Run a scraper, or search a database built in advance
Apify’s column sums up its own pages, read November 4, 2026. We have not tested its data.
| Compared | Apify | Primavera |
|---|---|---|
| How a search runs | You start a run with search terms and a location. The scraper splits the map to get past Google Maps’ limit of 120 places per area, then bills each place it returns. | You search a database built in advance. The count, and how many businesses have an email, show in seconds, before you pay. |
| Emails | Its Company contacts enrichment reads each place’s website for emails and social profiles, billed per place. On German, Austrian and Swiss websites, its page says it also reads the legal notice (Impressum) at no extra cost. | Read from each business’s website and included in every row. Role addresses, and addresses shared by unrelated businesses, are left out. |
| Checking emails | Its Email verification checks the emails of people found by Business leads enrichment. Checking the emails found on websites is not mentioned. | On request, once your list is created: 1 credit per address. |
| What you pay for | Each event of each run. Whether a place returned again in a later run is billed again is not mentioned. | A business, never charged twice to your account. |
| Countries | Any country, since it reads Google Maps when you run it. | 8 countries built in advance. Elsewhere, the data is updated when you create a list, which takes from under an hour to a few hours. |
| Reviews and photos | Exports reviews and images, each billed per item. | The rating and the number of reviews. Review texts and photos are not exported. |
| From code or Claude | An API, schedules, webhooks, thousands of other Actors in its store, and an MCP server. | An API and an MCP server on Pro and Agency: Claude can count a search, give its cost and create the list. On Agency, those exports don’t use credits. |

One search, priced: the auto repair shops of Texas
On November 9, 2026, Primavera’s database counted 20,721 auto repair shops in Texas, 7,081 of them with an email address. Google Maps shows at most 120 places per area searched, so a scraper covers the state in at least 173 smaller searches; Apify’s scraper splits them for you.

|---|---|---|
| Apify Starter | $103.61 | 20,721 places with contacts, at $5.00 per 1,000. |
| Apify Scale | $199 | The plan fee: this search uses only part of it. |
| Apify Business | $999 | The plan fee: this search uses only part of it. |
| Primavera Agency | $119€99 excl. VAT | This search, and any other in the month, under fair use. |
For this one search, Apify costs less on its Starter plan: $103.61, against $119. Two searches of this size in the same month cost $199 at best on Apify; Primavera’s Agency plan stays at $119.

When to choose Apify, and when to choose Primavera
Choose Apify if
- you build your own pipeline in code: schedules, webhooks, and other Actors chained together;
- you need reviews and images in bulk, or the legal-notice details of German, Austrian and Swiss websites;
- you need a few hundred places a month: the free plan’s $5 covers about 833 places with contacts;
- you export up to 23,000 places a month: Apify on Starter then costs less than Primavera;
- you need a country Primavera hasn’t built in advance.
Choose Primavera if
- you export more than 24,000 businesses a month: Apify then costs more than Agency’s $119 on every plan;
- you want the count, and how many have an email, before you pay;
- you would rather not run, schedule or watch anything;
- you work from Claude and want exports that don’t use credits.

What this comparison doesn’t say
- Apify’s store has other Google Maps scrapers at other prices. This page compares the Google Maps Scraper by compass, which the store shows with 681,859 users.
- Whether Apify bills its contacts option for a place without a website: its page doesn’t say. The costs above bill it on every place, so they are a ceiling.
- Which tool’s emails reach an inbox more often. We have not tested both on the same businesses.
- How fresh each tool’s data is on a given day. Apify reads Google Maps when you run it. Primavera takes in new reads of the businesses’ websites every day, while the Google Maps listings are collected in passes over each country, so a listing can be weeks or months old.
- “Unlimited” means fair use: up to 10% of a country’s businesses in any 30 days, 2,000,000 at most.
Questions
How much does Apify’s Google Maps Scraper cost?
It depends on your Apify plan. A place costs $4.00 per 1,000 on the free plan and $1.50 on the $999 Business plan; with website contacts, $5.00 on Starter and $3.50 on Scale. 100,000 places with contacts cost $350 a month at best, on Scale (prices read November 4, 2026).
Is there a free alternative to Apify for Google Maps?
Apify’s own free plan covers about 833 places with contacts a month. Outscraper offers 500 places and 500 website domains every 30 days. gosom/google-maps-scraper is free software you run yourself. Primavera gives 300 credits when you sign up. More options: Outscraper alternatives.
Does Apify’s Google Maps Scraper find emails?
Yes, with its Company contacts enrichment option, which reads each place’s website: $1.05 to $2.00 per 1,000 places on top of the place itself, depending on your plan. In Primavera, the emails found on websites come with every row.
Why does a Google Maps search stop at 120 results?
Google Maps shows at most 120 places per area searched, according to Apify’s page, so scrapers split a city or state into many smaller searches. A Primavera search reads a database instead: the 20,721 auto repair shops of Texas come back in one count.
Can I use Apify or Primavera from Claude?
Both. Apify documents an MCP server for its Actors. Primavera’s MCP server lets Claude count a search, give its cost and create the list; on Agency, those exports don’t use credits.
