An Outscraper alternative that runs on your computer
Outscraper is a well-known cloud service for Google Maps data. You pay for the records you collect. EverScrape is a different idea: a desktop app for Windows and Mac that collects Google Maps listings on your own computer, so there is no per-lead fee. Which one is better depends on how you work.
The short version
| EverScrape | Outscraper (Google Maps scraper) | |
|---|---|---|
| Where it runs | On your computer (Windows, Mac) | In their cloud, you use a website or API |
| How you pay | $400 once, or $550 in total over 9 monthly payments, then it is yours | Pay as you go: first 500 businesses free, $3 per 1,000 records (501 to 100,000), $1 per 1,000 above that |
| Phone line type (mobile / landline / VoIP) | Included for every lead, estimated from official numbering records | Not listed on the Google Maps scraper page. A separate Phone Number Lookup is sold at $5 per 1,000 phones (first 25 free) |
| Your lead lists | Stored only on your computer | Stored in your account in their cloud |
| Countries | US, Canada, UK, Australia | Worldwide |
| API for developers | No | Yes |
| Free trial | 1,000 validated leads, no card | First 500 businesses |
When Outscraper is the better choice
- You need data outside the US, Canada, UK and Australia.
- You need an API or want to run scrapes from your own code.
- You only need a few thousand leads once. At $3 per 1,000 that is a few dollars.
When EverScrape is the better choice
- You collect leads all the time, for many niches and cities. With a per-record price the bill grows with every search; with EverScrape it does not.
- You call or text local businesses and want to keep only the mobile numbers. The line type is already in your list, in the same app.
- You don't want your lead lists stored on someone else's servers.
Where is the break-even?
On Outscraper's published prices, 100,000 businesses cost about $300 (the first 500 are free, the rest is $3 per 1,000). EverScrape's lifetime price is $400, which equals about 200,000 leads on their price list. So if you expect to collect more than that in total, EverScrape is cheaper. Below that, Outscraper is cheaper for the scraping itself. If you also need to check phone numbers, add the cost of a separate lookup on Outscraper's side. We wrote a longer calculation in Google Maps scraper cost per lead.
What EverScrape cannot do
It does not give you an API, it does not cover countries outside the four above, and the phone line type is an estimate based on who a number was assigned to, not a live carrier lookup. A number that was moved between carriers can be wrong. We explain the method and its limit on the How it works page.
Questions
Is EverScrape cheaper than Outscraper?
It depends on how many leads you collect. Outscraper's Google Maps scraper is cheaper for small jobs: the first 500 businesses are free and then it costs $3 per 1,000. EverScrape costs $400 once (or $550 over 9 monthly payments) and has no per-lead fee, so it becomes cheaper when you collect a lot of leads over time.
Does EverScrape need an API key or a cloud account?
No. The app runs on your own Windows or Mac computer and uses your own internet connection. You only need a license key from us.
Can I try EverScrape before paying?
Yes. The free trial gives you 1,000 validated leads. You enter an e-mail, no card.
