Here is the dirty secret of Google Maps scraper comparisons: they all stop at the data. Outscraper gives you a CSV. Scrap.io gives you a CSV. Apify gives you a CSV. PhantomBuster gives you a CSV. The assumption in every comparison is that once you have the data, you know what to do with it.
For most use cases — market research, academic data collection, competitive intelligence — that assumption is fine. For web design agencies trying to close local business clients, the CSV is just Step 1 of an eight-step workflow. Evaluating scrapers purely on data extraction quality is like evaluating cars purely on horsepower without mentioning whether they have seats.
This comparison evaluates every major Google Maps scraper tool across both dimensions: data extraction capability and workflow coverage. We give credit where it is due on the scraping side, and we are honest about where every tool stops.
The Real Test — What a Google Maps Scraper Needs to Do
If you are a web design agency doing cold outreach to local businesses, here is the complete workflow you need to support:
- Scrape a business category and city from Google Maps
- Filter to no-website businesses only — your pre-qualified prospects
- Sort by review count to prioritise active businesses
- Call each prospect with their specific data as context
- Log every call outcome immediately — Interested, Not Interested, Call Back, No Answer
- Schedule specific callback times with automatic reminders
- Run an AI website audit before the callback
- Generate a branded PDF report with your agency logo
- Close on the callback with evidence
- Scale to a team with shared pipeline and sale verification
The evaluation gap: Every competing comparison rates tools on Steps 1 and 2. This comparison rates them on all ten. For web agencies, a scraper that handles Steps 1–2 flawlessly but nothing after is 20% of the system you need.

Individual Verdicts — What Each Tool Is Actually Good At
Get Map Leads
getmapleads.io · Built exclusively for web design agencies
Get Map Leads is the only tool on this list that is not a generic Google Maps scraper. It is a complete web agency cold outreach system that starts with Google Maps scraping and continues through every step to the closed client and delivered project.
The scraping capability is excellent — Chrome extension that scrapes live listings directly into a pipeline, unlimited results, no CSV required. But the scraping is the entry point, not the product. The product is everything after: the no-website filter, the CRM, the call logging, the follow-up reminders, the AI audit, the branded PDF, the team management.
Strengths
- Only tool with a no-website filter as a pipeline feature
- Chrome extension: live scrape → pipeline, no CSV step
- Built-in CRM with structured call outcome logging
- Automatic follow-up reminders that fire on schedule
- One-click AI website audit (10 seconds)
- Branded PDF with your agency logo, auto-generated
- Sale verification and team leaderboard for scaling
- Agency Operations add-on for project delivery
- 7-day free trial, full Agency access, no credit card
Limitations
- Built only for web design agencies — not a generic scraper
- No developer API for custom data integrations
- Email enrichment is not the primary focus
- Not suited for bulk market research or academic data use
Outscraper
outscraper.com · Cloud-based data extraction platform
Outscraper is a genuinely strong data extraction platform. Its Google Maps scraper is accurate, fast, and covers a wide range of data fields. The built-in email enrichment is one of the best on the market — it visits each business's linked website and extracts email addresses automatically. The pay-as-you-go model keeps costs predictable for variable usage, and the free tier allows meaningful testing before committing.
Where Outscraper stops is precisely where web agencies need the most help. It produces a CSV. What you do with that CSV — how you filter it, call through it, log outcomes, set follow-ups, generate audits, and close deals — is entirely your problem to solve with other tools.
Strengths
- Excellent email enrichment built-in
- Unlimited results (no 120-cap problem)
- Pay-as-you-go: ~$0.002–$0.003 per record
- 500 free records per month
- Wide range of Google data types beyond Maps
- API access for technical integrations
Limitations for Web Agencies
- CSV only — no live pipeline
- No no-website filter as a pipeline feature
- No built-in CRM or call logging
- No follow-up reminders
- No AI website audit
- No branded PDF generator
- Costs scale with volume — no unlimited flat rate
Scrap.io
scrap.io · No-code Google Maps scraper
Scrap.io is the simplest Google Maps scraping interface on the market. Select a business category, select a city, click export. No technical knowledge required. The filtering options are more advanced than most competitors — you can filter by website presence, review count thresholds, and other criteria before exporting, which is the most web-agency-relevant feature in their product.
