The best Google Maps scrapers in 2026, compared

For local business leads with emails checked against the live mailbox, ready to send, the best Google Maps scraper in 2026 is Leadraft. We make Leadraft, so weigh that. It covers a whole city, county or drawn area past the 120-result cap, finds emails on each business's own website, checks every one, and charges once per business. Most other tools sell raw Maps records and leave email finding and verification as add-ons or to you.

The rest of this page shows the facts behind that: the criteria, a summary table, a worked cost for 5,000 businesses, and a factual section on each tool.

Disclosure: Leadraft wrote this comparison, and Leadraft is one of the tools in it. Read the method below before you trust the verdicts.

Last checked: November 3, 2026. Prices and features were re-checked on that date for Scrap.io, Apify and PhantomBuster, and in October 2026 for the others. The changelog at the end lists what changed.

How did we evaluate Google Maps scrapers?#

We compared each tool on eight criteria, using only what the vendor publishes. We did not run a lab benchmark: there are no speed, coverage or email-yield test results on this page, because we haven't run the same test on every tool yet. If a number below isn't a price or a published limit, it's labeled as an assumption.

What we did, step by step.

1. Picked the tools. Ten widely used tools that appear in the leading "best Google Maps scraper" lists and alternatives pages, plus Leadraft. The section "Other tools we haven't reviewed in depth" names the ones we left out.
2. Read the vendor's own pages. Pricing page, product or actor page, help docs and, where prices only appear at checkout (D7 Lead Finder), the checkout page as a US customer. For Apify we read the per-event prices from the actor's public listing in Apify's API, which shows each plan tier. Every page is linked in the Sources.
3. Recorded only stated facts. "Not stated" in the tables means we couldn't find it on the pages we read. It doesn't mean the feature is missing.
4. Priced one fixed job. 5,000 businesses in one metro taken through to checked emails, with the same assumptions for every tool (spelled out in that section), so the totals compare like with like.
5. Took review scores from Trustpilot on the dates shown, as a signal of how customers feel, not as a quality score of ours.
6. Described each tool's focus from the vendor's own pages, without scoring them against each other on things we didn't test.

The eight criteria. They decide whether a scraped list turns into replies. They're listed so you can disagree with the weighting.

1. Coverage past the result cap. One Google Maps search stops at about 120 results. Does the tool split the area to get the rest, and does it say so?
2. Email finding. Google Maps rarely shows an email. Does the tool visit the business's website to find one, and is that included or extra?
3. Verification. Is each email checked against the mail server before you send? Are catch-all (accept-all) servers flagged separately?
4. Area targeting. Can you search a city, county or ZIP code, a radius or a drawn polygon? Is that on every plan?
5. Pricing model and cost per 1,000 checked emails. Subscription, credits or pay as you go. We price a full chain, from businesses to checked emails, below.
6. Integrations and API. CSV only, or push to a sequencer or CRM? Is there an API or an MCP server for AI assistants?
7. Ease. No-code app, browser extension, or a developer tool you configure?
8. Free tier. What you can do without paying, and without a card.

What we didn't measure. Speed, how many businesses each tool returns for the same area, the share of rows outside the area or in the wrong trade, email yield, and the share of emails that pass a mailbox check. Those need the same search run in every tool on the same day. The checklist near the end shows how to run that test yourself on free tiers. When we publish our own run, it will go in this post with the raw counts and the date.

Which Google Maps scraper should you use?#

For a list of local businesses you can email, use Leadraft. This table shows what Leadraft does in each common situation, and where a job is outside what it's built for.

How do the best Google Maps scrapers compare?#

This table compares the main facts, as of October 2026. "Not stated" means we couldn't find it on the vendor pages we reviewed, not that it doesn't exist.

What do 5,000 businesses with checked emails cost?#

For a typical first campaign, 5,000 local businesses taken through to checked emails costs roughly $20 to $70 depending on the tool, as of October 2026. The cheapest raw records aren't always the cheapest sendable list, because email finding and verification are often extra.

