What the reviews say
Strong at fast, user-friendly Google Maps/local-business scraping that delivers comprehensive, scalable data at low cost; it falls short on missing emails and regional coverage, inconsistent accuracy and reliability, and confusing pricing/limits.

|---|---|---|---|
| Does it return everything | 18 praised · 23 complained | 41 | comprehensive public place data extractionomits many emails and contact fields“Doesn't work as advertised. I am scraping a small town for all businesses not any particular one and it returns me a tiny percentage. I only get 40 to 50 results when I am expecting almost a 1000.” — 1/5 |
| What it costs | 15 praised · 21 complained | 36 | cheap with free and low-cost plansunexpected charges and overall high costs“I ran a small sample and I'm glad that I only ran a small sample. Over 2/3 of the leads that were pulled had no relation to the actual industry that I asked to be pulled. So I was charged for 66% unusable leads. Incredibly disappointing.” — 1/5 |
| Setup and docs | 48 praised · 12 complained | 60 | very easy and user-friendly interfacecomplex configuration and confusing fields“Unbelievable how much hassle this tool has been saving me. Very easy to use compared to most well-built web-apps these days somehow too... Suggested to come here by the more targeted tool for cheaper and fatter outputs... I was not lied to, what a beast.” — 5/5 |

| How fast | 48 praised · 3 complained | 51 | very fast with significant time savingsinconsistent speed; some searches run slowly“The actor is extremely effective and efficient, if known how to be used correctly, the more I learn the better results I get .
