• Automated reminders are very easy to set up
• Management of sending rates to mimic human behaviour
• Clear and efficient reporting

The prices are all sweet as we like: count 40$ for a single user (a sender). By default, on a Gmail or Gsuite box, Woodpecker recommends 300 to 500 emails / day. If you make a sequence of 4 emails, this allows you to treat 75 to 125 contacts / day. For each additional user, add $40 (about €35) / month.

The only big drawback of the software in our opinion is that everything is in English.