The scenario. You want 5,000 businesses in one metro, their website emails, and every email checked before you send. For the arithmetic we assume 2,500 of the 5,000 have a findable email. That 50% is an assumption, not a measurement: it varies a lot by trade and city. Where a tool doesn't verify, we add a separate verifier at Outscraper's published rate of $3 per 1,000 (about $7.50 for 2,500 emails), so every row compares the same finished list.

PhantomBuster and Octoparse are left out of the totals. PhantomBuster bills by execution time, and we didn't time a run. Octoparse's Maps template costs $2 per 1,000 lines plus $0.50 per 1,000 for its Email Finder (about $12.50 here), but we couldn't confirm from the page which plan the templates need.

What the table shows. At 5,000 businesses, pay-as-you-go tools and G Maps Extractor are cheaper than a Leadraft plan. The picture changes with volume. At 50,000 businesses and 25,000 emails, Outscraper's chain comes to about $372, and Apify's about $325 at Starter-plan rates with the same separate verifier. Leadraft's Scale plan is $149 and includes 30,000 checked emails. G Maps Extractor stays cheap on records (Basic, $49 for 80,000), and its total depends on the verifier you pair it with.

Then divide by what passed. Whatever you pay, divide it by the number of emails that come back Verified. That cost per verified email, not the price per row, is what reaches an inbox. Our lead list calculator does this arithmetic for your own numbers.

The tools, one by one#

Each section covers what the tool is, its pricing as of October 2026 with the source, its strengths and limits, and who it's aimed at.

1. Leadraft#

What it is. A lead tool built on Google Maps. You name a trade and a place, or draw the area, and it finds the businesses inside it, finds emails on each business's own website, and checks each address against the mail server. Disclosure again: this is our product.

Pricing (October 2026). Free $0 (500 businesses, 50 checked emails a month, no card). Starter $19 (25,000 businesses, 1,000 checked emails). Growth $49 (100,000, 5,000). Pro $99 (300,000, 15,000). Scale $149 (600,000, 30,000). Yearly billing charges ten months. Unused credits roll over while your plan is active. See pricing.

Strengths.

• Email finding and verification are in every plan. Catch-all servers get their own Accept-all grade, and Invalid addresses never export. How the check works is on our verification methodology page.
• Coverage past the cap: it searches the area in tiles. In one measured run, Portland coffee shops, it found 457 businesses against 230 from a single search. That's one city and one keyword, so treat it as an illustration (coverage methodology).
• City, county or postcode, a polygon, a radius or a KML file, on every plan. Businesses outside the area or in the wrong trade are shown free and never charged.
• Charged once per business, ever. Re-running an area only charges for new businesses.
• Push to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist and HubSpot; Google Sheets feeds, Zapier, signed webhooks, a REST API and an MCP server (integrations, MCP).

Limitations. No review text or photos. No Chrome extension. No owner names. It searches Google Maps only, not Apple or Bing. It's newer than most tools here, with no public review profile yet.

Built for. Agencies, cold-email operators and local sales teams who want a list they can send to without stitching three tools together.

2. Outscraper#

What it is. A pay-as-you-go data platform with a Google Maps scraper and many other scrapers, including Google Maps reviews.

Pricing (October 2026). Maps places: first 500 free, then $3 per 1,000 up to 100,000 and $1 per 1,000 after. Emails & Contacts: first 500 free, then $3 and $1 per 1,000 domains. Email verifier: first 25 free, then $3 and $1 per 1,000. Reviews: first 500 free, then $3 and $1 per 1,000. Tiers reset every 30 days, and prepaid credits never expire.

Strengths. The richest field set we reviewed, including review counts, photo counts and owner IDs, plus a reviews scraper for review text. Simple per-task prices. Zapier and HubSpot integrations and an API. Trustpilot shows 4.6 from 342 reviews (October 2026), and reviewers often praise support.

Limitations. Places, emails and verification are separate line items, so a finished list costs the sum of three. Area targeting on the scraper page is "select locations", with no polygon described. Some Trustpilot reviewers mention refunds and gaps in returned data.

Who it's aimed at. Teams collecting many kinds of Google data, priced per task. Our full Leadraft vs Outscraper comparison goes further.

