Cheapest All-Inclusive Google Maps | $0.25/1K Searches

The most affordable all-inclusive Google Maps scraper: $0.25 per 1k requests. Find local businesses and place details. One search can return many places, with run usage and proxies included.

Batch local business searches and exact place lookups; one request can return multiple places.

Price

$0.25 per 1,000 searches ($0.00025 per successful API response). A search is one successful results page or source response. Each continuation page counts as another search; individual result rows cost no extra.

Each successful response saved to the run is one paid event, including valid empty responses. Multiple places, reviews, or products in one response do not create additional paid events.

Failed requests are unbilled. Retries and a resumed run do not charge the same request twice. There is no Actor startup fee or separate per-row fee; platform usage during the run is included. Standard Apify charges for post-run storage access may still apply. Payments are handled by Apify; no separate service key or proxy purchase is required.

Free-plan users receive up to 25 successful requests per Apify user per UTC day across this catalog, subject to the service trial allowance. Paid runs respect the input request limit and Apify spending limit.

Quick start

Use a single input below, or supply requests as a list of parameter objects. Top-level API fields are shared defaults, and each batch object overrides them. Identifiers in examples demonstrate the format; use an identifier returned by the matching provider for production work.

{
  "q": "coffee shops",
  "type": "search",
  "ll": "@30.2672,-97.7431,14z",
  "maxRequests": 10,

}

Input parameters

Field	Type	Required	Meaning
q	string	Optional / conditional	Search query. Use the same parameters for every continuation page.
type	string	Optional / conditional	Choose search for a query or place for an exact data sequence.
ll	string	Optional / conditional	Map center and scale, for example @30.2672,-97.7431,14z.
data	string	Optional / conditional	Google Maps place data sequence.
data_cid	string	Optional / conditional	Decimal Google CID. Mutually exclusive with other exact-place identifiers.
gl	string	Optional / conditional	Two-letter country code.
google_domain	string	Optional / conditional	Supported Google domain, for example google.com.
hl	string	Optional / conditional	Source language, for example en or en-US.
lat	number	Optional / conditional	Latitude; most endpoints require lon too.
location	string	Optional / conditional	Named location. Conflicts with other geography modes on Google search.
lon	number	Optional / conditional	Longitude; most endpoints require lat too.
m	number	Optional / conditional	Radius in meters; use z or m with location/coordinates.
max_price	integer	Optional / conditional	Maximum price band.
min_price	integer	Optional / conditional	Minimum price band.
min_rating	number	Optional / conditional	Minimum rating.
nearby	boolean	Optional / conditional	Search nearby the supplied center.
open_at_hour	string	Optional / conditional	Native open_at_hour parameter. See the source-specific constraints; unsupported combinations return an unbilled validation error.
open_on_day	string	Optional / conditional	Native open_on_day parameter. See the source-specific constraints; unsupported combinations return an unbilled validation error.
open_state	string	Optional / conditional	Native open_state parameter. See the source-specific constraints; unsupported combinations return an unbilled validation error.
place_id	string	Optional / conditional	Exact source place identifier. Use the identifier returned by this provider.
start	integer	Optional / conditional	Result offset. Prefer automatic pagination over calculating offsets.
timeout	number	Optional / conditional	Optional budget for the entire request in seconds, measured from gateway receipt until the response is ready to send. Includes admission, queueing and settlement. Must be greater than 0 and at most 90. On expiry, the call is not billed and returns 503 request_deadline_exceeded with retryable=true and a request ID. Omit to retain the standard server deadline.
z	number	Optional / conditional	Map zoom; use z or m with location/coordinates.

The source validates conditional parameter combinations. Validation errors do not trigger a paid request event. Provider availability determines which optional result groups appear.

