Hi there,
Thank you for leaving this review. I hear your frustration, and I want to address both concerns directly because you deserve a clear explanation, not a deflection.
On the data quality issue:
The Google Maps scraper pulls results based on the exact query you run (category + location). The challenge is that Google itself sometimes broadens those results by including related categories or nearby locations. So if you searched for a specific category, Google may have surfaced adjacent businesses alongside it, which is why the raw output looked larger than expected.
This is a known behavior, and Outscraper provides filters specifically to help you tighten those results and remove irrelevant entries before they count toward your credits. You can find the full guide here: https://outscraper.com/google-maps-data-scraper-filters
I understand this wasn't made clear upfront, and that's on us.
On the pricing:
Here's how it works:
- First 500 results: free (Free Tier)
- 501 to 100,000 results: $3 per 1,000 (Medium Tier)
- 100,001 and above: $1 per 1,000 (Business Tier)
- Resets every month
A full breakdown is available here: https://outscraper.com/outscraper-pricing-explained/
I recognize the pricing structure isn't immediately obvious, and if it caught you off guard, that's a legitimate concern we need to take seriously.
I'd like to make this right. If you can share your account details or task IDs with us at [email protected], I'll personally review what happened with your run and work with the team to find a fair resolution. Your experience should not have gone this way, and I want to do better by you.
Warm regards,
Outscraper Support Team
