A Bright Data alternative for people who want leads

By Doug Nielsen, Product Manager · Updated · first published

Bright Data is the heavyweight of the industry — proxy networks, a Google Maps Scraper API, prebuilt datasets, serious infrastructure and compliance behind it. It's an excellent choice if you're building a data pipeline. It's a lot of platform if what you want is a spreadsheet of plumbers in Houston with emails attached, which is the only thing Hubertino does.

Pick Hubertino if you…

  • • want a finished lead list, not an API response to post-process
  • • don't want to think about proxies, zones, or delivery buckets
  • • want emails + social profiles dug from each business's website at no extra cost
  • • want to start free without a sales conversation or a scale plan

Choose Bright Data if you…

  • • need very large-scale, ongoing collection with SLAs and compliance paperwork
  • • want many sources and dataset products, not only Google Maps
  • • have engineers who want proxy control and raw API/dataset delivery

What using Hubertino looks like

Here's how Hubertino's Google Maps scraper works:

  1. 1. Describe the hunt. Type a business category (“dentist”, “roofing contractor”, anything) and pick locations — whole countries, states, cities or zip codes from the built-in picker.
  2. 2. Watch it fill. Results stream into a live table as they're found: phone, website, then the email and socials dug from each business's site.
  3. 3. Export and go. Download XLSX/CSV — one business per row — or pull it via the API. You're only charged for what was actually delivered.

Questions

Is Hubertino a Bright Data competitor?

Not really — they overlap only on Google Maps. Bright Data sells scraping infrastructure (proxies, scraper APIs, datasets) to technical teams. Hubertino sells finished local-business lead lists to the people who send the outreach. Different buyers, different job.

Which is cheaper for Google Maps leads?

It depends on volume and what you count. Bright Data bills per record and gets cheaper at large scale; check which contact fields the product you'd buy includes. Hubertino's 1-credit-per-business price already includes the website crawl for emails and social profiles, and unused reservations refund automatically.

Do I need to manage proxies with Hubertino?

No. There are no proxies, zones, or concurrency settings — you pick a category and locations and results stream into the table.

Does Hubertino have an API?

Yes — a REST API with an OpenAPI spec (create a scrape, poll status, fetch results, export files; Bearer-key auth), on every plan, plus free n8n templates that send leads to Google Sheets or HubSpot.
