Outscraper alternative: one wallet, hard spend caps, no surprise invoices
Outscraper is a broad no-code scraping platform with 200+ services, best known for Google Maps leads and reviews. Gridlode covers the same core jobs on one credit wallet, adds domain intelligence and real-time search, and makes spending predictable.
| Outscraper | Gridlode | |
|---|---|---|
| Google Maps places | $3 per 1,000, then $1 above 100k/month | 2 credits ($2 → $0.60 per 1,000) |
| Google search pages | $5 per 1,000, then $3 | 3 credits ($3 → $0.90 per 1,000), via a licensed feed |
| Free usage | Separate allowance per service (only 10 Google searches) | 1,000 credits + 500/month, any engine |
| Volume tiers | Per service, reset every 30 days | One credit price across every engine |
| Running out of credits | Jobs keep running; overage is invoiced | Requests stop at your balance or spend cap |
| Failed requests | 3-day refund window | Never charged (automatic) |
| Cached data discount | No | 50% off with max_age |
| Domain intelligence (WHOIS, RDAP, DNS) | WHOIS only | Live today |

Questions about switching
Is Gridlode cheaper than Outscraper?
For Google Maps places, Gridlode charges $2 per 1,000 on packs and $0.60–$0.80 on larger plans, against Outscraper's $3 (then $1 above 100k per month). Domain lookups, which Outscraper doesn't offer the same way, cost 1 credit.
Can I get full Google reviews?
Since late September 2026 Google shows only a few reviews to signed-out visitors, which affects every scraper. Gridlode will offer owner-connected reviews through the Google Business Profile API and clearly labels public-snapshot coverage, rather than using logged-in accounts.
