Outscraper alternatives, compared honestly

5 ways to get local business datawhen raw rows aren’t enough.

Outscraper is a great scraping API. The catch is that an API gives you rows, not decisions — someone still has to score them, line-type the phones, and scrub the DNC list before anyone dials. Each entry below names who it is for and who it isn’t. LocalVein is first because it’s ours, not because it’s right for everyone.

01

LocalVein

This page

Free preview · Core $179/mo · Growth $379/mo · Pro $899/mo

For agencies who want a scored list, not a raw export.

The intelligence layer Outscraper leaves out. Outscraper hands you rows; LocalVein hands you a ranked call list — a 0–100 Website Opportunity Score per business, live carrier line-typing, federal + state DNC pre-scrub, and one-click GoHighLevel bulk push. Same destinations at the end (CSV, GHL, HubSpot, Instantly, Smartlead), but you skip the engineering project of building scoring on top of raw scrape data.

Best for

US agencies who want to open the tool, pick a city + vertical, and walk away with the 30 best prospects already scored and DNC-clean. No SDK, no scripting, no enrichment pipeline to maintain.

Not for

Developers who want a pay-as-you-go scraping API and prefer to build their own scoring (use Outscraper). Anyone selling outside the US — LocalVein is US-only by design.

02

Outscraper

$3 / 1,000 records (PAYG) · 500 free · $1 / 1,000 above 100K

For developers who want a cheap, flexible scraping API.

The reference Google Maps scraping API. Pay-as-you-go at $3 per 1,000 records ($0.003/record), dropping to $1 per 1,000 above 100K records, with a 500-record free tier. Native Python / Go / Java SDKs, 249-country coverage. Email + contact enrichment are separate paid add-ons — chaining the full stack lands around $14 per 1,000 leads.

Best for

Data-ops and developer teams who want raw rows piped into their own system, global coverage, and the lowest possible per-record cost. You bring the scoring layer.

Not for

Non-technical agency operators who need a finished, sorted list rather than an API. No opportunity score, no line types, no DNC, no agency dashboard — those are yours to build.

03

D7 Lead Finder

$44.99–119.99/mo (3 tiers, inc. tax)

For high-volume raw lookups at a fixed monthly price.

A subscription Google Maps scraper that trades the API for a flat monthly fee and big daily lead caps — roughly 3,500 leads/day on Starter up to 30,000/day on Professional. Returns name, phone, email-where-listed, ratings across Google / Meta / Yelp, and basic site signals. No opportunity scoring, no line-typing, no DNC.

Best for

One-shot, high-volume list pulls where downstream cleanup is acceptable, on a predictable monthly bill instead of metered credits.

Not for

Anyone who values their qualifying time — the raw rows still need dedup, manual scoring, and litigator-phone scrubbing before they are safe to dial.

04

Apify

Free tier · paid plans from ~$39/mo + usage

For engineers who want a full scraping + automation platform.

A general-purpose scraping and browser-automation cloud with a marketplace of pre-built "Actors," including several Google Maps scrapers. More flexible than a single-purpose API, and more setup. Usage-based pricing on top of a monthly platform fee.

Best for

Technical teams already running multi-source scraping who want one platform for Maps plus everything else, with full control over the extraction logic.

Not for

Agency owners who just want scored local prospects. You are buying a platform to build on, not a finished prospect list.

05

LeadSwift

$19.99–79.99/mo (3 tiers)

For solo operators who want discovery + email in one tool.

Real-time local discovery across Google Maps, Yelp, Facebook, LinkedIn and more, bundled with a full email sequencer, A/B testing, sender rotation, and verification. Every plan includes unlimited leads and unlimited outreach; the differentiator is the all-in-one scrape-to-send loop.

Best for

Solo prospectors and lean teams who want one $20–80/mo subscription for find + email + reply, without piping CSVs between tools.

Not for

Agencies who already own an outreach stack (you would pay twice for the email), or anyone who needs an opportunity score, line types, or DNC scrub — LeadSwift skips all three.

How to actually choose

Three questions that decide which one is right for you.

1. Does your team write code?

If yes, Outscraper or Apify give you the cheapest, most flexible primitive — you control the extraction and bolt on your own scoring. If no, an API is a dead end: you’ll pay a developer more than the subscription costs. LocalVein hands a non-technical operator a finished, scored list.

2. Do you need a score, or just the rows?

If raw rows are fine because you already score elsewhere, the cheapest scraper wins — Outscraper or D7. If you want the tool to tell you who is worth calling first, you need the intelligence layer LocalVein adds: opportunity score, line types, and DNC.

3. US-only, or global?

Outscraper covers 249 countries. LocalVein is US-only on purpose — every signal is calibrated against US demographic data, US carrier line-types, and US DNC registries. If you sell internationally, that calibration doesn’t travel; pick Outscraper.
