Pricing

Pay per event + platform usage. You pay both:

1. Event fees (below) — paid to the Actor developer
2. Platform usage — paid to Apify for compute, data transfer, storage, and proxies

Platform usage & residential proxy (important)

Google Maps runs need Apify Proxy → RESIDENTIAL. Residential traffic is billed by Apify per GB (rate depends on your plan; often around $7–$8 / GB on lower plans).

• Browser/Maps traffic is heavier than simple HTTP scrapes, so even small runs can use tens–hundreds of MB.
• Proxy + compute usually cost more than the event fees on short test runs.
• Start with a small test (low maxPlacesPerQuery) before large city lists.
• Without residential proxy you often get 0 results, but you still avoid that proxy charge.

Event fees

Event	When charged	Price
Place lead	Each business saved	$0.004 ($4.00 per 1,000)
Phone enrichment	Only if at least one validated phone is found	$0.005 ($5.00 per 1,000)
Email enrichment	Only if at least one public email is found	$0.004 ($4.00 per 1,000)

Event fee examples (platform usage — including residential proxy — is extra):

Result mix	Approx. event cost only
1,000 places, all with phone, no emails	$9.00 + usage
1,000 places, all with phone + email	$13.00 + usage
1,000 places, ~80% phone, ~40% email	~$9.60 + usage

Total cost scales with locations, search terms, max results, residential proxy GB, and compute. Defaults stay small for Store auto-tests and cheap first runs.

Tips

• Residential proxy is important for Google Maps. Without it you may get zero results.
• Expect proxy usage to be a large share of the run cost; keep max results low while testing.
• More cities × more keywords × higher max results = longer runs and higher proxy + compute cost.
• Search EV charger installer or emergency electrician for specialty-focused lists.
• No website / unclaimed / few reviews often score HOT for agencies.
• License detection is best-effort and varies by state wording.

---

Compliance

• Public business information only; no login walls.
• Business emails and phones may still be personal data under GDPR/CCPA in some cases.
• You are responsible for lawful use and outreach (anti-spam and privacy rules).
• Do not use for spam or illegal activity.

---

Limitations

• Google Maps may block non-residential traffic.
• Phones/emails hidden in images or complex scripts may be missed.
• License regexes are best-effort; not every state format is covered.
• mxValid checks the domain, not that a specific mailbox is active.
• Lead score is a heuristic, not a guarantee of conversion.
• Maps does not return unlimited listings per area.
• Maps page layout can change over time.

Troubleshooting

Problem	What to try
0 results	Use residential proxy; lower max results; check the run log
Places but no emails	Common for form-only sites; try more website pages
No license numbers	Site may not publish a license; turn off “find license” or accept empty
Slow or costly run	Fewer locations/terms; lower max results
Empty after filters	Turn off “only EV” / “only emergency” / “only with email” for testing