The critical limitation for web agencies is that all of this filtering happens in the export configuration, not in a live pipeline. You get a filtered CSV rather than a filtered calling queue. And once the CSV is downloaded, Scrap.io's involvement ends. There is no CRM, no call logging, no follow-up system, no audit tool, no PDF generator.
Strengths
- Simplest interface — no technical knowledge needed
- Website presence filter on export
- Unlimited results across all plans
- Built-in email enrichment
- 70+ data columns available
- 100 free leads / 7-day trial
Limitations for Web Agencies
- CSV only — no live pipeline integration
- No built-in CRM
- No call outcome logging
- No automatic follow-up reminders
- No AI website audit
- No branded PDF reports
Apify
apify.com · Developer-focused scraping platform
Apify is the most powerful pure scraping platform on this list. Its Google Maps Scraper Actor extracts a wider range of data fields than any competitor, handles large-scale extraction reliably, and integrates with virtually any downstream system via API. For technical teams building custom data pipelines, Apify is the right choice.
For web agencies, the setup friction is the first barrier — using Apify productively requires comfort with APIs and workflow configuration. The more fundamental issue is the same as every other scraper: Apify produces data and stops. There is no workflow layer, no CRM, no call logging, and no audit capability.
Strengths
- Most powerful extraction capabilities
- Widest field range including deep data
- Excellent API and CRM integration
- $5/month free tier available
- Handles unlimited scale
- Large library of specialised Actors
Limitations for Web Agencies
- Requires technical setup — not no-code
- CSV / API output only — no pipeline
- No no-website filter as pipeline feature
- No CRM, call logging, or follow-up reminders
- No AI audit or branded PDF
- Pay-per-compute — costs can spike at scale
PhantomBuster
phantombuster.com · Social media automation platform
PhantomBuster is primarily a LinkedIn and social media automation platform. Its Google Maps scraper is one of over 100 "Phantoms" — a secondary feature on a platform designed for a different primary use case. For agencies that already use PhantomBuster for LinkedIn outreach and want to add Google Maps scraping without a new tool, it is convenient. As a standalone Maps scraper, it is significantly less efficient than alternatives.
The time-based pricing model is the biggest practical issue for Maps scraping specifically. You pay for execution time regardless of whether it produces useful leads. The 120-result cap per search means multiple Phantom runs are needed to cover a full city search — multiplying both time usage and cost.
Strengths
- Good if you already use it for LinkedIn outreach
- Wide range of social media automation tools
- No-code setup for most Phantoms
- Scheduling and cloud execution
Limitations for Web Agencies
- 120-result cap per Maps scrape
- Time-based pricing — costs accumulate fast
- CSV only — no pipeline
- No no-website filter
- No CRM, call logging, or reminders
- No AI audit or branded PDF
Who Should Use Which Tool
The honest answer depends entirely on what you are trying to accomplish. Here is a direct breakdown by use case.
Web Design Agency Owner
Doing cold outreach to local businesses. Needs leads in a pipeline, not a spreadsheet. Needs to track calls, set follow-ups, and close with evidence.
→ Get Map LeadsMarket Researcher / Data Team
Needs large volumes of structured business data for analysis, competitive intelligence, or academic research. Comfortable with CSVs and APIs.
→ Outscraper or ApifyDeveloper / Technical Team
Building a custom data pipeline. Needs API access, custom field extraction, and integration with proprietary systems. Happy to configure workflows.
→ ApifyLinkedIn + Maps Outreach
Already running LinkedIn sequences via PhantomBuster and wants to add Google Maps extraction without switching platforms. Volume is low.
→ PhantomBusterThe CSV Problem — Why Data Is Not a System
The most important insight in this comparison is not about which tool scrapes better. It is about what scraping alone cannot do.
