A PhantomBuster alternative built for Google Maps

By Doug Nielsen, Product Manager · Updated · first published

PhantomBuster is a multi-channel automation toolkit — LinkedIn first, with Google Maps as one 'Phantom' among many — priced by how many hours your automations run. If Maps lead lists are your actual goal, paying by runtime rather than by list is an awkward fit. Hubertino is Maps-specialized and priced by results.

Pick Hubertino if you…

  • • want Google Maps lead lists as the specialty, not one of many phantoms
  • • prefer paying per result delivered over paying for execution time
  • • want to know what a list costs before you scrape: credits are reserved up front and unused ones refund
  • • want emails + socials included in the per-result price

Choose PhantomBuster if you…

  • • run multi-channel outreach (LinkedIn, Twitter/X, and more)
  • • want a broad automation toolkit with many prebuilt phantoms
  • • already build sequences/flows inside its platform

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 good PhantomBuster alternative for Google Maps?

If Google Maps lead lists are the goal, yes — it's purpose-built for that and prices by businesses delivered rather than execution hours. PhantomBuster shines when Maps is one step in a broader, LinkedIn-centric automation workflow.

Why does pay-by-results matter?

PhantomBuster sizes its plans by the time your automations run, so what a list costs depends on how long it takes to collect. Hubertino charges 1 credit per business actually delivered, you can see the price before you start, and you can top up anytime.

Does Hubertino do LinkedIn?

It doesn't automate LinkedIn: Hubertino starts from Google Maps (business listings and reviews). On Starter and Pro, the paid decision-maker add-on adds owners' and other top executives' LinkedIn profile links to a Maps list. For connection requests and LinkedIn sequences, PhantomBuster or a dedicated LinkedIn tool is the right choice.

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.
