I initially liked Woodpecker for the low cost. $50 a month is close to half of what the next nearest platform is. The features were basic, but perfect for cold emailing only - no VoIP, no other expensive add ons like the other platforms. They also have a nice agency feature which allows managing campaigns and not costing a license. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Regardless of the settings you put on woodpecker it does not follow them. For example, I set my sending window for b2b email from 8am to 1pm, Woodpecker was delivering my campaign ALL DAY LONG, even though we are only talking about a hundred emails.

Secondly, I set my frequency to go out between 15-30 seconds apart to ensure that my emails were able to get out during my sending window. Woodpecker was STILL SENDING them 6 minutes apart, which means that their platform is miserably broken.

Thirdly, I noticed a lack of responses over a few days. I logged into the platform and the Gmail integration had surprisingly been broken for almost a week. No notification, no warning, Woodpecker just stopped sending mail without even telling me.

Fourthly, the support and sales team is uber slow to respond. It may be an EU thing since they are a Polish company, but I was floored at the fact that it was taking multiple days to resolve issues when the platform was broken. When Gmail integration was broken, it took them 3 days to figure it out, 3 days I was paying - that is 10 days I was paying for a borked platform.

I emailed their entire executive team, with countless issues, and not ONE of them had the acumen to step in and take ownership of the ongoing borking. Instead, customer success floundered helplessly for almost 1.5 weeks trying to resolve a myriad of sending, scheduling, and integration issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Woodpecker is the best software that I use on a daily basis. I have about 10 instances for different clients and it allows me to automate the lead gen process and ensure a constant flow of emails every day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I understand why, but I wish you could send attachments. Even that is not a huge problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The cost for setting up Woodpecker is really low as compared to any other mass emailing service. We use woodpecker for most of our campaigns in my department for not just contacting employees within my department, but also for reaching out to other sister departments. This way we attract more attendees with simply cold emails. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I haven't had much trouble with Woodpecker because I have only used it for mass emailing and managing campaigns. The initial setting up of the address book can be a bit frustrating, but it gets better as you become more familiar with the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how easy it is to use and the efficiency with which you can send mass/'cold' emails which help in reaching a lot of prospects. This helps me communicate with all the tutors working for me very easily because of the great campaigning features provided through which I can set up informative meetings with them.

Another feature that I really love is that the tutorials they provide for walking you through all the functionality are great and help making the best use of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have nothing in particular to dislike about Woodpecker.co. It is very innovative, looks creative and has saved me a lot of time. I would say that a source tracking feature might be helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I recently began a car-pooling startup. Getting new users was by far the biggest challenge. So, my team and i decided to send mass emails to give out signup bonuses and free trials. Woodpecker helped us get our customized emails up and going in a matter of hours.

We've had substancial growth in new users due to woodpecker. It was also inexpensive to sign up and create personalized emails. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish woodpecker provided its API so that our developers could integrate it with our in-house software Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We use a lot of cold emails to attract customers and to invite them to try our products. Woodpecker helps us automate the process and also helps provide different kinds of responses to those customers who end up clicking on our links or replying to a cold email. My favorite feature is the option to customize the emails being sent so that the customers feel the personal touch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Woodpecker allows you to setup many email sequences and tests to see which variations convert best. You can make very custom sounding cold emails with the use of Snippets that can be included in your CSV, then embedded into your message copy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I need to pay extra for Zapier integration. Also need to pay extra for different email addresses, even if same user. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