Batches, pagination, and limits

• requests: up to 1,000 input parameter objects in one run.
• maxRequests: total successful API requests, including pages; default 100. At that limit the event price is at most $0.025.
• maxPagesPerInput: default 1. Increase to follow native continuation links where this endpoint supplies them. No synthetic pagination is invented.
• maxResults: maximum dataset rows; default 1,000. Already in-flight requests can complete and be billed, with full JSON saved even if their rows exceed this cap.
• maxConcurrency: default 2, maximum 8. Service capacity and trial limits may reduce it.
• includeArtifacts: optionally retain available raw source artifacts in this run. Default false.

Output

The default dataset contains source records with requestId, inputIndex, page, group, readable title, url, rating, and text fields when available, the complete record in data, and responseUrl. A successful response without a primary result group gets a response row.

Each responseUrl points to a stored response envelope; its response.body contains the complete API JSON, including optional modules and pagination. SUMMARY reports successful requests, failures, row count, and event charges. ERRORS records unsuccessful requests. If every request fails, the run fails with no request-event charges.

Follow-up API links, including pagination and related reviews or products, are Apify request objects: { "url": "https://api.apify.com/v2/actors/litescrape~<actor>/runs", "method": "POST", "input": { ... } }. POST the supplied input as JSON to url using your own Apify authorization header. Each follow-up starts a new run limited to one successful request; use maxPagesPerInput for automatic pagination inside this run. Source website links are unchanged. search_metadata.json_endpoint links to the saved Apify response. Available artifact links point to files copied to Apify; unavailable artifact links are omitted.

JSON exports preserve nested fields. Select the flat overview fields for CSV. Artifact manifests use artifacts-<requestId> keys and link to copied source files when available. Private run data requires the appropriate Apify access.

Price comparison

Lowest price in this 2026-09-20 comparison for place discovery averaging at least 9 unique usable places per billed request, comparing published prices that include run usage and proxies.

Illustrative workload: 1,000 successful requests × 20 usable places per request = 20,000 places. Our total is $0.25, equivalent to $0.0125 per 1,000 places.

These are calculated prices, not measured scraper runs or guaranteed page yields. Count unique usable source records actually delivered, including the cost of empty responses, continuation pages and lookups needed to obtain the fields you need. An array of request objects does not turn multiple API calls into one billed request.

Actor	Lowest applicable tier	Published-charge subtotal for this workload	Effective price / 1,000 output units

Each competitor gets its lowest published tier, including enterprise tiers, without adding a plan subscription cost. Required compared events use the same tier; known startup charges assume one run and the minimum one billed GB. Unquantified compute/proxy charges, optional enrichment and any omitted additional fees can only increase the displayed competitor subtotal. Output completeness and reliability were not benchmarked.

• scrapecraft/google-maps-place-details-identity-resolver: Exact-place resolution, not broad area discovery; retained as a conservative price reference.
• nosytlabs/google-maps-scraper: Adds platform usage and requires residential proxies; its $0.01/1K fee is not a complete quote.
• The 20-place calculation is a workload example, not a promised page size. Search with type=search; each continuation page costs another request.
• At 20 places/request, $0.25 buys 20,000 places: $0.0125 per 1,000 places. At 10 places/request the effective price is $0.025/1K; at one place/request it is $0.25/1K.
• Nosyt Labs advertises $0.01/1K results plus platform usage and residential proxies. It has a lower Actor fee. Its total was not measured, so the headline explicitly covers all-inclusive published prices, not an unproven win over variable infrastructure bills.
• The claim covers place discovery, not one-place detail lookups, website email enrichment, reviews, or guaranteed equal field coverage. Exact-place alternatives can cost less for individual lookups.

Cheapest means the lowest calculated price for the stated workload among the named paid Apify Actors in this dated audit. It is not a claim about every Actor, every plan, every workload, or equal output quality. Free/platform-only Actors, monthly rentals and bring-your-own-paid-key wrappers do not establish a comparable fixed total from their Actor fee alone. They may cost less on particular workloads.

The comparison uses the linked active pricing snapshots and public documentation checked on the audit date. Recheck live pricing before relying on a competitor comparison. No provider affiliation or equal-quality claim is implied.
