Outscraper alternatives: Google Maps and email scraping compared

By Keencrest · 2026-11-01

Prices checked 2026-11-01 on each vendor's own pricing page or Apify Store listing. Prices change; check the linked page before you buy. We have not tested the competitors' output quality, so this guide compares price, billing unit and limits only. We make the Data Gleaner Actors and the Keencrest lead packs, and say where they lose.

Outscraper is a sensible default, and its pricing is already low. About 40 searches a month in the US look for an "outscraper alternative" with a $16.65 suggested bid (DataForSEO, 2026-11-01), so the reasons are worth stating plainly: you want a different billing model, a marketplace you already use, or a finished list instead of a tool.

What Outscraper charges (outscraper.com/pricing)

Google Maps Scraper: first 500 places free, $3 per 1,000 places up to 100,000, $1 per 1,000 above that.
Emails and Contacts Scraper (domain in, emails, phones, socials out): first 500 domains free, then $3 per 1,000 domains, $1 above 100,000.
No monthly fee, prepaid credits that never expire, or a card with postpaid invoices.

Alternatives

Option	Price (source)	Use it when
Apify Google Maps Scraper (by compass)	$0.004 per place on the Free plan, $0.002 on Silver, down to $0.000756 on the top tier; company contacts enrichment $0.002 per place on Free (Apify listing). 677,109 users.	You want the widest feature set and the most-used Actor, and you already run on Apify.
Data Gleaner Google Maps Leads (ours)	$0.0015 per place on Free and Bronze; contacts $0.002 only when found (Apify listing). 15 users.	You want local business leads with contacts, pay-on-found, on Apify. Fewer extras and little usage, so test one city first.
Data Gleaner Website Contact Details Scraper (ours)	$0.002 per site with an email found. 56 users.	You already have domains (from any source) and need the emails only.
Keencrest lead packs (ours)	$19 for 250 leads, $49 for 1,000, $99 for 2,500; free 25-lead sample. PayPal invoice, ordered by email.	You want a finished CSV for a trade and city and do not want to run a tool.

The same 1,000 places, priced

Outscraper: 500 free + 500 x $0.003 = $1.50 for places. Emails and Contacts: another 1,000 domains at the same rate, so up to $1.50 more if you enrich all of them; the first-500 free tier appears to apply per service, which we did not test.
Ours: 1,000 x $0.0015 = $1.50, plus 600 x $0.002 = $1.20 if 600 have a readable website contact (the 600 is an assumption), so $2.70.
compass: 1,000 x $0.004 = $4, plus $2 contacts = $6 on the Free plan; less on paid Apify plans.

Honest verdict

On these published prices Outscraper is about as cheap as anything here for a first 1,000 places, and its free first 500 beats ours for a small test. Pick an alternative for a reason other than headline price: you live in Apify and want one bill, you want pay-on-found contacts, or you would rather buy a finished list.

Try it: Google Maps Leads Scraper on Apify. $0.0015 per place, contacts $0.002 only when found. The Apify free plan includes monthly credit, so a test run costs nothing out of pocket.
