How does scrapensend work?

You describe your target audience (e.g., "25 software houses in Europe"), write instructions for the AI email, pick the tone and style, and hit Execute. scrapensend finds companies, scrapes their contact emails from real websites, generates a unique personalized email for each one, and sends them from your inbox. Setup takes about 5 minutes.

What do I need to fill in to create a campaign?

Two main things: (1) who you want to reach — a description of your target companies, and (2) what the email should say — instructions for the AI. Then you pick the tone, length, opening hook, call-to-action, and language from dropdown menus. You can also add an HTML signature and set the send interval. It takes about 5 minutes total.

Is scrapensend safe to use with my Gmail?

Yes. scrapensend uses official Google OAuth2 — we never see or store your password. Only an encrypted refresh token. Emails are sent from your actual account with natural timing intervals (3-6 minutes between each) to protect your sender reputation. You can revoke access anytime from your Google Account settings.

How personalized are the AI-generated emails?

Each email is uniquely generated. The AI reads the target company's actual website, understands their business, services, and context, and writes a message based on your instructions specifically for them. No templates, no mail merge — two companies in the same industry get completely different emails.

Where do the company emails come from?

scrapensend scrapes them from the company's own website — contact pages, footer, about pages, mailto links, even Cloudflare-obfuscated emails. These are public business emails (info@, contact@, hello@), not personal addresses. If no email is found on a website, that company is skipped.

Is cold emailing legal?

Yes. Sending B2B cold emails to publicly available business addresses is legal under GDPR (legitimate interest, Article 6(1)(f)) and CAN-SPAM Act. scrapensend only targets companies, never private individuals. Our prompt validation system blocks requests for personal data.

How much does scrapensend cost?

Three plans: Starter at $19/month (10 campaigns, 100 leads each), Pro at $39/month (40 campaigns, 200 leads each, full style controls), and Business at $79/month (unlimited campaigns, 250 leads, no branding in emails). No setup fees. Cancel anytime.

Can I control the tone and style of emails?

Yes. You can customize: objective (sales, partnership, link building, research, recruiting), opening hook (website visit, industry match, direct question, compliment), tone (casual, direct, formal, bold), length (short or standard), call-to-action (soft check, find person, offer resource, book call), and language (auto-detect, English, Polish, German, Spanish, French).

Can I preview emails before they are sent?

Yes. scrapensend has a Preview button that generates a sample email using your instructions and style settings, addressed to a fictional company. You can review the tone, content, and structure before launching the campaign.

What email providers does scrapensend support?

Currently Gmail (via OAuth2), SendGrid (via API key), and Resend (via API key). Microsoft Outlook, custom SMTP, Mailgun, and Amazon SES support is coming soon.

Can I stop a campaign after it starts?

Yes. One click on the Stop button and no more emails will be sent. You can also resume a stopped campaign later. All progress is saved.

Do I need any technical knowledge to use scrapensend?

None. If you can fill in a form and click a button, you can use scrapensend. There is no code to write, no API to configure, no CSV files to import.

No volume anxiety

Woodpecker's 500 prospect limit on Starter creates pressure. ScrapenSend's Business plan offers unlimited campaigns. Focus on outreach, not counting prospects.

Woodpecker limitations to consider

-No AI email writing — manual template creation
-Per-slot pricing increases costs as volume grows

More features for less money

It's rare to find a tool that's both cheaper AND more feature-rich than a competitor, but that's the case with ScrapenSend vs Woodpecker.

At $29/month, Woodpecker includes only email sending with a 500 prospect limit. Add a lead sourcing tool ($50+/mo) and you're paying $79+ for a less capable setup than ScrapenSend's $19 Starter plan.