Every web agency that has tried to run a cold outreach operation using a generic scraper has hit the same wall: the CSV becomes unmanageable within two weeks. You have 300 rows. Some you have called once. Some twice. Some said call me back Thursday — but which Thursday? Some have a bad website that you meant to audit before calling back. None of this information is in the CSV.
The hidden cost of the CSV workflow: A web agency making 50 calls per week loses an estimated 30–40% of warm leads to missed follow-ups and lost context within the first month of operation. The scraper cost is a rounding error compared to the revenue lost through a broken workflow.
The tools that stop at the CSV are not bad tools. They are the right tools for use cases where data collection is the end goal. For web agencies, data collection is the beginning. The question is whether your scraper helps you finish what it starts.
The Verdict
If you are a web design or web development agency doing cold outreach to local businesses, Get Map Leads is the only tool on this list built for your workflow. Every other option requires you to build or buy the remaining 80% of the system yourself.
If you are not a web agency — if you need raw data at scale, API access, developer flexibility, or generic lead generation across multiple outreach channels — then Outscraper or Apify are the strongest options depending on your technical comfort level.
Summary: For bulk data extraction → Outscraper. For developer pipelines → Apify. For simple no-code extraction → Scrap.io. For LinkedIn + Maps → PhantomBuster. For web design agencies doing cold outreach end-to-end → Get Map Leads.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best Google Maps scraper for lead generation in 2026?
The best Google Maps scraper depends on your workflow. For raw data extraction at scale, Outscraper is the most capable and cost-efficient tool. For web design agencies doing cold outreach, Get Map Leads is the only scraper that also includes a no-website filter, built-in CRM, call outcome logging, automatic follow-up reminders, AI website audits, and branded PDF reports — covering the complete workflow from scraping to closing clients, not just the data extraction step.
What is the difference between Outscraper and Get Map Leads?
Outscraper is a data extraction platform. It scrapes Google Maps listings, enriches them with email addresses, and exports to CSV. It stops at the data. Get Map Leads is a complete web agency outreach system that includes a no-website filter, built-in CRM pipeline, call outcome logging, automatic follow-up reminders, AI website audits, and branded PDF reports. For web design agencies, Get Map Leads covers everything Outscraper covers plus every step between data and closed client.
Does Scrap.io have a no-website filter?
Scrap.io allows filtering by whether a business has a website listed on their profile, but this is a CSV export filter rather than a live pipeline feature. In Get Map Leads, the no-website filter is a one-click pipeline toggle that instantly surfaces pre-qualified prospects in your live calling queue, integrated with call logging, follow-up reminders, and AI audits — all without any CSV export or import step.
Is Apify good for Google Maps lead generation for web agencies?
Apify is a powerful developer tool for Google Maps data extraction. It handles large volumes, supports custom data fields, and integrates with CRMs via API. However, it requires technical setup and produces raw data — there is no no-website filter, no built-in CRM, no call logging, no follow-up reminders, and no AI audit tool. For web agencies, Apify handles Step 1 of the workflow and requires additional tools for every subsequent step.
How much does Google Maps scraping cost?
Pricing varies by model: Outscraper charges approximately $0.002 to $0.003 per record on a pay-as-you-go basis. Scrap.io subscription pricing starts around $49/month. Apify has a $5/month free tier and pay-as-you-go compute credits. PhantomBuster starts at $69/month based on execution time. Get Map Leads starts at $59/month with unlimited scraping on the Agency plan — scraping is included in the platform, not priced per record.
Which Google Maps scraper is best for web design agencies specifically?
Get Map Leads is the only Google Maps scraper built specifically for web design agencies. It is the only tool that combines Google Maps scraping with a no-website filter, review count sorting, built-in cold outreach CRM, call outcome logging, automatic follow-up reminders, AI website audit, and branded PDF report generation. Every other scraper is a generic data tool that requires separate platforms for each of these steps.
What data does a Google Maps scraper extract?
A Google Maps scraper extracts: business name, phone number, full address, Google star rating, review count, business category, operating hours, and website URL — or the absence of a website URL, which is the most important data point for web design agencies. Some tools also offer secondary enrichment by visiting the linked website to extract email addresses and social media profiles.
