## Why teams get their businesses from SpecStream

### Only the businesses that meet your conditions

An extractor bills every place its search returns, and the places that miss your conditions are yours to filter out. On SpecStream you write the businesses you need: "every physiotherapy clinic in Manchester, UK rated 4.5 or higher, with the website and the email from its own site". SpecStream reads the request back as parts you can edit, finds every match and checks each condition against the business's own pages. A business that fails one is not delivered and not billed, and neither are duplicates or rows you already own.

### The listing and the business's own site in one row

Apify's Extractor returns the listing, and its own page calls it a stripped down version of Apify's Google Maps Scraper; contacts from the business website are a paid add-on. Each SpecStream row joins the listing with facts read on the business's own site: its email, the services it names and the people it lists. Source URL and read time on every value.

### 18,031 local businesses already read

On Nov 12, 2026, [specstream.ai/data/places](https://specstream.ai/data/places?utm_source=alternatives&utm_campaign=google-maps-extractor) 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. A ready list costs 5¢ a row for the first 2,000 rows and 1¢ a row after, with a $5 minimum. Any other kind of business, in any city, comes from the live web when you ask.

### A price before the run starts

A row costs 5¢ with up to 5 facts, 15¢ with up to 15 facts and one set of related records, and $1 for a deep row. 200 businesses with name, address, phone, website and rating cost $10. The most a run can cost is quoted before it starts, nothing runs until you approve it, and what the run does not use goes back to your balance.

### New and changed businesses, labeled

A saved request reruns hourly to yearly, and each row comes back labeled changed, unchanged or no longer matching. New matches land in Slack, email, a sheet, a CRM or a signed webhook, so a new clinic reaches your pipeline the week it opens.
