ScrapeField vs Outscraper
Outscraper is the Google Maps specialist: places, reviews and photos, and a dozen other Google products and review sites, priced per record. We do Google Maps and four social platforms, priced per call. For a list of places, that makes us much cheaper.
| ScrapeField | Outscraper | |
|---|---|---|
| How it bills | Credits per call, in packs from $39; they never expire | Per record, in tiers that reset every 30 days; prepaid credits never expire |
| 1,000 places from a search | About $0.12 → $0.07, at 20 a call | $3.00, or $1.00 past 100,000 in 30 days |
| 1,000 reviews | About $0.24 → $0.13, at up to 20 a call | $3.00, or $1.00 past 100,000 in 30 days |
| 1,000 photos | About $0.16 → $0.09, at 20 a call | $2.00, or $1.00 past 50,000 in 30 days |
| Free to try | 2,000 credits once, and a demo with no account at all | The first 500 of each every 30 days; a card before any use |
| How results arrive | In the answer to each call | A task you poll or get a webhook for, by default; a direct mode for small calls; file exports |
| Contacts from websites, other Google products, review sites | No | Yes |
| LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, X | All four, each documented, with a price per call | Some in the API, no Instagram, and no published price |
| A place’s fields | Named after Google’s Places API, every field documented | Outscraper’s own names |

A places search
curl "https://api.outscraper.cloud/google-maps-search?query=restaurants%2C%20Manhattan%2C%20NY%2C%20USA&limit=20&async=false" \
-H "X-API-KEY: $OUTSCRAPER_KEY"curl "https://api.scrapefield.com/v1/google-maps/places?query=restaurants%20in%20Manhattan%2C%20NY" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $SCRAPEFIELD_KEY"The same place, renamed after Google’s own API: full_address is formatted_address, latitude and longitude are location.lat and location.lng, reviews is user_ratings_total, phone is formatted_phone_number, site is website, and working_hours is opening_hours. place_id, name, rating and business_status keep their names.
Two differences. A call answers with up to 20 places and meta.next_cursor for the next 20, where Outscraper takes up to 500 in one task. And the answer comes back in the call, with no task to poll. Every field is in the schema.
Questions
Is Outscraper cheaper?
Not for a list of places, reviews or photos: ours cost a few cents per 1,000, theirs $1 to $3 past the free 500. If you need fewer than 500 of each a month, their free tier costs nothing.
Can I get emails for Google Maps businesses here?
No. Google Maps lists no emails. Outscraper finds them on each business’s website with a separate product; we do not. A place’s website is where to start.
