|---|---|---|
| What it is | Collection of pay-as-you-go scraping services with an API and a dashboard | Managed web app for Maps business lists with projects and exports |

| Free tier | First 500 businesses, tiers reset every 30 days | 10 credits/month on the Free plan |

Where Outscraper is the better fit
- The headline price is dramatically lower: $3 per 1,000 records after the free 500, falling to $1 per 1,000 above 100,000 in a month.
- No subscription at all: pay-as-you-go with prepaid credits that never expire.
- A much wider service catalogue than Maps listings alone (reviews, photos and other Google sources) behind one account and API.
- Parquet export and an API make it a strong fit for data pipelines.
What to weigh up with Outscraper
- The advertised record price is not the whole bill: contacts and verification are separate metered services, so a usable lead costs more than $3 per 1,000 (around $6 with contacts, before verification, at the observed rates).
- Nothing deduplicates overlapping searches across your runs; you own the merge and the re-charge risk.
- There is no review workspace: no saved-row list, suppression handling or per-contact verification evidence trail.
- The free allowance and pricing tiers reset every 30 days.
Where Gmap Data is the better fit
- You are billed for outcomes: 1 credit = 1 business saved, and searches, duplicates and failures are free.
- Place-id deduplication runs before saving, so overlapping searches never double-charge and legitimate branches stay separate.
- Contact evidence is a first-class record: source, quality class, domain match and any verification result, with undeliverable contacts excluded from outreach-ready state.
- Bring-your-own-key enrichment and verification do not consume platform credits.
- A managed workflow: projects, completeness metrics, suppression handling and an append-only credit ledger.
Where Gmap Data loses
- It is roughly 16x more expensive per 1,000 businesses than Outscraper with contacts on the observed prices ($98 per 1,000 across two Lite months versus ~$6 per 1,000 with contacts).
- No public API, and no equivalent of Outscraper's wider Google service catalogue.
- No pay-once credit packs; plans are monthly (credits simply carry over).
When Outscraper is the right choice
- Developers and data teams pulling large volumes who will build their own deduplication and workflow.
- Buyers whose only requirement is the lowest cost per record.
- Workflows that need reviews, photos or other Google sources alongside Maps listings.
When Gmap Data is the right choice
- Teams that want a review-and-export workflow rather than raw records.
- Anyone who would otherwise build deduplication, contact evidence and suppression handling themselves.
- Buyers who already pay for a verification provider and want to keep using it (BYOK).
Questions
Frequently asked questions
Is Outscraper cheaper than Gmap Data?
Yes. On 10 October 2026 Outscraper listed $3 per 1,000 records after the first 500 free, while Gmap Data's entry plan was $49/month for 500 saved businesses. Outscraper is cheaper per unit; Gmap Data charges only for saved rows and bundles deduplication, contact evidence and a review workspace.
Does the $3 per 1,000 records include email addresses?
No. Contacts and email verification are separate Outscraper services with their own metered prices (observed around $3 per 1,000 domains for contacts). Gmap Data includes published-email discovery, and additional enrichment uses provider accounts you connect.
Does Gmap Data have an API?
No. Gmap Data is a managed web app with CSV export; Outscraper publishes an API and that is one reason to choose it.
How are duplicates handled in each tool?
Gmap Data deduplicates by Google place id before saving, so an overlapping search never charges twice. Outscraper returns records per run; merging and de-duplicating across runs is yours to build.
