Cheapest Google Maps Reviews | $0.25/1K Review Pages

Scrape Google Maps reviews for $0.25 per 1k requests. Collect review pages with sorting and keyword filters. Pay once per page, with no extra charge for each review.

Sorted and filtered review pages, billed per request rather than per review.

Price

$0.25 per 1,000 review pages ($0.00025 per successful API response). A review page is one successful response containing the available reviews. Each continuation page is billed separately; individual reviews 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.

{
  "place_id": "ChIJN1t_tDeuEmsRUsoyG83frY4",
  "num": 100,
  "maxRequests": 10,
  "maxPagesPerInput": 1
}

Input parameters

Field	Type	Required	Meaning
place_id	string	Optional / conditional	Exact source place identifier. Use the identifier returned by this provider.
num	integer	Optional / conditional	1–100 for an initial unfiltered request; 1–20 for filtered or continuation pages.
data_id	string	Optional / conditional	Source feature or photo identifier, as required by this Actor.
gl	string	Optional / conditional	Two-letter country code.
hl	string	Optional / conditional	Source language, for example en or en-US.
next_page_token	string	Optional / conditional	Opaque continuation token returned by the source.
query	string	Optional / conditional	Review text filter; conflicts with topic_id.
sort_by	string	Optional / conditional	Review order.
source_metadata	boolean	Optional / conditional	Include source icon and rating scale metadata.
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.
topic_id	string	Optional / conditional	Source topic; conflicts with query.

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 initial unfiltered review pages averaging at least 26 usable reviews per billed request.

Illustrative workload: 1,000 successful requests × 100 usable reviews per request = 100,000 reviews. Our total is $0.25, equivalent to $0.0025 per 1,000 reviews.

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
Litescrape	Same request rate on every plan	$0.25	$0.0025
fetch_cat/google-maps-reviews-scraper (active prices)	DIAMOND	$1.005	$0.01005

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.

• alfalfa/google-maps-scraper: Review fee only; place fees would increase this competitor lower bound.
• Set num=100 for the initial unfiltered request. This endpoint permits only up to 20 reviews for filtered or continuation pages, so those pages do not automatically qualify.
• At 20 reviews/request on large runs, Fetch Cat's deepest per-review discount can be cheaper. Count empty responses and all billed continuation pages in your actual average.

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.
