Where they pull apart

GMaps Lead Finder

Stands out: 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.

Watch out: 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.

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

GMapsScraper.ai

Stands out: The free plan renews 1,000 places every month instead of giving a one time allowance, and its MCP server lets Claude or Cursor run Maps searches from a chat without a paid scraper plan.

Watch out: The site names no company behind the product, so check data handling yourself before relying on it. Emails appear only where available and are usually generic company inboxes, and the API and MCP are billed separately from scraper credits.

Not the right fit for

  • Sourcing candidates, since it returns businesses rather than people
  • Teams that need a named decision maker's verified email
  • Buyers who want an established, named vendor

Pros and cons

GMaps Lead Finder

  • Low entry price: $19/mo for 20,000 places, or $15 one-time for 10,000

  • 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

  • 1,000 free places every month
  • $29/mo for 50,000 places
