Woodpecker vs Reply.io 2026: Pricing & Features Compared

Woodpecker prices by contacted prospect, roughly $35/month for 2,000 stored contacts plus $7 per 100 contacted. Reply.io prices by active contact, starting at $59/month for 1,000 with unlimited sending. For a team running 2,000-3,000 contacts a month, that pricing model difference matters more than any individual feature. Here's how the two stack up in 2026.

How much does Woodpecker cost vs Reply.io in 2026?

Woodpecker's base plan runs about $35/month for 2,000 stored contacts and 8,000 emails, then adds $7 per 100 prospects you actually contact past that, per Woodpecker's pricing page. Reply.io's Starter plan is a flat $59/month for 1,000 active contacts with unlimited sending built in, per Reply.io's pricing page. Below roughly 1,500 monthly contacts, Woodpecker is cheaper. Past that, Reply.io's flat rate stops the bill from scaling with every prospect you touch.

Both platforms bill extras separately. Woodpecker charges $6/month per new Google or Microsoft mailbox; Reply.io charges $29/month per user for calls and SMS. Neither vendor's "base price" is the real monthly number once a team is sending 500+ emails/month across a handful of mailboxes.

Which platform has better deliverability tools?

Woodpecker was built around deliverability first, not multichannel. Free warm-up, inbox rotation, adaptive sending, and a spam checker ship on every plan, per Woodpecker's pricing page. Reply.io leans on its own sending infrastructure and treats email validation as a paid add-on rather than a core feature. If your main risk is landing in spam, Woodpecker's tooling is more built-in for the price.

Does Woodpecker or Reply.io handle LinkedIn and multichannel outreach better?

Reply.io wins here. LinkedIn, calls, and SMS are part of the same workflow builder as email, and the Professional plan at $99/month bundles multichannel with advanced reporting and AI SDR access, per Reply.io's pricing page. Woodpecker treats LinkedIn as a $29/month bolt-on per account and has no native calling or SMS. For a team running email-only sequences, that gap doesn't matter. For an agency managing 10+ client accounts across channels, it does.

Which tool should you actually pick?

If you're a lean team sending under 1,500 contacts a month and care most about inbox placement, Woodpecker is the cheaper, more deliverability-focused pick. Its usage-based pricing punishes you at scale, though, so model the $7-per-100 fee before committing to it long-term. If you need LinkedIn, calls, and SMS running from one dashboard, or you're building an AI SDR motion, Reply.io's flat tiers are worth the higher entry price. Teams evaluating both also tend to look at Smartlead or Instantly for pure high-volume sending. Neither tool is the wrong choice on features alone. The real question is whether your pricing should scale with contacts (Woodpecker) or stay flat per seat (Reply.io).
