Outscraper
Google Maps scraping as a pay-as-you-go API: 500 places free, then pay only for the rows you pull.
About
Outscraper is a US-based cloud service specializing in Google Maps data extraction, in the market since 2019. You submit a query (category plus city, ZIP, or place URL) through the web UI or the API, and it returns structured business listings: names, addresses, ratings, review counts, hours, plus optional enrichments like emails, phone numbers, and social links scraped from linked business websites. Exports come in CSV, Excel, JSON, or Parquet, and the API supports bulk queries, webhooks, and CRM integrations.
Pricing is strictly pay-as-you-go with no monthly fee: the first 500 places are free every month, then $3 per 1,000 records up to 100,000, and $1 per 1,000 beyond that. Email enrichment is a separate billable add-on, so budget it separately. Independent 2026 roundups rate its Maps data quality among the best, particularly for US businesses, and note the grid search that bypasses Google's 120-result display cap. It is a US entity with USD-only billing, which creates VAT friction for European buyers. Beyond Maps, Outscraper offers related scrapers for Google Search, reviews, and places data.

Trust score — 7/10
Scored 7/10 (metrics tier, metrics-v1). Evidence: outscraper.com documents the free tier and per-record pricing; independent 2026 roundups corroborate the pricing, the 2019 market entry, and the top-tier data quality rating for Maps extraction. Strengths: genuinely pay-as-you-go with no subscription, generous free tier, strong independent reviews of data quality. Docked for: (1) email enrichment is a separate paid add-on, so headline pricing understates real cost; (2) USD-only billing with no EU VAT invoices; (3) pay-per-record punishes queries that return more results than expected.
