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.
| Outscraper | Scrap.io | |
|---|---|---|
| What it's built for | A broad catalog of data services — maps, reviews, marketplaces, company and contact enrichment | Local-business lead extraction from map platforms, and specifically that |
| Map sources | Google Maps plus other directories and review sites in its catalog | Google Maps, Apple Maps and Bing Maps |
| Emails & socials | Available, but billed as separate enrichment services on top of the base scrape — the headline per-record rate is not what a contact-complete list costs | Contact extraction is part of the lead product rather than a separately metered service |
| Pricing model | Pay-as-you-go per record with no mandatory subscription; volume tiers and prepaid packs lower the rate, and each enrichment meters on its own | Monthly subscription with tiers sized by lead volume |
| Cost when usage is bursty | Suits it well — you pay for the month you actually scraped and nothing for the month you didn't | Less forgiving — a quiet month still costs a full subscription |
| Free start | Limited free tier on the base scrape | Time-limited trial capped at a small number of leads |
| Targeting & filters | Query-driven, with the API exposing the parameters | Filter-led interface built for lead selection — category, geography, and listing attributes |
| Technical skill required | Low in the UI; comfortable for developers via the API | Low — designed for marketers and agencies end to end |
| Sources beyond maps | Yes — a substantial catalog | No, by design |
| Export & API | REST API, XLSX / CSV / JSON, async jobs | REST API plus spreadsheet exports and integrations |
Disclosure: Hubertino is ours, and it competes most directly with Scrap.io — we do Google Maps lead lists with emails included, priced per result. 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. Where we'd argue for ourselves is the narrow case of Google-only lead lists bought without a subscription; that's a real but small slice of what these two do.
The deciding factor is how regularly you scrape, not the rates. Pay-as-you-go per record means a month you don't use costs nothing, so it suits bursty or project-based work. A subscription is usually the better deal once you're pulling a meaningful volume every single month. Do compare like for like: Outscraper's base per-record rate covers the listing, and emails or phone validation are additional services, so price the complete list rather than the headline number.
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.
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.
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.
