Outscraper vs Scrap.io

By Doug Nielsen, Product Manager · Updated · first published

Competitor facts checked: September 2026. Figures link the page they came from; other descriptions reflect public information as of July 2026.

Both of these will hand you local-business data, and both are decent at it. The difference is breadth versus focus, and — more consequentially for your card — pay-as-you-go per record versus a monthly subscription sized by lead volume. Outscraper is a broad data catalog that happens to do maps very well. Scrap.io does maps and little else, and prices like a product rather than a meter.

What a month of Google Maps data costs

The same businesses on both, each with the website email lookup on, at three monthly volumes. For more tools side by side, see Outscraper vs Scrap.io vs Apify pricing.

Notes and sources

The month's bill for that many businesses, each with a website email and social lookup. Prices checked September 2026; Outscraper's from an archived copy of its pricing page dated Jun 17, 2026, because its site refuses automated checks.

  1. 1. Outscraper. 500 businesses and 500 email domains free each month, then $3 per 1,000 up to 100,000 and $1 per 1,000 after, for each (outscraper.com/pricing, archived Jun 17, 2026, checked Sep 2026). Emails & Contacts is billed per domain with contacts found (outscraper.com/emails-scraper, archived Jun 17, 2026, checked Sep 2026), and Outscraper doesn't publish how often that is, so we show a range: from 63.5% of businesses (how often we find an email) to 91.6% (how many have their own website), measured on 67,173 businesses in our own runs (harvested July 2026).
  2. 2. Scrap.io. The cheapest plan whose monthly export credits cover the volume: Basic 10,000 for €49, Professional 20,000 for €99, Agency 40,000 for €199, Company 100,000 for €499, or €35–€350 a month billed yearly (scrap.io/pricing, checked Sep 2026). Emails are included; unused credits don't carry over. Euros converted at 1.1367 US dollars per euro (ECB reference rate, Sep 24, 2026) (ecb.europa.eu, checked Sep 2026); Scrap.io doesn't say whether its prices include VAT.
  3. All. The same volume every month, every business with the email lookup, plan credits fully used. Cost per 1,000 businesses compares like for like; cost per 1,000 emails doesn't, because the others don't publish how often they find one.

Choose Outscraper if you…

  • • need more than maps — reviews, marketplaces, company or contact enrichment — and would rather have one vendor and one bill than four subscriptions
  • • use scraping in bursts and don't want to pay a subscription in months you barely touch it
  • • want an API-first service you can wire into your own pipeline, with per-record costs you can forecast from row counts
  • • run occasional very large one-off pulls, where $3 per 1,000 drops to $1 after 100,000 a month

Choose Scrap.io if you…

  • • need Apple Maps or Bing Maps coverage, which Outscraper's Google-centric maps services don't replace
  • • want contact data as part of the product rather than as a stack of separately metered enrichment services — much easier to reason about what a finished list costs
  • • scrape steadily every month, where a flat subscription beats a meter
  • • want a filter-driven lead-building interface rather than a query-and-fetch data service

Disclosure: where Hubertino fits

Disclosure: Hubertino is ours, and it competes most directly with Scrap.io — we do Google Maps lead lists with emails included, at 1 credit per business on a monthly plan or with one-time credit packs. If you need Apple or Bing Maps, or anything beyond maps at all, we don't cover it and one of these two is the better buy. For Google-only lead lists our case is packaging: emails and socials come in the same credit, plan credits roll over for 6 months and one-time packs never expire. More on who runs Hubertino.

Common questions

Is Outscraper cheaper than Scrap.io?

It depends on how much of a Scrap.io plan you'd use. At 10,000 businesses a month with emails, Outscraper comes to about $46.06–$54.48, against €49 on Scrap.io's Basic plan (≈ $55.70), or €35 a month billed yearly (≈ $39.78). At 50,000, Outscraper is about $242.29–$284.38, while Scrap.io documents no top-ups, so that volume needs €499 on Scrap.io's Company plan (≈ $567.21), or €350 a month billed yearly (≈ $397.85) (checked September 2026; Outscraper's from outscraper.com/pricing as archived on June 17, 2026). And a month you don't scrape costs nothing on Outscraper, but a full subscription on Scrap.io.

Which one gives better email coverage?

Both can attach emails to local-business records. The practical difference is packaging rather than quality: on Outscraper enrichment is a separate service you add and pay for per record, and on Scrap.io contact data is part of the lead product. Coverage on either is limited by the same reality — the email has to exist somewhere findable, usually the business's own website, so no tool fills every row.

Which is better for non-developers?

Scrap.io, if maps are all you need — it's a lead-building interface with filters, aimed at agencies and marketers. Outscraper's UI is perfectly usable without code, but the product is a catalog of services, and choosing and combining the right ones is more thinking than a focused tool asks of you.

Do I need Apple and Bing Maps data?

Usually not. Google Maps has by far the deepest local-business coverage in most markets, and the other two mostly return a subset. It matters in specific cases — verifying a listing exists across platforms, or markets and audiences where Apple Maps is used heavily — and if that's you, it's a genuine reason to pick Scrap.io.
