The meter is the workflow: prospects vs sends vs mailboxes

Woodpecker meters contacted prospects per billing cycle. The entry plan covers 500 prospects for $29/mo. Each unique person counts as one tick regardless of how many emails you send to that person across a sequence.

Send seven follow-ups to one prospect and the meter records one prospect, not seven sends. Move that prospect to a new campaign within the cycle and the meter does not double-count. The model assumes "narrow list, deep sequence" workflows: ABM-style outbound where every contact is hand-picked and gets sustained pursuit.

Saleshandy meters monthly email volume per workspace tier (6K Starter, 150K Pro, 240K Scale, custom Scale Plus) and charges $4 per connected Google or Microsoft mailbox per month. The send count is the bottleneck on lower tiers; the mailbox count is the bottleneck on higher-mailbox operations. The model assumes "wide list, send volume" workflows where each prospect typically receives 3-5 emails before classification.

A 500-prospect ABM campaign with 7 touches each is 3,500 emails. That fits Saleshandy Starter (6K cap) and fits Woodpecker entry tier (500 prospects). A 5K-prospect campaign with 3 touches each is 15K emails.

That requires Saleshandy Pro and Woodpecker mid tier. The crossover depends on touch depth: deep sequences favor Woodpecker; broad lists favor Saleshandy.

The annual discount neither platform advertises clearly

Saleshandy headlines annual prepay prices everywhere ($25, $69, $139, $219). Switch to monthly billing during checkout and the price jumps roughly 40-50 percent. The pricing page does not show monthly pricing as the primary anchor; the annual sticker is the headline number that buyers compare against competitor monthly pricing.

The mismatch leads buyers to expect $25/mo and pay closer to $36 in their first month, then realize they committed to annual prepay to get the advertised rate. Woodpecker offers an annual discount of roughly 15-20 percent but does not surface it on the public pricing page. The headline numbers on woodpecker.co are monthly billing.

The annual option appears during checkout or after talking to sales. The mismatch goes the other direction: buyers expect $29/mo, see $29 in their first month, and only later discover they could have paid less annually. The practical consequence: comparing Saleshandy Starter ($25 annual headline) to Woodpecker entry ($29 monthly headline) compares two different billing cycles.

The like-for-like comparison is Saleshandy $25 annual (effectively $300 commitment) vs Woodpecker $29 monthly ($348/year if paid monthly, roughly $290/year if paid annually). The actual annual cost is closer than the stickers suggest.

Two different paths to agency operations

Saleshandy unlocks white-label at the Scale tier ($139 annual). White-label includes branded login pages, custom domains for the agency panel, and removed Saleshandy branding from client-facing screens. The agency panel supports multiple client workspaces under one parent account, with consolidated billing or per-client billing.

This is the more mature agency offering between the two. Woodpecker includes an agency panel on every tier from $29/mo, but white-label is not part of the offering at any price. The agency panel handles multi-client management, but clients see the Woodpecker brand in the interface.

For agencies that white-label their service to clients, Woodpecker requires a workaround (proxying access, branded screenshots, etc.) that Saleshandy avoids. The Woodpecker pricing model is gentler for agencies running deep sequences against narrow client lists: one prospect tick per client contact regardless of touches. Saleshandy is gentler for agencies running wide lists with consolidated mailbox pools where the $4-per-mailbox fee gets diluted across high send volume.
