Why teams look for a Map Scraper alternative

Extensions are great for live Maps tabs. Teams leave when they need unattended bulk jobs, shared agent credits, or a productized Online workspace.

  • Cloud Online jobs

    Map Scraper centers on the extension. We run keyword batches Online without keeping a browser open.

  • Agent / API

    Growth+ MCP and HTTP spend the same Online credits as the web UI—no separate scraper host.

  • Free vs Pro packing

    Their free tier caps ~30 businesses per run; Pro unlocks unlimited. Compare that to our free lifetime credits + $19 Starter.

As of research (map-scraper.com): Free—no registration, ~30 businesses per run, Excel/CSV, community support. Monthly Pro $25/mo or annual ~$19/mo ($228/yr) for unlimited volume, emails/phones/socials, priority support. Free companion tools: Google Maps Leads Generator (view-only) and Bing Maps Scraper (limited). 7-day money-back on paid.
