A Google Maps Chrome extension alternative that runs in the cloud

By Doug Nielsen, Product Manager · Updated · first published

Competitor facts checked: September 2026. Each figure links the page it came from.

There are dozens of Google Maps extractor extensions for Chrome and other browsers, and they all work the same way: they read the results your own browser has already loaded. That makes them fast, cheap and often free — and it also means your list is limited to what one search view can show you, while your laptop stays open. Hubertino does the same job server-side, with emails and socials included from the first free credit.

Pick Hubertino if you…

  • • want jobs to run in the cloud instead of tying up your browser
  • • need a whole city or region, not one search view's worth of results
  • • want emails and socials without paying for a higher plan first
  • • want an API, saved jobs and exports you can rerun

Stick with an extension if you…

  • • only need a handful of businesses from the map you're already looking at
  • • want zero signup and zero cost for tiny, occasional grabs
  • • pull a lot and want a flat fee or a one-time licence: paid extensions start at $9.90 a month billed yearly, or $149 once

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

What's the main limitation of Google Maps scraper extensions?

They can only take what your browser can see. Google's results feed shows roughly 100-120 businesses per search, so that's the ceiling — and because the work happens in your tab, the machine has to stay awake and the job competes with whatever else you're doing.

Do Google Maps extensions give emails?

The paid ones we checked do: all 4 include emails on their paid plans, and Map Lead Scraper's and G Maps Extractor's free plans leave them out (checked September 2026). Emails aren't on the Google Maps listing, so they have to come from each business's own website. Hubertino crawls it server-side, in the same credit, from the first free one.

Are Google Maps extensions safe to use?

That varies a lot by extension, and it's worth checking permissions before installing anything that reads pages you're logged into. Hubertino runs entirely on our servers, so nothing is installed in your browser and nothing touches your Google session.

Is an extension ever good enough?

Often, yes. For twenty nearby businesses to call this afternoon, an extension is quicker and usually free. Hubertino earns its keep when the list is hundreds or thousands of businesses and you need contacts attached.

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.