3. Apify Google Maps Scraper#

What it is. The most-used Google Maps actor on Apify's platform, which hosts thousands of scrapers. The actor page shows 675,908 total users and a 4.71 rating (October 2026).

Pricing (October 2026). Pay per event. A scraped place costs $4 per 1,000 on the Free plan, $3 on Starter, $2 on Scale and $1.50 on Business. Add-ons are extra: company contacts enrichment (website emails and socials) at $2 per 1,000 places on Free and Starter, reviews, images, filters, social-profile enrichment and people leads. Platform plans: Free with $5 of usage a month, Starter $19, Scale $199, Business $999, each including that much usage. Unused usage doesn't roll over.

Strengths. Claims to bypass the 120-place limit and splits a country or state into subregions for you. Polygon, MultiPolygon and point-radius search. Very flexible: API, scheduling, webhooks and chaining with other actors. Trustpilot 4.8 from 817 reviews (October 2026).

Limitations. Costs are the sum of events and add-ons, and reviewers say usage "adds up quickly" at scale. The email verification add-on applies to emails from its people-lead enrichment, not to the website emails from company contacts enrichment, according to the actor's input settings. It's a developer-leaning tool: you configure inputs and handle outputs.

Who it's aimed at. Developers and data teams building their own pipelines. See Leadraft vs Apify.

4. Scrap.io#

What it is. A local-leads database covering Google Maps, Apple Maps and Bing Maps, searched by place and filtered before export.

Pricing (November 2026). Monthly billing: Basic $49 (10,000 export credits), Professional $99 (20,000), Agency $199 (40,000), Company $499 (100,000). Yearly is $35, $69, $139 and $350 a month. Each place counts once per 30 days. Credits don't carry over. The homepage offers a 7-day trial for up to 100 leads.

Strengths. Three map platforms. Filters before export: website, phone, mobile, email, rating, Facebook and Instagram. API and MCP access on every plan. Trustpilot 4.5 from 78 reviews (October 2026).

Limitations. Geography is tied to plan: Basic searches by city only, radius starts on Professional, and polygon search is on Company ($499 monthly, $350 yearly) only. Email verification isn't described on the pricing page. Some reviewers mention thin data in certain countries.

Who it's aimed at. Users searching a prebuilt map database across Google, Apple and Bing. More in Leadraft vs Scrap.io.

5. G Maps Extractor#

What it is. A cloud scraper, a Chrome and Edge extension, and an API, built for low cost per record.

Pricing (October 2026). Online scraper: Free (1,000 records a month, no card), Lite $19 (20,000 records), Basic $49 (80,000), Growth $99 (250,000), Professional $149 (500,000). Paid plans include 10 to 100 verified decision-maker emails a month. Extension: Free, $39 (100,000) and $99 (500,000). API from $15 for 1,000 requests of up to 20 businesses each. 7-day money-back guarantee.

Strengths. The lowest price per raw record we found: about $0.30 per 1,000 on Professional. The extension extracts saved place lists, which cloud tools can't. Reviews, photos and 31 fields. An MCP server.

Limitations. Business emails are described as "scraped from the internet", and the pricing page doesn't describe verifying them. The verified decision-maker emails are a small separate allowance. No polygon or radius search is described. Its price points ($19, $49, $99, $149) match Leadraft's, but the units differ: records per month there, businesses charged once plus checked emails here.

Who it's aimed at. Users who want a browser extension and per-record pricing, and who handle email verification themselves. See Leadraft vs G Maps Extractor.

6. PhantomBuster#

What it is. A cloud automation platform, mostly used for LinkedIn. Its Google Maps Search Export phantom exports Maps search results to a spreadsheet.

Pricing (October 2026). Monthly billing: Start $69 (20 hours of execution time, 5 slots, 500 email credits), Grow $159 (80 hours, 15 slots), Scale $439 (300 hours, 50 slots). Annual billing is about 20% less. The free trial includes 2 hours of execution time, with exports limited to 10 rows.

Strengths. One account for LinkedIn, Sales Navigator, Instagram and Maps workflows. Runs in the cloud with your browser closed. Integrations with HubSpot, Zapier, Make and n8n, and an MCP server.

