Our take

At 5,000 emails a month the two are close in price, and Woodpecker is cheaper on annual billing and adds LinkedIn and two-way HubSpot and Pipedrive sync. Instantly scales much further on sending volume per dollar and bundles its own lead database and CRM. Pick Instantly to send at scale; pick Woodpecker for a smaller, careful outbound program.
