting those across tools is where most outbound motions actually break.

If you'd rather skip the pricing math and the deliverability guesswork entirely, that's what Modern Inbound's setup service handles for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Overloop cheaper than Woodpecker?

It depends on volume. Overloop's Growth plan is $99/user/month for 500 credits, while Woodpecker charges $7 per 100 contacted prospects with no per-seat fee. A team contacting 2,000 prospects a month pays roughly $140 on Woodpecker's base usage rate versus one Overloop Growth seat at $99, but Overloop's credits run out faster if you're also sourcing leads inside the platform.

Does Woodpecker include LinkedIn outreach?

No. LinkedIn outreach is a $29-per-account monthly add-on on Woodpecker, per Woodpecker's pricing page. Overloop includes LinkedIn messaging and connection requests on every plan, including Starter at $69/user/month.

Which tool has a bigger built-in contact database?

Overloop ships with a 450M+ prospect database and charges 1 credit to source a contact plus 1 credit to verify an email. Woodpecker has no built-in database; its Lead Finder is a separate add-on starting at $10 for 500 credits.

Can I try either tool for free?

Yes. Both offer a 14-day free trial with no credit card required. Woodpecker's trial also caps out at 100 sent emails, whichever limit hits first, per Woodpecker's pricing page.
