What Outscraper is

Outscraper is a data extraction service. Its Google Maps scraper exports business listings in bulk, with fields like name, address, phone, website, rating and reviews, priced by usage per thousand records after a free monthly allowance. Finding and checking emails are separate services.

Where Outscraper is strong

Large exports of listing data at a low cost per row
An API for developers who process the data themselves
Review data in bulk for analysis

Where it falls short for local businesses

You get rows, not research: who runs each business, what it does and whether it fits are still up to you
Chains, closed businesses and duplicates come along and need cleaning
Contact details beyond the listing, such as emails, cost extra and still need checking
