The best Google Maps scrapers in 2026.

The Google Maps scrapers people actually shortlist, compared on what the phone field contains, where the checking happens, what a run costs and how much setup it takes. We build one of them and say so; the incumbents win on raw volume and on breadth of data, and this says where.

We build Leadity, and yes - we put ourselves #1, so read this the way you would read any vendor's list. What we think earns it: the filters run inside the scrape, so a number that is not the line type you ordered is never delivered and never charged, and the price is per delivered lead rather than per row plus add-ons. The incumbents win on raw volume, on breadth of data types and on developer flexibility, and for a data pipeline that is usually the deciding factor. Here is the field, top to bottom.

The ranking, explained.

#1

LeadityUS & Canada

Best for cold callers & SMS outreach

Live Google Maps scraping with the filters running inside the scrape: every number is checked against the carrier's own thousand-block record as it is found, and a lead that fails the line type you ordered is never delivered and never charged. No code - pick a niche and an area in the browser and export a CSV. From $0.016/lead for a validated mobile.

Watch-out: A newer name than the incumbents, US and Canada only, with fewer raw filters and fewer data types than a general-purpose scraper. If you want every field Google holds, or a pipeline you control end to end, that is a real reason to pick one of the others.

#2

Outscraper

Best for bulk raw data

A strong commercial scraper that pulls thousands of Google Maps rows fast, with many export fields and pay-as-you-go pricing.

Watch-out: You take the listing's own number and decide what it is afterwards: contact enrichment and email verification are add-ons priced per use, and the bill grows with the fields you turn on. Google itself answers a search with neighbouring businesses, so a niche sweep needs cleaning either way.

#3

Apify

Best for developers

A marketplace Google Maps actor with deep configuration and a full API - flexible for custom data pipelines and large extractions.

Watch-out: Needs setup and code, and returns the listing's own number whatever line it is; enrichment and verification are separate actors and add-ons priced per use. Google itself answers a search with neighbouring businesses, so a niche sweep needs cleaning either way.

#4

A free Chrome extension

Best for tiny one-off pulls

In-browser extensions grab listing data with one click and cost little or nothing - handy for grabbing a handful of businesses.

Watch-out: Volume is limited, the number is whatever the listing shows, and some of the popular ones actually scrape Bing's map rather than Google's.

#5

Open-source CLI tools (GitHub)

Best for self-hosting developers

Free, powerful command-line scrapers you run yourself - full control if you can write and maintain code.

Watch-out: No support, the number is whatever the listing shows, and you own the upkeep, the blocking issues and the compliance work yourself.

#6

Broad business-data platforms

Best for broad global lists

Large multi-source business-data tools that pull generic company info across many countries and categories.

Watch-out: Not US-owner-focused, mobile coverage on local small businesses is thin, and pricing is typically per seat per year.

How to choose.

You write code / build pipelines

Use Apify or an open-source CLI for raw, configurable extraction at scale.

You need bulk rows across many fields

Outscraper's pay-as-you-go export is built for that - budget for the enrichment you turn on.

You cold-call or SMS the owner

Leadity: order a line type and only numbers of that type are delivered and billed, checked during the scrape.

You only need a handful

A free Chrome extension is fine for a quick one-off list off the map in front of you.

Our methodology.

We compared the options on the things that decide whether a scrape turns into a booked call: what the phone field actually contains, where the checking happens, how fresh the data is, whether you can isolate businesses with no website, and how much setup it takes. We named the two commercial scrapers buyers ask us about most - Outscraper and Apify - and described the other categories generically. We put ourselves first on one thing: the filters run inside the scrape, so you pay for the leads that passed them and not for the rows you would have thrown away. Read that the way you would read any vendor's list, check each product's own documentation, and note that pricing is directional and changes.

Google Maps scraper FAQ.

  • For cold calling and SMS outreach, Leadity: you order a line type and pay only for the leads that are it. For raw bulk data, many data types or a pipeline you control, Outscraper or Apify - and a free Chrome extension covers a quick one-off.

  • Leadity checks every number it scrapes against the carrier's own thousand-block record during the scrape, and a number that fails the line type you ordered is never delivered and never charged. The developer tools return the listing's published number and sell enrichment and verification as add-ons you pay for per use - a different shape, and for a data pipeline often the better one. What our own measurement says about the raw numbers: 46.9% of them are mobiles.

  • Open-source CLI tools and free Chrome extensions are cheapest up front, but you pay in setup, upkeep and numbers nobody has checked. Per usable mobile, a flat per-lead price (from $0.016) can come out cheaper than raw rows priced per thousand, because the rows you would throw away are never billed.

  • Collecting publicly listed business data is widely practiced. The care is in what you do next - calling and texting US numbers is governed by the TCPA. Run the free TCPA risk checker before you dial; it is a checklist, not legal advice.

Want the owner's mobile, not a landline?

Pick a niche and a US area, flip on the no-website filter, and run a live Google Maps scrape for carrier-verified mobiles - from $0.016/lead.
