outsend vs Scrap.io: which Google Maps scraper should you choose in 2026?

You're currently using Scrap.io to extract business listings from Google Maps, and you're wondering what you'd gain — or lose — by switching to outsend. This isn't another feature-checkbox comparison table: it's a migration guide, written for someone who already has an established Scrap.io workflow and wants to know, concretely, what would stay the same, what would change, and when staying put is the smarter move.

We'll go through it point by point, without blind spots, up to date for 2026.

What you keep when moving from Scrap.io to outsend

First thing to clarify: your core workflow doesn't change. Scrap.io is a French SaaS launched in 2020, specialising in Google Maps scraping, whose promise is to extract business listings by city, activity type, or geographic radius — outputting the standard Google Maps data (address, phone, hours, reviews) plus data scraped from each business's own website (emails, social media, detected technologies). That foundation is fully present in outsend, which also offers Google Maps scraping by city/area, radius search, custom polygon search, email extraction from websites, and CSV/Excel export.

Concretely, what stays the same in your day-to-day:

• The zone-and-activity-type search logic: you still think in terms of "this trade in this city / this radius."
• The output data types: contact details, website, extracted emails, social media, website tech signals.
• The export format: CSV and Excel on both sides (outsend adds JSON), so your existing Scrap.io data re-imports without friction.
• The fact that the operational risk of Google blocking stays with the vendor, not with you.

In other words, the module both tools share is of comparable quality. You're not relearning a trade.

What actually changes in your workflow

The real difference is philosophical. Scrap.io takes a single-feature stance: one tool, doing one thing, but doing it well. No email sending, no email finder, no deliverability verification, no pipeline. To contact the scraped leads, you export to CSV and plug in a third-party tool. It's a coherent, clean choice: Scrap.io maximises the depth of its single module.

outsend.xyz, a French platform launched in 2026 and currently in public alpha, bets on the opposite approach: all-in-one. Google Maps scraping is its fully functional module, but it comes with an integrated suite — pro email finder (name + company), deliverability verification via real inbox testing, anti-bounce and list cleaning, social media detection, website tech stack detection, URL dead-check, and pipelines to chain these operations together.

So what actually changes when you switch:

• Post-scraping disappears from your third-party tools. Where you used to export your Scrap.io list to an email finder, then to a verification tool, then to your CRM, outsend chains those steps within the same environment via its pipelines.
• Email verification becomes native. Scrap.io extracts emails from websites but doesn't re-verify them before sending; outsend adds a real-time inbox test and an anti-bounce layer that Scrap.io doesn't offer.
• You lose multi-Maps coverage. Scrap.io covers Google Maps but also Apple Maps and Bing Maps; outsend only covers Google Maps for now. If part of your workflow relies on secondary map sources, that's a genuine consideration.
• The access model changes. Scrap.io runs on tiered pricing with commitment (see below); outsend is free by application during the alpha, with no publicly listed prices.

For reference, here are Scrap.io's 2026 tiers — useful for comparing your current cost against an outsend trial:

• Basic — €35/month (€49 without commitment): 10,000 exports/month, city-only search, max 5 activity types, no radius search
• Professional — €69/month (€99 without commitment): 20,000 exports/month, up to administrative subdivision level 2, max 10 activity types, radius up to 50 km
• Agency — €139/month (€199 without commitment): 40,000 exports/month, subdivision level 1, max 50 activity types, 100 km radius
• Company — €350/month (€499 without commitment): 100,000 exports/month, whole-country search, 200 activity types, 500 km radius, custom polygon

Testing outsend over one week on a sample, without leaving Scrap.io

The good news for a Scrap.io user: you don't have to choose on day one. The CSV export compatibility between both tools lets you run a parallel test, at zero risk, over one week. Here's a concrete plan:

• Day 1 — take a representative sample. Pick one of your usual Scrap.io searches (a trade type, a city, or a radius you already target). Note your current output volume and quality as a baseline.
• Day 2 — run the same search on outsend. Since alpha access is free by application, you can launch the same Google Maps scope and compare the extracted data side by side with your Scrap.io export for the same area.
• Days 3–4 — test what Scrap.io doesn't do. On the outsend sample, run the email finder, then real-inbox deliverability verification, then anti-bounce. That's where you measure the real gain: how many extra emails, how many invalid addresses filtered out before sending.
• Day 5 — chain it all into a pipeline. Recreate your usual sequence (scraping → finder → verification → contact-ready list) as a single operation, and time it against your current multi-tool workflow.
• Wrap-up — keep Scrap.io as a fallback. Until you've made up your mind, there's no reason to cancel. Compare two datasets on the same scope and decide based on your own numbers, not on a promise.

