Leadraft vs G Maps Extractor: cheap records, or leads you can send to?

Sources reviewed November 3, 2026
The short version
G Maps Extractor prices by record: its Professional plan works out at $0.30 per 1,000 records. Leadraft costs a little less per business at the top end ($0.25 per 1,000) and includes checked emails.
The difference shows up in your inbox. Business emails pulled from websites bounce often when they're not checked first, and bounces cost sending reputation. Weigh the price per record against the price per email that lands.

G Maps Extractor in this comparison
Records are priced low, and there is a browser extension for one-off lists. Business emails come as found on the web, so plan to run them through a separate checker before you send.
Add the cost of a separate email checker, and the leads lost to bounces, to the price per record. Then compare.

Workflow fit
What Leadraft is built for, and what it doesn't do
Leadraft is built for the list you actually send to: every business in the area you draw, emails checked against the live mailbox before they count, and each business charged once. There's no separate checker to buy and no rows to throw away. It doesn't have a browser extension and doesn't collect review text or photos; searches run in the cloud and deliver contact data. For a local business list you can email, that's the whole job, and the free plan lets you test it on your own market.
