While Outplay is focused more on sales engagement, Woodpecker was built specifically as a cold emailing platform.
The focus on cold emailing helped us to build features that will optimize your outreach efforts and allow you to connect with potential customers in new ways.
Woodpecker increases your reply rates with automated paths that react to recipient actions. Just set up the chain of messages and Woodpecker takes care of the rest. .
Woodpecker maximizes your deliverability from day one with automatic and free domain & email warm-up. You won’t need to worry about your email or domain getting blocked because our email verification system will prevent any unnecessary bounces. You can also recover a burned domain and bring it back to life with our recovery feature, which is also included for free in every plan.
Woodpecker offers email warm-up & domain recovery features for free in every plan.
Unlike competitors, Woodpecker differentiates between email & domain warm-up, and offers a scenario for recovering your burned domain.
Now get 4 slots (2 email + 2 warm-up) in the price of one.
Outplay doesn’t offer warm-up or recovery features.
So do you want free warm-up and recovery with Woodpecker or no warm-up and recovery with Outplay?
*Unfortunately, from February 2023, Google no longer supports automated warm-up for Gmail accounts. However, you can still achieve the same results manually by following these simple steps.
Track your deliverability with Woodpecker and spot any issues before they happen so you can prevent them. No other cold email tool on the market allows you to do this.
With Woodpecker your deliverability is protected 24/7. Bounce Shield adjusts your sending frequency so you can be sure you won’t get blocked by your email provider for exceeding the sending limits.
Woodpecker allows you to automate follow-ups and adjust them to recipient behavior. Set the sequence up once and let us do the rest!
The A/B testing feature and automatically-generated performance reports allow you to optimize your campaigns by using more of what works and changing what doesn’t.
You can adjust follow-ups to your prospect’s behavior by setting up ‘Yes’ and ‘No’ paths. Based on whether they opened your email, replied to it or clicked on a specific link, they will get a specific, personalized message sequence.
With Woodpecker, you always maintain a natural, human feel to your conversations.
