The best alternative to Outscraper
Outscraper is a specialized data extraction provider offering ready-to-use APIs for platforms like Google Maps, Google Search, and Amazon. But how do its targeted scraping solutions compare to Apify's full-stack web scraping platform?
““Other tools we tested charged us for time, and some of their tools were not that efficient. Apify is much faster and more cost-effective.” ”
Juliano Nassar
Product Owner
“With Apify, in 30 seconds, I had the data that I’d been trying to get for weeks. ”
Ashley Copp
Solopreneur
“I couldn't be more excited. I wish I could write JavaScript, but thanks to low-code and no-code flowgramming, it's unbelievable.”
Jon Jones
Head of Marketing at Custom Creative
“We've been using Apify Google Maps scraper for many clients and there hasn't been any kind of problems. It works very, very smooth. It was flawless. It's been a great help for us and many of our clients.”
Nikhil Kshettri
Project Manager at Parsedom
“If Apify disappeared, I’d have to build my own scrapers and handle server hosting myself. Apify’s handling of these aspects is invaluable.”
Tom Hall
Founder
“We looked at several providers both open source and paid solutions, and Apify was the most complete, reliable solution we found. It was miles ahead of everything else we reviewed.”
Pranav Singh
Engineering Manager
“The developer's swiss army knife. What I absolutely love about Apify is the community and ecosystem around it. Apify Store is a treasure trove of pre-built Actors that save you a ton of time. It's like having a team of experts contributing to your project.”
Jiri Novak
Engineer
“Apify has helped our organization in building some of the best tools for our customers. Apify services allow for consistency - prior we ran everything on our own infrastructure and it was a nightmare. Thanks to Apify - all of our crawlers run smoothly and we don’t have to worry about the infrastructure or the proxies.”
Steven Pignataro
Co-CEO
“We selected Apify because of their vast experience with web data collection. The project has been delivered on a short schedule, and our sales teams are now empowered with fresh, unique leads that drive targeted campaigns and strategic outreach.”

Flexible pricing that scales with you
Apify offers a simple $49/month plan that includes platform credits for unlimited access to over 2,000 scraping tools and custom scraper hosting — all under one plan. In contrast, Outscraper operates on a pay-as-you-go model, charging per request based on usage volume.
2,000+ scrapers at your fingertips
Every Apify plan gives you full access to the Apify Store, packed with ready-made scrapers for top sites like Instagram, Amazon, Google, and more. From sentiment analysis to lead generation, you can find a scraper for nearly any site — no coding required, with customizations available on request.
State-of-the-art scrapers for Google Maps
Scraping emails, businesses, locations or reviews from Google Maps has never been easier, faster or more versatile with Apify. Enjoy transparent pricing, full proxy control, and customization — perfect for reliable, tailored Google Maps data extraction. No hidden costs for advanced features and no coding — unless you intend to 😉.
Integrate Actors with your favorite apps
With Apify, you can schedule jobs to run automatically and integrate your workflows with 20+ services like Gmail, Airtable, Make, Zapier, Google Drive, GitHub, Keboola, and more. Connect your Apify tasks with cloud services and web apps to enhance your automation capabilities.
Combine Actors into powerful workflows
Achieve your goals with a single Actor, called a bundle. Instead of using multiple Actors for scraping, automation, and third-party integration, a bundle can handle it all. This approach saves time and resources by streamlining data cleaning, aggregation, and enhancement.
Go beyond pre-built scrapers
With any Apify plan, you gain the ability to code, host, and run your own customized scrapers on Apify's infrastructure. This can be more cost-effective for long-term or high-frequency tasks, unlike per-request models that may scale less efficiently.
More value with paid plans
Apify’s $49 per month entry plan offers full access to all platform features and unlimited use of any scrapers within your credit limit for a simpler, all-inclusive experience. Outscraper’s pay-as-you-go model provides flexibility but involves a complex invoicing process, with the potential for unexpected charges.
