Prospect Locally vs Outscraper

Two different jobs

Outscraper is a catalog of scrapers that you pay for by usage. You pick a scraper, such as Google Maps places, emails and contacts, or phone lookups, and you add enrichments to the task. Its Google Maps scraper also sits next to scrapers for reviews, product listings, and search results, so it serves many kinds of data projects, not only prospecting.

Prospect Locally does one job. You type a niche and a place, and every matching Google Maps business comes back with an owner name, emails, labeled phone numbers, social profiles, and website data in one list. You export the list as CSV or let an AI assistant run the search for you.

How the pricing differs

Outscraper charges for each service separately, and its pricing page lists a different meter for each one. The Google Maps scraper is free for the first 500 places each month and then costs $3 per 1,000 records. The emails and contacts scraper bills per domain, and the phone lookup bills per number. A finished lead list that needs places, emails, and phone checks is the sum of three meters, and you work out the total yourself.

Prospect Locally sells one monthly credit allowance that covers the whole lead. Starter costs $39 a month with 10,000 credits, and Agency costs $97 a month with 50,000 credits. Yearly billing lowers both. A plan is a fixed monthly bill, which suits a team that prospects every week. A usage meter suits a team that pulls data a few times a year, because it costs nothing in the months you do not use it.

Where Outscraper is the better fit

• You need data from sources other than Google Maps. Outscraper lists scrapers for reviews, shopping sites, and app stores, and Prospect Locally does not offer them.
• You run a very large one-off pull. Outscraper's page shows the per-record price falling to $1 per 1,000 after 100,000 places, and you pay nothing in months with no usage.
• You are building your own pipeline and want a raw API for each step, with your own code deciding what to do with the result.

Where Prospect Locally is the better fit

• You want one list that is ready for outreach. The owner name, emails, phone numbers, and social profiles arrive in the same row, so you do not run a second and third task to assemble them.
• You search many places at once. A campaign takes one niche and a whole region, and the credits it did not use are refunded when it finishes.
• You work through an AI assistant. Prospect Locally runs an MCP server and publishes an agent skill file, so ChatGPT, Claude, or GoHighLevel can run the search on your behalf.
• You want to try it first. Every new account gets free credits and does not enter a card.

Where the two tools overlap

Both tools return Google Maps business data, business emails found on websites, social profile links, and CSV files, and both offer an API. Both can also label a phone number as mobile, landline, or VoIP and name its carrier: Outscraper does it through its phone enricher, and Prospect Locally does it from public number-block data at no extra cost per lookup.

What the table does not say

A cell that reads "Not listed" means the Outscraper pages we read do not state the feature. It does not mean the feature is missing. For example, Outscraper's contacts API returns named people with job titles, but its pages do not describe an owner field, so the owner row reads "Not listed" instead of "Yes".

Every cell links to the page it was read from, and the note under the table gives the day we checked. Prices and features change, so open the linked page before you decide.