When to stay on Scrap.io

Switching isn't the right call for everyone. Scrap.io has real strengths, and there are profiles for whom staying is the rational choice.

If your need is strictly map scraping and you already have a connected email finder, deliverability tool, and CRM that work for you, then the all-in-one value proposition of outsend simply doesn't apply. The Professional tier at €69/month on an annual commitment remains a strong depth-to-price ratio for that scope, and your existing workflow already runs smoothly.

If you specifically target Apple Maps or Bing Maps — a rarer use case, but real if your sector has a strong presence on those secondary maps — Scrap.io remains to date the only French SaaS to offer multi-Maps coverage. outsend only covers Google Maps for now, so switching would mean losing that capability.

If you work at very high volume (40,000 to 100,000 exports/month) and can justify the Agency or Company budget, Scrap.io has a proven infrastructure at those scales. outsend in alpha hasn't yet handled client cases at 100k exports/month, so for workloads of that magnitude, Scrap.io's track record matters.

If your workflow relies on Scrap.io's fine-grained administrative subdivision levels (from level 1 down to whole-country depending on the tier), you have geographic depth that's core to the tool's DNA — and is exactly what its single-feature strategy allows it to push far.

The decision matrix at a glance

Your situation	The right choice
Already have a complete prospecting stack (finder + deliverability + CRM) that works for you	Stay on Scrap.io
Need Apple Maps / Bing Maps coverage	Stay on Scrap.io
Running 40,000 to 100,000 exports/month in production	Stay on Scrap.io
Starting from scratch or don't have a post-scraping stack yet	Try outsend
Want to scrape and contact in the same tool, without export-import cycles	Try outsend
Want to re-verify deliverability before sending (real inbox test)	Try outsend
Want to validate a use case for free before committing	Try outsend (alpha, free by application)

The right call comes down to one sentence: it depends less on the technical quality of the two tools — comparable on the shared module — than on where you're starting from. If your prospecting funnel is already built and paid for elsewhere, Scrap.io does its job very well. If that funnel is still to be built, outsend's all-in-one approach saves you stacking three or four separate subscriptions.

On the compliance side, nothing changes for you

Whether you stay on Scrap.io or move to outsend, the legal framework is the same: both tools operate within the scope of the CNIL's guidance on web harvesting, which governs the extraction of publicly available data. Since Google Maps is a public source, scraping business listings (company name, address, professional phone number, website) is lawful as long as:

• the extracted data is used for B2B prospecting (the recipient is reachable in a professional capacity, not as a private individual)
• opt-out requests are honoured immediately
• the legal notices and privacy policy inform contacts of their right to object

For prospecting emails, the CNIL doctrine on commercial email prospecting remains the reference: opt-in required for B2C, opt-out sufficient for B2B when the purpose is consistent with the recipient's activity. Neither Scrap.io nor outsend exempt you from complying with these rules on the sending side — that responsibility stays yours regardless of which tool you use.

Frequently asked questions

Can I transfer my Scrap.io searches to outsend?
The CSV exports from both tools are compatible. You can re-import your existing database into outsend to take advantage of its add-on modules (email finder, verification, anti-bounce). You don't need to rebuild anything from scratch to run a test.

Does Scrap.io let you send emails after scraping?
No. Scrap.io extracts data but sends no emails. You need to export to CSV and use a third-party sending tool (Lemlist, Brevo, Mailchimp pro, etc.). That's precisely the step outsend integrates into its pipeline.

Does outsend genuinely replace a Hunter + Phantombuster + Lemlist stack?
On the scraping + email finder + deliverability + contact-ready lists scope: yes. On advanced outbound email sequencing (multi-touch campaigns, advanced A/B testing), outsend is still in alpha on that module — Lemlist remains more mature on the pure sequencing side.

How much does outsend cost in alpha?
Alpha access is free by application. Definitive pricing is not publicly listed while the product remains in alpha. The target pricing for the post-alpha launch is positioned well below the rates of competing tools.

Does Scrap.io work for scraping outside France?
Yes, Scrap.io covers 195 countries according to its official documentation. The Company tier allows scraping an entire country in a single search. outsend in alpha targets France as its primary market, but multi-country scraping is technically available.
