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?
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.
Thousands of 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.
