The short answer
Short answer: Scrap.io and Gmap Data are the closest pair in this set - both sell a flat monthly plan for a Maps lead workflow rather than metered records. Scrap.io starts cheaper ($35/month billed yearly) and includes file enrichment; Gmap Data charges only for saved, deduplicated businesses, carries credits over and includes contact evidence. The choice comes down to search granularity, credit expiry and what happens when a search overlaps another.

| Dimension | Scrap.io | Gmap Data |
|---|---|---|

Where Scrap.io is the better fit
- The cheapest entry in this comparison set if you commit yearly: $35/month for 10,000 export credits.
- File enrichment is included on every tier, which is genuinely useful for cleaning an existing list.
- API and MCP access are included even on the cheapest plan.
- Reverse search (start from a phone number, email or website) is a workflow Gmap Data does not have.
- Search granularity scales with the plan, from city up to whole-country and polygon areas.
What to weigh up with Scrap.io
- Export credits do not carry over and reset each month, so quiet months lose value.
- The whole-country search that Gmap Data includes is locked to the $350/month Company plan here.
- Each place can be exported once per 30 days, so re-exporting your own list within a month consumes from the same pool.
- Contact emails are not the product's core focus; verification evidence is not part of the record.
Where Gmap Data is the better fit
- Credits carry over month to month - a quiet month is not lost spend.
- Deduplication by place id happens before saving, so overlapping searches never double-charge.
- Contact evidence (source, quality class, verification result) is attached to every discovered email.
- Whole-country campaigns for Malaysia, Indonesia and Vietnam are a product feature, not a top-tier unlock.
- A review workspace with projects, completeness metrics, suppression handling and an append-only credit ledger.
Where Gmap Data loses
- It is roughly 28x more expensive per 1,000 businesses on the observed prices ($98 per 1,000 across two Lite months versus $35/month for 10,000 credits on Basic).
- No file enrichment and no reverse search.
- No API or MCP server; CSV export only.
- Entry price is $49/month, above Scrap.io's $35/month yearly rate.
When Scrap.io is the right choice
- Teams that will use the 10,000+ monthly credits and can commit to yearly billing.
- Anyone who needs file enrichment or reverse search on an existing list.
- Developers who want API/MCP access without a higher tier.
When Gmap Data is the right choice
- Teams whose monthly volume fluctuates and who value credit carry-over.
- Buyers who need contact evidence and deduplication more than raw export volume.
- Operators running country campaigns in Malaysia, Indonesia or Vietnam.
