Its Google Maps Scraper is free for the first 500 businesses, then $3 per 1,000, and $1 per 1,000 above 100,000. Emails are a second service at $3 per 1,000 domains, and checking them is a third at $3 per 1,000 emails.

SpecStream is the best alternative to Outscraper for sales teams whose best accounts share a trait no category lists. SpecStream is the live web data engine for teams and agents: you describe the accounts in plain words, and it searches the live web, reads every page that holds the facts and returns each account that meets every condition as a structured row, with its buying committee. You see the most the run can cost before it starts, and you pay 5¢, 15¢ or $1 for each row delivered.

On SpecStream you write the accounts you want with every condition, for any kind of company: "dental practices in Texas with three or more locations that take online bookings on their own site", "logistics companies in Germany hiring their first RevOps lead", or "software companies that opened a US office this year". SpecStream reads the request back as parts you can edit, the conditions every row must meet and the facts to bring back, then searches the live web, reads each page and joins what it finds into one record per account. A result that fails one of your conditions is not delivered and not billed. ### The committee and the contact on the same row On Outscraper the place is one service, its emails are a second at $3 per 1,000 domains, and checking those emails is a third at $3 per 1,000 emails. The enrichment returns up to three emails and three phones found for the place. A SpecStream row at 15¢ carries up to 15 facts and one set of related records, so 1,000 accounts with the committee cost $150. A person's email adds 5¢ and a phone 15¢. Each email says whether a page printed it, and a likely one is labeled. ### The price is set before the run Outscraper's pricing page gives a calculator and labels the result illustrative, and postpaid usage arrives as an invoice when the billing period ends. Every SpecStream request gets a quote of the most it can cost, good for 30 minutes. Nothing runs until you approve it, the charge never goes past that amount, and whatever the run does not use goes back to your balance. Reading and pricing a request cost nothing. ### Local businesses on the page, and a measured search API On Nov 9, 2026, [specstream.ai/data/places](https://specstream.ai/data/places?utm_source=alternatives&utm_campaign=outscraper) held 18,031 local businesses in 355 categories across 390 cities in 12 countries, each with its rating, reviews and website, read from its Google Maps listing. The page is rebuilt every morning, and you can ask for your own cut of it for a new region. SpecStream's search API scores 97.9 F-score on all 1,000 official SimpleQA Verified questions (978 correct), and 64.0 item F1 and 43.4 row F1 on all 200 official WideSearch tasks. The Extract API scores 0.908 F1 on WCXB. Scores and method are at [specstream.ai/benchmarks](https://specstream.ai/benchmarks?utm_source=alternatives&utm_campaign=outscraper). A search costs $5 per 1,000 and a page read $0.80 per 1,000, on the same balance as your rows. ### Reruns label every account and land in your CRM Save the request and it reruns hourly to yearly. Each row comes back labeled changed, unchanged or no longer matching. A changed or new row costs half its rate and an unchanged row costs 1¢, so rechecking 1,000 accounts that did not change costs $10. New matches and changes land in HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Attio, Sheets, Slack or Teams with no code, or in your agent through the MCP server. Rows you already own are never charged again. ## Other Outscraper alternatives ### SpecStream The live web data engine for teams and agents. One request in plain words returns structured rows from the live web at 5¢, 15¢ or $1 a delivered row, under a maximum you approve before the run. The Search API costs $5 per 1,000 searches and the Extract API $0.80 per 1,000 pages. ### Apify A platform for cloud programs called Actors.

SpecStream names the most a run can cost before it starts, and the charge never goes past it. ### Scrap.io Local business exports by search area and business type. Plans run from €35 to €350 a month, billed yearly, with 10,000 to 100,000 export credits every month. A SpecStream row costs the same on every plan, and it meets every condition you wrote, with facts from many sites joined into one record. ### Coresignal Database APIs and datasets paid in credits, which are used to get and enrich data records.

Or import the file you exported from Outscraper, up to 20,000 rows, and SpecStream fills in or checks each row. Sign up and you get $10 of credit, no card. At 5¢ a row, that is up to 200 rows. Or send the request from code. This call spends nothing: the `402` reply shows how SpecStream read the request, the columns and the most it can cost. ``` curl -i https://api.specstream.ai/v1/agent/lists \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"request": "Dental practices in Texas with three or more locations that take online bookings on their own site, with the owner or practice manager, a work email and a phone", "count": 25}' ``` Approve that maximum by card through Stripe's Link agent wallet, or in USDC on Base, Arbitrum or Polygon, and you pay for the rows found. On an account, your agent uses the MCP server at `https://api.specstream.ai/mcp` and your team uses the workspace, from the same balance.
