All plans offer a free trial.

Both categories are comprised of four different plans and include a free trial.

In the image below, are the prices for Sending and Warmup.

10. Woodpecker

Rating ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

G2 4.1/5 (50 reviews) | Capterra 4.7/5 (35 reviews)

Overview

This email automation and outreach platform is designed for sales teams and professionals, so it can be a good alternative to SendNow.

Woodpecker has a friendly interface, so you can start using it right away. It has enough features to start your campaigns, but it doesn’t come with a client database.

With Woodpecker, reaching out to a lot of prospects can quickly become expensive, so it’s not the best choice if you’re on a budget. Also, there are other tools with more complex features that will cost you less.

‍

Also, the Woodpecker algorithm helps you avoid common email marketing mistakes, such as sending the same email to someone who already replied.
