Who should choose which
Choose Woodpecker if
- you send cold email to a known prospect volume and want a price that scales with contacts, not seats.
- you want unlimited team members and email accounts on every tier.
- you want a large lead database in the same tool, priced by credits.
- you run an agency and want a per client panel with a white label reporting app.
Choose Sellinger if
- you want the agent to write each message, reply and book the meeting, rather than sort replies for your team.
- you want LinkedIn included in the agent price, not as a €29 add on per account.
- you want WhatsApp, Instagram replies and live chat held in the same history.
- you want a CRM with deals in the tool and intent signals included with every bundle.
Monthly cost of the LinkedIn side at one, five and twenty five accounts
The two products are priced on different axes, so a like for like comparison needs a scenario. Woodpecker bills by contacted prospects and charges extra per connected LinkedIn account. Sellinger bills per agent.
Woodpecker prices are monthly list prices in euros and Sellinger's are in US dollars, so the table shows only the Woodpecker add on for LinkedIn and the Sellinger agent price, with no conversion. Woodpecker's email tier comes on top and depends on your list size.
| LinkedIn accounts | Woodpecker LinkedIn add on, EUR | Sellinger LinkedIn agent, USD |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | €29 plus the email tier from €35 | $198 |
| 5 | €145 (5 accounts at €29) plus the email tier | $890 (5 agents at $178) |
| 25 | €725 (25 accounts at €29) plus the email tier | $4,200 (25 agents at $168) |
How prospects are counted
Woodpecker counts every campaign enrollment as a contacted prospect, so a person added to five campaigns counts five times. If you pass the cap, emails to new prospects stop and the plan does not upgrade by itself.
Sellinger does not meter contacted prospects. An agent has daily limits that pace sending, set per account, so the cost stays the same however many people it contacts in a month.
Login based access against a hosted login
Woodpecker's LinkedIn add on connects with your login, needs two factor authentication turned off while connecting, and runs during working hours on weekdays. Free and Premium accounts get few invites with a note.
Sellinger signs in through a hosted login and stores no password. The default limit is 20 invitations daily and 150 weekly, with no sending at night. LinkedIn may restrict an account whichever tool is used, and no vendor can promise it will not.
Switching between Woodpecker and Sellinger
Woodpecker holds your prospects, lists and templates, so export them before you move.
- Connect a spare LinkedIn account and a mailbox to Sellinger, kept apart from Woodpecker.
- Export the prospects and statuses you still want and import them into Sellinger.
- Brief the agent on the offer, use approval mode for the first drafts and begin with a limited list.
- Wait a few weeks and compare replies and booked meetings before moving more.
- Keep Woodpecker running for bulk email if volume matters, and let the agent work the replies and the LinkedIn side.
- Pause shared campaigns first so no person receives both a Woodpecker and a Sellinger message.