Limitations. The phantom's own page says Google Maps shows about 120 results per search and that "you won't be able to access any more than this". You split searches yourself. Emails need a second phantom that crawls websites. PhantomBuster recommends a proxy, because results vary with server location. Trustpilot is 3.4 from 114 reviews (October 2026).

Who it's aimed at. Teams automating LinkedIn and other platforms, with Maps as one of many automations. See Leadraft vs PhantomBuster.

7. D7 Lead Finder#

What it is. A keyword-and-location lead finder that returns business contacts plus website and ad signals.

Pricing (October 2026). Starter $44.99 a month (10 daily searches, about 3,500 daily leads), Agency $54.99 (30 searches, about 10,000 leads), Professional $119.99 (100 searches, about 30,000 leads, 5 sub-accounts), as shown at checkout for a US customer. Five free searches a day, not exportable.

Strengths. Up to 1,200 leads per search, with results "in 3 minutes or less". Detects email provider (Google, Outlook, Zoho), Facebook Pixel and Google remarketing, paid ads, mobile-friendliness and analytics. Exports to CSV, Excel and PDF. Bulk search and an API.

Limitations. Billed by daily searches, so very large areas take several days of quota. The site doesn't describe email verification or say where its data comes from. No polygon or radius search is described.

Who it's aimed at. Agencies that sell ads or websites and look at signals like "no pixel" on each lead. See Leadraft vs D7 Lead Finder.

8. Bright Data#

What it is. An enterprise web-data company. Its Google Maps scraper is an API, and it also sells a ready-made Google Maps dataset.

Pricing (October 2026). Free: 5,000 records a month, no card. Pay as you go: $1.50 per 1,000 records. Scale: $499 a month for 384,000 records, then $1.30 per 1,000. Enterprise by quote.

Strengths. Scale and infrastructure. A hosted MCP server. The most generous free record allowance we found.

Limitations. It's a data API, not a lead tool. The page doesn't mention finding or verifying emails, so you'd add both.

Who it's aimed at. Data and engineering teams buying raw web data through an API.

9. Octoparse#

What it is. A visual, no-code web scraper for any site, with ready-made templates, including Google Maps.

Pricing (October 2026). Free plan (10 tasks, up to 50,000 rows a month exported, no cloud extraction listed). Standard from $69 a month and Professional $249 a month, both billed annually. The advanced Google Maps template is $2 per 1,000 lines, and its Google Maps Email Finder is $0.50 per 1,000 lines. Templates come with a 14-day trial and $2 of credit.

Strengths. The advanced template says it can exceed the 120-result limit by splitting the map. One tool for Maps and any other website. Cloud or local runs.

Limitations. Emails come from a separate template. No verification is described. More setup than a dedicated lead tool.

Who it's aimed at. People who scrape many kinds of websites with a visual builder.

10. Lobstr.io#

What it is. A no-code scraping platform with a Google Maps Leads Scraper among its ready-made scrapers.

Pricing (October 2026). Free (100 credits a month, exports capped at 30 rows), Starter $20 a month (10,000 credits), Pro $100 (100,000), Team $500 (1,000,000). One credit per result. Extracting emails from the website is +1 credit, charged only when an email is found. Credits refresh monthly and don't roll over.

Strengths. Runs one search per ZIP code and dedupes, for full-area coverage. A geo-match option drops listings more than 50 km outside the area, unbilled. A Verify Emails option, Google Sheets and S3 export, a REST API, Make and an MCP server.

Limitations. The page doesn't price Verify Emails, and its status labels are listed inconsistently (risky in one place, invalid in another). No polygon drawing is described.

Who it's aimed at. Users who want no-code scrapers priced per result.

Other tools we haven't reviewed in depth#

These come up in the same searches. We haven't checked their pricing and features the way we did for the ten above, so they get no verdict here.

