The go-to tool for scraping Google Maps business data at scale, recommended repeatedly in Reddit communities for local business lead generation. Per-search pricing makes it cost-effective for targeted list building without the rate-limit headaches of DIY scraping.
For anyone who needs to find and list local businesses — not build a directory — Outscraper is the community's clear favorite. It handles Google Maps rate limits better than PhantomBuster and gives you cleaner data than Apify for local SMBs.
“For local SMBs, Outscraper is probably your best bet - they handle Google Maps rate limits better than PhantomBuster and the per-search pricing makes more sense when you're building targeted lists vs. blasting thousands.”
