Outscraper alternatives
Outscraper is a cloud scraping service: you set up a Google Maps task, it collects the listings on its servers, and you download a file or call the API.
It suits people who want any country, large volumes at a low price per record, or data from other sources such as review sites.
Leadz is the simpler fit if you want US local businesses you can filter and export straight away without configuring a job; for anything outside the US, Outscraper is the better tool.

It is not a people database. |

Where Outscraper is the better choice
- You need data from outside the United States. Outscraper scrapes Google Maps worldwide; Leadz is US only.
- You need volume at a low unit price. At $3 per 1,000 records, 10,000 businesses cost about $28.50 after the free 500. Leadz Pro includes 10,000 credits for $69 per month, and Basic includes 1,000 for $39.
- You want the listing as it stands on the day you run the task. A scrape collects it at that moment, whereas Leadz serves records gathered earlier.
- You need more than business listings. Outscraper lists scrapers for Google Maps reviews and photos, Google Search, Yellow Pages, Trustpilot, Tripadvisor and Amazon; Leadz offers business listing data only.
- You are building this into software. Outscraper has an API and Parquet export; Leadz does not offer a public API today.
- You dislike subscriptions. Outscraper has no monthly fee and says prepaid credits never expire, while Leadz credits reset each billing cycle.
Where Leadz fits better
- You do not want to configure anything. There is no task to set up or wait for: open the search, pick a category and a place, and the matching US businesses are already there.
- You want to look before you pay. You can filter and review matches first, and credits are spent only on the leads you unlock or export.
- You want email presence in the same step. Where a business email is on file it is part of the same record and you can filter for it, rather than adding a second enrichment service.
- You want a ranked list rather than a raw dump. Results are ordered by a lead score built from listing signals such as rating, review count and available contact details.
- You prefer a predictable monthly bill for a fixed number of leads, with saved lists to organise them.

Frequently asked questions
Is Outscraper cheaper than Leadz?
Per record, yes at most volumes. Outscraper lists $3 per 1,000 Google Maps records after the first 500 free, with email enrichment as a separate service. Leadz starts at $39 per month for 1,000 credits. Leadz costs more per lead and saves the setup, waiting and enrichment steps.
Do I need technical skills for either?
Neither requires code. Outscraper has a web interface where you define a task and download a file, and an API if you want one. Leadz is a search page with filters and an export button.
Are the emails checked for deliverability?
On Leadz, an email appears where one is on file for the business; that is not a deliverability check, and the share of businesses with an email varies by category. Outscraper lists a separate Email Address Validator service. Either way, validate before a large campaign.
Can I use both?
Yes. Some teams use a ready database for everyday US prospecting and run a scraper when they need another country or a field the database does not carry.
