GMaps Lead Finder vs Scrap.io

Same facts, side by side: starting price, free tier, MCP, API and what each one is actually built for.

Starting price

GMaps Lead Finder

$19/mo Free tier

Google Maps scraper that turns a list of business-type and city keywords into local business leads with phone, website, rating and any email or social profile the business publishes on its own site. Free plan with 500 lifetime credits, paid from $19/mo for 20,000 places. Best for agency recruiters building local employer lists for business development, not for finding candidates.

Where GMaps Lead Finder fits

  • Agency recruiters building lists of local employers by city and industry for business development
  • Healthcare and trades staffing firms prospecting clinics, contractors or dealerships across several metros
  • Recruiters who already work in Claude or Cursor and want Maps leads pulled from the chat

Scrap.io

$49/mo

Google Maps business data export with API and MCP access on every plan. Basic is $49/mo billed monthly, or $35/mo billed yearly.

Where Scrap.io fits

  • 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
  • Sellers targeting shops, clinics and trades by city

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

Scrap.io

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.

Not the right fit for

  • Teams that need named people and work emails
  • Buyers who want unused credits to carry over

Pros and cons

GMaps Lead Finder

  • Low entry price: $19/mo for 20,000 places, or $15 one-time for 10,000
  • One CSV per keyword keeps city and niche lists separate
  • Blank cells instead of guessed emails, so lists are cleaner to send to
  • 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

Scrap.io

  • API and MCP access on every plan
  • Reverse search and file enrichment included
  • Clear yearly discount on all tiers
  • Credits reset monthly, no rollover
  • Radius and wide-area search need higher tiers
  • Places data, not people or work emails
