The short version
Outscraper charges $3 per 1,000 Google Maps records after 500 free ($1 per 1,000 past 100,000), plus about $3 per 1,000 for emails and contacts, with phone checks extra. It's a pay-as-you-go platform with an API and every Google field you could want. loclay is one search that returns the business, its published emails and phones, and the decision maker when the site names one, each with its source.
We make loclay, so we've stuck to what each company publishes, and listed where Outscraper is the better choice.

What Outscraper is best at
Outscraper's Google Maps scraper is part of a data extraction platform. It's the stronger choice when you need:
- Large volumes of raw Google Maps data, getting cheaper past 100,000 records
- Google-native fields: place IDs, coordinates, categories, photos, reviews, hours and popular times
- Exports as CSV, Excel, Parquet or JSON, and an API for your own pipeline
- Pay-as-you-go billing with no subscription, and 500 records free
What 5,000 leads cost
One month, 5,000 leads with emails, at each company's published prices:
- loclay
- $29 (Starter, everything included)
- Outscraper
- About $28: $13.50 for 4,500 records after the 500 free, plus about $15 for emails & contacts
Close to the same. Outscraper's phone checks cost extra, and it gets cheaper per record above 100,000 ($1 per 1,000).
One search vs a pipeline you assemble
Outscraper sells each step separately: scrape the Maps listings, then run email and contact enrichment, then phone checks if you want them. That's flexible, but you build the workflow and clean up the joins yourself.
loclay does it in one search. Pick a business type and cities, and each lead comes back with its Maps listing, every email and social published on its website, and the decision maker when the site names one.
Knowing which contacts are real
Every contact in loclay says where it was found, and each lead lists the pages the AI read. No email is ever built from a name-and-domain pattern. Outscraper's pages don't say whether enriched contacts carry their source.
Choose Outscraper if
You're building a directory, a dataset or an analytics workflow; you need reviews, photos or popular times; or you already run your own enrichment and CRM pipeline and want the cheapest raw records.
Choose loclay if
Your goal is a contact list, not a dataset: you want the owner and their published email in one step, without wiring enrichment tasks together or cleaning up the result.
Bottom line
Outscraper is the better raw Google Maps data source. loclay is the faster way to a list of people you can actually contact.
