LeadMarina vs Apify Google Maps Scraper
Choose Apify if you're a developer who wants raw Google Maps fields in your own pipeline and will price each add-on event.
Choose LeadMarina if you want a finished lead, with the website's emails, the owner's name where found, and email and phone checks, at one price per lead.
Apify is a web-scraping platform with a store of ready-made scrapers it calls Actors, and its Google Maps Scraper is one of the most used: give it a search term and a place, and it returns listings with name, address, phone, website, rating, and opening hours. It is priced per event, from a per-1,000-places rate, with each add-on (emails from the business's website, employee leads, email verification, reviews, social profiles) charged on top.
LeadMarina is a lead product rather than a scraper. Search a niche and a city, and every lead with a website arrives with that website's emails and social profiles already read, every email SMTP-checked, phones carrying a line type and carrier, and the owner's name where the business's own site, a public record or a web search names one. You pay per lead, instead of a bill per event.
Side by side
| Feature | Apify Google Maps Scraper | LeadMarina |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | A scraper (an Apify “Actor”) on a developer platform: set the inputs, run it, download the dataset | A lead product: search a niche and a city, filter, export, or call the REST API |
| Pricing model | Pay per event: $1.50 per 1,000 places on Apify's Business plan ($4 on its free plan), plus each add-on event you switch on. Company contacts enrichment is $0.20 per 100 places on Apify's free plan, per the Actor's own cost example | $39 / $119 / $299 for 15k / 65k / 240k verified leads, or $699 Unlimited (up to 210,000 leads per 7-day period) |
| Emails from the website | An add-on event (company contacts enrichment) | Included on every lead: up to 3 emails |
| Email verification | An optional add-on for the emails its business leads enrichment finds, charged per decisive result (ok, invalid, disposable); catch-all, unknown and error results are not charged | Included on every lead — every email SMTP-checked (safe / risky / invalid / unknown), phones checked for line type + carrier |
| Phone verification | Numbers as listed or found on the website; no line type or carrier check advertised | Up to 3 phones per lead, checked for line type (mobile, landline, VoIP or toll-free) and carrier |
| Owner names | From the Impressum on German, Austrian and Swiss sites; a separate leads add-on returns employees' names, titles and work emails | Owner names from the business's own website, US public records, or a web search for the business; where none is named, the person the site names as running part of the business, with their role |
| Delivery | Download the dataset, or connect it through Apify's integrations and scheduler | CSV / Excel / JSON, or straight into Google Sheets, Close or GoHighLevel, where re-exports update the leads already sent instead of duplicating them. Automations re-run a search on a schedule |
| Coverage | Anywhere Google Maps covers | US businesses |

Measured on real leads
What a LeadMarina lead comes with.
97%
of leads come with a phone, almost every one checked for mobile and carrier
About 4 in 10
have a mobile number
About 4 in 10
have an email checked safe to send to
About 1 in 5
come with the owner's name
2.6% had no usable phone or email. When a search returns one of those because we couldn't read the business's website, the lead goes back to your balance automatically.
Measured on a random sample of 52,279 leads delivered in the 30 days to October 29, 2026. How we measured
Finished leads only, with our own test account left out. A pooled figure leans toward the heaviest users, so here is the typical account too: 96% with a phone, 35% with a mobile number, 35% with an email checked safe, and 21% with the owner's name. Checked emails are labeled safe, risky, invalid or unknown, so you can see which ones to send to.
Who should pick which
Choose Apify if…
- You prospect outside the US.
- You are a developer who wants raw Google Maps fields (every review, photos, opening hours, competitor analysis) in your own pipeline, and will price each field.
- You already run other Apify Actors and want one platform and one bill.
Choose LeadMarina if…
- You want a finished lead (emails, socials, owner, verification) without pricing out each event before every run.
- You want contacts checked before they reach your sending tool: every email labeled safe, risky, invalid or unknown, and phones checked for line type and carrier.
- You want results in Google Sheets, Close or GoHighLevel, kept current by a scheduled search, without building the plumbing.

FAQ
Isn't Apify cheaper per place?+
Per raw place, it can be on Apify's Business plan ($1.50 per 1,000 places; $4 on its free plan, October 2026), and a small one-off run can cost less in total, since you pay only for the places you pull. But a place is not a lead until it has a contact you can use. Add company contacts enrichment for the website's emails, then business leads enrichment and email verification if you want checked addresses, and the cost of each usable contact rises with every event, at rates that vary by Apify plan. LeadMarina's price per lead already includes the website read, the emails and phones, and their verification.
Does LeadMarina have an API like Apify?+
Yes: a key-authenticated REST API on every plan, Free included, and a remote MCP server so Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor can run searches and exports for you.
Can I try both for free?+
Apify's free plan includes $5 of platform usage a month. LeadMarina's free plan is 100 verified leads, with no credit card.
