The short answer

Scrap.io : Also a Google Maps scraper for local prospect lists, but paid plans start at $49/mo against $19/mo here. From $49/mo
LeadSwift : Builds local business lists from Maps data from $19.99/mo and adds outreach tools, where GMaps Lead Finder stops at the export. From $19.99/mo
Apify : General scraping platform from $19/mo with Maps scrapers among many others, more flexible but needs more setup than a paste-your-keywords job. From $19/mo

Why people look past GMaps Lead Finder

Emails come only from each business's own website, so places without a site or without a listed address come back with a blank email, and what you get is usually a generic inbox such as info@ rather than a named hiring manager. The agent API and MCP need the $49/mo Growth plan. The free plan's 500 credits are lifetime, not monthly.

What we noted

Emails are mostly generic company inboxes, not named contacts
MCP and API access need the $49/mo Growth plan
No built-in email verification or outreach sending

Not the right fit for

Sourcing candidates, since it returns businesses rather than people
Teams that need a named decision maker's verified email on every row
Prospecting companies with no local storefront or Maps listing

Worth keeping in mind: Whole city-by-niche keyword grids run as one job and come back as one CSV per keyword, and at $19/mo for 20,000 places it is one of the cheapest ways to get Maps data with emails attached. On the $49/mo Growth plan the same pipeline is available as an MCP server, so Claude or Cursor can pull a list inside a chat.

What each one does differently

Scrap.io

$49/mo MCP API

Why it comes up: Also a Google Maps scraper for local prospect lists, but paid plans start at $49/mo against $19/mo here.

Stands out: MCP and API access come on the entry Basic plan, not only on the top tiers.

Watch out: Export credits reset each month and do not roll over. Wider searches (county, state, country, radius) need higher tiers.

Best for

Agencies building local business prospect lists
Teams calling a maps data API from their own tools
People who want maps searches inside an AI assistant

LeadSwift

$19.99/mo 7 day free trial API

Why it comes up: Builds local business lists from Maps data from $19.99/mo and adds outreach tools, where GMaps Lead Finder stops at the export.

Stands out: Pulls fresh local business data from sources like Google Maps and Yelp at search time, then runs outreach from the same tool.

Watch out: Plans differ only by searches per day: Starter gets 1, Professional 5 and Agency 20. Current prices are early-adopter rates.

Best for

Agencies selling to local businesses
Freelancers prospecting by city and niche
Teams that want leads and cold email in one tool

Apify

$19/mo Free tier MCP API

Why it comes up: General scraping platform from $19/mo with Maps scrapers among many others, more flexible but needs more setup than a paste-your-keywords job.

Stands out: Hosted MCP at mcp.apify.com plus a Store of ready-made Actors, on a prepaid usage meter with overage billed on paid plans.

Watch out: Unused prepaid usage expires each cycle. Usage beyond Starter's $19 is billed on the next invoice, and residential proxy costs extra per GB.

Best for

Builders running scrapers and agents in the cloud
GTM teams buying ready-made Store Actors
Desks that want MCP to search and run Actors
