The short answer

GMaps Lead Finder : GMaps Lead Finder starts lower at $19/mo for 20,000 places but its free credits are lifetime and its MCP needs the $49 plan. From $19/mo
Scrap.io : Scrap.io is an established Google Maps scraper for local prospect lists with a named company behind it. From $49/mo
Apify : Apify is a general scraping platform with Maps scrapers among many others, more flexible but more setup. From $19/mo

Why people look past GMapsScraper.ai

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.

What we noted

No company named on the site
Emails mostly generic inboxes
API billed apart from 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

Worth keeping in mind: 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.

What each one does differently

GMaps Lead Finder

$19/mo Free tier MCP API

Why it comes up: GMaps Lead Finder starts lower at $19/mo for 20,000 places but its free credits are lifetime and its MCP needs the $49 plan.

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.

Best for

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 MCP API

Why it comes up: Scrap.io is an established Google Maps scraper for local prospect lists with a named company behind it.

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

Apify

$19/mo Free tier MCP API

Why it comes up: Apify is a general scraping platform with Maps scrapers among many others, more flexible but more setup.

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
