Woodpecker vs lemlist (2026): Pricing Models, LinkedIn and Deliverability Compared
Woodpecker and lemlist both send cold email from your own mailboxes, both include warm-up, and both add LinkedIn steps to sequences. The real difference is how you pay: Woodpecker bills by the prospects you contact each month, while lemlist bills by plan and, on its multichannel tier, by user. That single choice decides which tool is cheaper for your team.

Pricing: per prospect vs per plan
Woodpecker's model is easy to reason about once you know your volume. At from $7 per 100 contacted prospects, a team reaching 500 new prospects a month starts at around $35 per month, before add-ons. Seats and mailboxes don't add cost, which is unusual in this category. The catch is that a prospect added to several campaigns counts more than once, and campaigns stop reaching new prospects when you hit your limit until you upgrade or the cycle renews.
lemlist charges a flat plan price. Its Email plan sits between $55 and $69 per month depending on billing, with unlimited users and senders. Once you need LinkedIn and calls, the Multichannel plan runs between $87 and $109 per month per user, so a five-rep SDR team multiplies that number by five.
The practical rule: low or irregular volume with several people involved favors Woodpecker; steady high volume run by one or two people can favor lemlist's flat Email plan.
LinkedIn and multichannel
lemlist was built around multichannel sequences, and its Multichannel plan bundles LinkedIn automation for each user. Woodpecker treats LinkedIn as an add-on from $29 per connected account per month, layered onto email sequences. If only one or two people need LinkedIn steps, Woodpecker keeps the bill smaller. If the whole team runs LinkedIn every day, lemlist's bundle is simpler to manage.
Deliverability and warm-up
Both send from your own authenticated Google or Microsoft mailboxes rather than shared servers, which is the baseline for cold email in 2026. lemlist includes lemwarm on all plans. Woodpecker includes a set of warm-up slots plus email verification, and charges from $5 per extra account to warm. Either way, authentication still matters more than the tool: see our SPF, DKIM and DMARC setup guide and the guide to how many cold emails per inbox per day.
Agencies and integrations
Woodpecker's Agency Panel (from $27 per active client, with a white-label option) is designed for agencies managing many client workspaces, and unlimited seats help when clients want their own logins. Woodpecker lists native integrations with HubSpot, Pipedrive, Zoho, Calendly and Google Sheets, plus Zapier, an API and webhooks; integrations and API access are sold as an add-on of around $20 per month. lemlist also connects to the major CRMs; check its integrations page for the plan that includes the one you need.
Who should pick which
Choose Woodpecker if you run an agency, have several people who need access, send to a modest or variable number of prospects each month, or only need LinkedIn on a few accounts.
Choose lemlist if your SDRs run LinkedIn and email together every day, you prefer a flat monthly price, or a small team sends high volume.
