Most local business lead scrapers on Apify are Google Maps scrapers with a website-crawling step bolted on. lukaskrivka/google-maps-with-contact-details is the most used (87,957 users, 4.63 stars). flash_scraper/local-business-leads is the outlier: it discovers businesses on OpenStreetMap instead of Google Maps, and includes MX email verification in its $3 per 1,000.
Every figure below was read from Apify's public Store API (GET /v2/store) on 2026-09-05 — including every user count, so they are all on the same footing. The per-actor endpoint (GET /v2/acts/<id>) can read one higher: it gives flash_scraper/local-business-leads 33 rather than 32, and code-node-tools 33 as well. Prices, users and ratings change; the Pricing tab on each actor page is authoritative.
Disclosure: I publish flash_scraper/local-business-leads, one of the actors compared here. Its limits are listed in the same detail as everyone else's, including the one that will disqualify it for many buyers.
How prices are normalised
These actors bill per event, and the events differ in kind, which makes headline prices misleading. Some charge per place found. Some charge separately for the website crawl that actually produces the email. Some charge again to verify that the email is deliverable. The table lists the primary per-result event multiplied by 1,000 at the free-plan rate, then names the add-on events, because a $5 per 1,000 place price with a $100 per 1,000 email-verification add-on is not a $5 tool.
