Field noteWho Cold Send Desk is for
Cold Send Desk is an independent guide for agency owners, freelancers and small B2B sales teams who are choosing a cold email tool or pricing a client package. It asks which tool fits which agency size, how each tool bills, what one client account costs and how to start an agency in a safe order. Everything here is read from vendor pages, help articles and terms, plus the FTC's CAN-SPAM Rule and endorsement guides, dated November 1, 2026. Start with the Woodpecker pricing guide or go straight to the steps to start an agency.
Field noteWhere Woodpecker fits and where it does not
Woodpecker is a cold email and LinkedIn outreach tool with plans sized by emails sent each month and an optional Agency panel billed for each active client. It can suit an agency that wants one panel for several clients and team seats that do not add to the bill. It is a weaker fit for a solo seller, for a team that wants calls or SMS in the same tool, or for a buyer who needs contact data first. The review covers the limits, and Lemlist vs Woodpecker sets it beside a multichannel platform.
Field noteCheck the billing unit before you compare prices
Tools count different things: emails sent, contacts stored, users, active clients or workspaces. The same agency produces a different bill under each. The best cold email software guide sorts eight tools by billing unit and by how each keeps clients apart, and what is Woodpecker cold email explains the lead tool.
Field noteHow these pages are sourced
Plan facts come from each vendor's own pages and are dated, because plans, limits and terms change. Where a vendor page is silent or its pages differ, the guide says so. Customer counts and testimonials are the vendors' own claims and are labeled that way, in line with the FTC's endorsement guides. Prices stay on the vendors' live pages and are not repeated here. The FTC's CAN-SPAM Rule shapes the notes on commercial email. This is not legal, tax or financial advice, and results depend on your own clients and lists.
