Outscraper gives new accounts a one-time signup credit rather than an ongoing free tier. The free plan includes free access for the first 500 businesses (places), free access for the first 500 reviews, and free access for the first 500 contacts. FreeTier.co estimates the free tier at about $1.00/mo.
About
Outscraper provides cloud-based data extraction tools and APIs for collecting public web data at scale, with a strong focus on Google Maps and other major online sources. It is designed for marketers, researchers, developers, and data teams that need structured business listings, reviews, contact details, and other public information exported into common formats.
The platform combines a web interface with API access and supports multiple scraping and enrichment workflows across search, maps, reviews, shopping, images, news, and contact discovery. It emphasizes fast processing, cloud execution, and flexible output options for operational use cases such as lead generation, location intelligence, and business data enrichment.
- Google Maps and local business data extraction
- Review, search, shopping, image, and news scraping
- Email and contact enrichment for domains and businesses
- CSV, Excel, JSON, Parquet, and API-based workflows
- Cloud execution to avoid local scraping infrastructure
Free Tier Value
This free tier covers the first 500 businesses, and the cheapest paid rate on the page is $1 per 1,000 records in the higher-volume tier. That makes the free allowance worth about $0.50 at the published unit price, but since it includes the same core exports and enrichments as the paid tiers and resets each month, a practical buyer-facing estimate is about $1/month. A card is required for postpaid billing, so there is some signup friction, and the offer is capped rather than unlimited.
