Here’s what Instantly users dislike about the Instantly software on G2

’email deliverability is terrible’

Many Instantly tool users report that their emails still end up in spam folders, even after completing the entire warm-up process and following the best email practices. With Woodpecker, you won’t have to worry about that. The 98% email deliverability rate and a human-like warm-up process ensures your emails will land in the main inbox every time.

‘quickly becomes very costly’

Instantly cold email tool only allows 1 user in its base plan, so as you scale up the price of Instantly will be greatly multiplied. With Woodpecker however, you can add as many users as you like, without ever having to pay more. Woodpecker makes team collaboration and scaling up easy without increasing costs.