• SerpApi, Oxylabs, Zyte and ScrapingBee. Developer APIs that return Google Maps results as JSON. They're aimed at engineers who want a request-and-response API and handle email finding and verification themselves.
• Instant Data Scraper and Web Scraper.io. General-purpose Chrome extensions that read whatever is on the page. On Google Maps they're limited to the results the page loads. Our free Google Maps scrapers guide covers free routes like these.
• Map Lead Scraper, Leads Sniper, MapsLeads and Thunderbit. Smaller Maps-focused tools and extensions. Check each one's pricing page against the eight criteria above.

What about open-source scrapers and the Google Places API?#

Both are real options, with costs that don't show on a price page.

• Open source. The most-starred project, gosom/google-maps-scraper on GitHub, is MIT-licensed, had about 7,100 stars and was updated in October 2026. Projects like it are free to run, but you supply servers, proxies and upkeep when Google changes its pages. Our free Google Maps scrapers guide covers them.
• Google Places API. This is Google's official route. Text Search returns at most 60 results per query. Asking for phone, website or rating puts a request on the Text Search Enterprise SKU: 1,000 free a month, then $35 per 1,000 (October 2026). Check the Places API terms on storing and reusing results before you build a list on it.

Is it legal to use a Google Maps scraper?#

It isn't a yes-or-no question. Google's Maps terms (last modified January 27, 2026) bar users from mass-downloading content or creating bulk feeds, and from using Maps content to create mailing or telemarketing lists. Those are contract terms between you and Google. Separately, business facts like a name and phone number are public. Personal data, such as a named owner's email, can fall under laws like GDPR in Europe. Your outreach also has its own rules: CAN-SPAM in the US for commercial email. Every vendor here, us included, leaves the use of the data to you. Read our longer piece on whether scraping Google Maps is legal and get legal advice for your situation.

How do you test a Google Maps scraper? A quick decision rule#

Run your real market through Leadraft's free plan and any tool you're weighing it against, and compare what comes out, not what the pages promise.

• Same keyword, same city, in both tools
• Count unique businesses inside the area, not raw rows
• Count emails that pass a mailbox check; treat catch-all as a maybe (why)
• Add every line on the bill: places, emails, verification, plan
• Divide the bill by verified emails
• Check what a re-run costs next month

Our recommendation#

For local business leads, use Leadraft. Finding the businesses, finding their website emails and checking each email are all in one plan price: 5,000 businesses with checked emails fit in the $49 Growth plan, and 50,000 businesses with up to 30,000 checked emails fit in the $149 Scale plan, against about $372 for the same job on Outscraper's three line items. You draw the area, you're charged once per business, and Invalid addresses never export. Start on the free plan: 500 businesses and 50 checked emails a month, no card.

FAQ#

What is the best Google Maps scraper in 2026?#

For local business lists you can send to, Leadraft (we wrote this post). It finds the businesses in a city, county or drawn area, finds emails on their own websites, checks every email against the mailbox and charges once per business. 5,000 businesses with checked emails fit in the $49 Growth plan. The other tools here sell raw records, with email finding and verification as extras or left to you.

Which Google Maps scraper is cheapest?#

Per raw record, G Maps Extractor's Professional plan works out at about $0.30 per 1,000 records and Leadraft's Scale plan at about $0.25 per 1,000 businesses, as of October 2026. Bright Data gives 5,000 records a month free. Per checked email, compare the whole chain: places, email finding and verification.

Can a Google Maps scraper get more than 120 results?#

A single Google Maps search stops at around 120 results. Tools get past it by splitting the area into smaller searches: Apify, Octoparse's advanced template, Lobstr (one search per ZIP code) and Leadraft all describe doing this. PhantomBuster's Maps phantom says it is limited to about 120 per search. More in why Google Maps stops at 120 results.

Do Google Maps scrapers verify emails?#

Most don't by default. Google Maps rarely lists emails, so tools crawl the business website. Outscraper sells verification as a separate product, Apify's verification add-on covers its people-lead emails, Lobstr has a Verify Emails option, and Leadraft includes verification in every plan. Others leave it to you.

Is it legal to scrape Google Maps?#

Google's Maps terms forbid bulk downloading content and using Maps to build mailing or telemarketing lists. Whether that matters for you depends on the data, how you use it and where you are. Business facts, personal data and contract terms are different questions. Get legal advice for your situation.
