Google Maps Scraper

$0.50 per 1,000 results — all-in. No proxy fees. No compute surprises.

Pull structured business data from Google Maps at a fraction of what other actors charge. Every run is fast, lightweight, and billed only for results you actually receive — each business lands as its own row in the dataset.

The leading Google Maps actor on Apify charges $2.10 per 1,000 results. We charge $0.50. That's 4× cheaper, with more data fields, faster runs, and zero hidden costs.

What makes this different

	This actor	Top competitor
Price per 1,000 results	$0.50	$2.10+
Proxy & infrastructure costs	Included	Billed separately
Data fields per result	40+	~20
Output organized into tabs	6 tabs	Basic table
Browser required	No	Yes (Playwright)
Bulk queries in one run	Yes	Yes
Results as individual rows	Yes	Sometimes nested
Max results per query	200	120–200

No browser means no Playwright, no Chromium, no headless overhead. Runs complete in seconds, not minutes. You're not paying Apify compute for a browser to sit idle while a page loads.

Proxy costs are absorbed. Every request is routed through our infrastructure. You never need to configure Apify proxies or eat proxy credits from your own plan.

Use cases

---

Notes

• Multiple queries run in one actor invocation — no need to start separate runs per city or keyword.
• Set gl to match the country you're targeting for the most accurate local results (gl=ca for Canada, gl=gb for UK, gl=de for Germany).
• Use fields to trim output to only the columns you need — useful for large runs where you want a lean dataset.
• Results are cached on our infrastructure for 1 hour, so repeated identical queries return immediately without re-fetching.
• This actor makes no browser calls. It connects directly to our scraping infrastructure, meaning cold starts are near-instant and memory usage stays flat throughout the run.
