Outscraper vs ScrapeCreators (and is ScrapeField better?)
Outscraper is a Google Maps specialist: places, reviews and photos, plus other Google products and review sites. ScrapeCreators is a social-media API for about 38 platforms. Here is how they differ, when to choose which, and where ScrapeField fits.
| Outscraper | ScrapeCreators | ScrapeField | |
|---|---|---|---|
| What it is | A Google Maps specialist: places, reviews and photos, plus other Google products and review sites | A social-media API for about 38 platforms | An API for five platforms, Google Maps, LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok and X |
| What it covers | Google Maps, Google Search, Shopping and Play, about 25 review sites, and contacts from businesses’ own websites | About 38 platforms, from YouTube to Telegram, five ad libraries and transcripts; not Google Maps | Google Maps, LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok and X: 45 endpoints |
| How you use it | An API with tasks you poll or a webhook, a no-code app, and file exports | An API, an MCP server and a CLI | From code, an agent or the MCP server: one GET returns the answer |
| How it bills | Per record, in tiers that reset every 30 days: $3.00 per 1,000 places, $1.00 past 100,000 | Credits, most calls one: $1.88 per 1,000 on its $47 pack, $0.99 on its $497 pack | Credits per call, in packs from $39; they never expire |
| Free to try | The first 500 places, reviews and photos every 30 days; a card before any use | The first 100 credits, no card | 2,000 credits once, and a demo with no account at all |
| Needs your login | No | No | Never: no login, cookie or session of yours, for any reason |
| What you get back | Outscraper’s own field names; Excel, CSV or Parquet | Each platform’s own JSON, shown by example; no response schema | One documented schema per platform, named after its official API |

Which to choose
Choose Outscraper if you want emails and contacts from businesses’ own websites, other Google products or review sites beside Maps, or a spreadsheet without code.
Choose ScrapeCreators if you need a platform beyond Google Maps, LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok and X, such as YouTube, Reddit or Threads, or the lowest price per social profile.

Only for one job. Choose ScrapeField if you need Google Maps, LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok or X data in your code, at a price per call you can multiply, without lending us an account. For anything else, choose Outscraper or ScrapeCreators as above.
