The short version
lobstr.io's Google Maps Leads Scraper is fast and cheap: 87 fields per business, website emails tagged valid or risky, an API and exports, from $0.50 per 1,000 leads. It doesn't list owner names. loclay costs more per lead and adds the decision maker when the business's site names them, with the page behind every contact.
We make loclay, so we've stuck to what each company publishes, and listed where lobstr.io is the better choice.

What 5,000 leads cost
One month, 5,000 leads with emails, at each company's published prices:
- loclay
- $29 (Starter, 5,000 leads)
- lobstr.io
- About $2.50 at its listed $0.50 per 1,000 leads
lobstr.io is far cheaper per row. Its page doesn't list owner names, so for owner contacts you'd still need a second step.
Where loclay is different: the person behind the business
lobstr.io's page lists business emails and social links, but not who runs the business. loclay's AI reads each business's homepage, contact, about and team pages for the decision maker, and credits a direct email or phone to them only when it's published next to their name.
Every contact in loclay also shows the page it came from, so you can tell the owner's email from the front-desk inbox before you send.
Choose lobstr.io if
You want the most Google Maps data for the lowest price, you're covering whole regions by zipcode, or you're feeding results into your own pipeline through the API or Make.
Choose loclay if
You sell to owners and need their name and direct contact when the business publishes it, with the page behind each contact, without adding a separate enrichment step.
Bottom line
lobstr.io is the cheapest way to get every Google Maps field. loclay is for when you need the owner, not just the business.
