Google Maps lead tools compared
Leadraft vs Map Lead Scraper: a browser extension, or leads you can send to?
Map Lead Scraper is a browser extension for Chrome and Edge. You search Google Maps, open the extension and export what it collects, including emails and socials from each business's website. Leadraft runs searches on its own servers, covers the whole area you choose, and checks each email against the live mailbox.
Sources reviewed November 3, 2026
The short version
Map Lead Scraper prices by exported row: Pro allows 100,000 exported leads a month for $19.9 billed monthly, or $9.9 a month billed yearly. Leadraft's Starter plan is $19 for 25,000 businesses with 1,000 checked emails included.
Map Lead Scraper's price buys more raw rows, and it lists fields Leadraft doesn't collect, like review text, photos and claimed status. Its pages don't describe checking emails, and it works one search at a time in your browser. Leadraft covers the whole area and checks every email, so if bounces or full coverage matter to you, that is the difference.

What's on your screen, or everything in the area
Leadraft
What to check in Leadraft
Draw your area or pick a county and run it on the free plan. The area is searched tile by tile, so you get more than one Maps results page. Every email arrives graded Verified, Accept-all or Invalid, and Invalid addresses never export.
Map Lead Scraper
Map Lead Scraper in this comparison
Map Lead Scraper collects what Google Maps shows for the search in your browser, then visits each website for emails. It works a city at a time. Plan to split big areas into small searches, and to check emails yourself before you send.
Search the same keyword and city in both. Count unique businesses inside the city limits, then run the emails through the same mailbox checker. Add the checker's cost to the extension's price.
Trying both
Three questions to answer in a trial
- 01
How many businesses did each find?
Same keyword, same city. Count unique businesses inside the boundary, not raw rows.
- 02
How many emails pass a mailbox check?
Count addresses confirmed by the mail server. Treat catch-all addresses as a maybe.
- 03
How many searches does your territory take?
Count the cities or ZIP codes you'd search one by one, and the time each takes in the browser.
Workflow fit
Where Leadraft fits, and what it leaves out
Leadraft is built for full coverage and sendable emails: it searches the whole area you choose tile by tile in the cloud, checks every email against the live mailbox, and charges once per business. It doesn't collect review text, photos or claimed status, and it isn't a browser extension. If you want every business in a territory with emails you can send to, without splitting the map into ZIP codes or running a separate checker, that's the job Leadraft does.
