How we grade them
| 2.4GPAQuickMailFair | 2.6GPAWoodpeckerGood | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | BUsers are free, but Starter's 1,000 contacts and 5,000 emails won't carry five people, so the team plan is Growth: $99 a month billed monthly, $19.80 a head. That's inside the cheaper quarter, just over the A line, with LinkedIn included. | BMembers are free, so five people share one plan. At 10,000 prospects a month it's $188, or about $125 billed yearly with the 33% saving the page lists: roughly $25 a head, inside the cheaper quarter. A small team can start at $35 a month for 500. |
| Free plan and trial | DNo free plan, and the 14-day trial needs a card. QuickMail says no paid plan starts when the trial ends, which is fair, but a card up front still puts it at D on our scale. | CNo free plan, but a 14-day trial with every feature and no card. That's long enough to warm a mailbox up and see some real replies. |
| Features | BThe whole job: email plus LinkedIn requests, messages, InMail and voice messages in one sequence, replies from both in one inbox, inbox rotation, AI rewording and warm-up through MailFlow. Its deliverability AI swaps weak inboxes out for you. | BBranching campaigns of up to 16 steps, A/B tests, warm-up, free verification, one inbox sorted by interest and a Lead Finder. With the add-on, cloud-run LinkedIn invites, messages and visits join the same campaign, so the whole job is covered. |
| Ease of use | CNo App Store rating on record. Inboxes and LinkedIn accounts to connect, through the extension or a 2FA cloud link, before the first campaign goes out. | CNo App Store rating on record. You'll connect mailboxes, warm them up and build the conditions before sending, and LinkedIn means one more add-on to set up. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb and a browser extension, with Gmail, Outlook, HubSpot, Pipedrive, Zapier, Slack, Calendly and Aircall. The API starts at Growth, and webhooks come only with Agency. No phone app on record. | BWeb only, with HubSpot, Pipedrive, Clay, Calendly, Google Sheets, Zapier, Zoho and Aircall. The catch: the API, webhooks, MCP and the HubSpot and Pipedrive syncs are a $20 a month add-on. |
| Best for | email and LinkedIn campaigns with free seats | cold email teams who hate per-seat bills |

Worth knowing
QuickMail

- Starter stops at 1,000 uploaded contacts and 5,000 emails a month and has no API; webhooks come only with Agency.
- Agency includes 2 workspaces, and each extra client workspace costs $49 a month.
- QuickMail sends through your own mail accounts; extra Google Workspace inboxes bought through it cost $3 a month each.
Woodpecker
- A prospect counts once a month per campaign, but contacting the same person in two campaigns counts twice toward the limit.
- The API, webhooks, MCP and the HubSpot and Pipedrive syncs are a $20 a month add-on rather than part of the plan.

- The Agency Panel costs $27 a month per active client, plus $5 per client for white labeling.

- Add any number of inboxes or LinkedIn accounts to a campaign and QuickMail splits the sending between them, with edits and A/B tests shared across all of them.
- Deliverability AI
- Watches each sender's deliverability and swaps poorly performing inboxes out of a campaign for new ones.
- Reword with AI
- Rewrites outgoing emails so each one reads differently, as an alternative to writing spintax by hand.
