LeadMarina vs Instant Data Scraper

The short version

Choose Instant Data Scraper if the page in front of you already shows what you need, and a free one-off copy is enough.

Choose LeadMarina if you need the contacts the page doesn't show, read from each business's website and checked before you send or dial.

Instant Data Scraper is a free Chrome extension with a million users on the Chrome Web Store. Open a page, and it guesses where the table of data is, follows the Next button or infinite scroll, and saves what it finds as CSV or Excel. It runs in your browser, and per its store listing the data never leaves it.

That makes it a good way to copy a list you can already see. A lead list needs more than the page shows: a business listing rarely carries an email, so each business's website still has to be read, and the emails and phones still have to be checked. LeadMarina does those steps on every lead before you export it.

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.

  • You need data from many kinds of sites, not only local businesses, and the page already shows what you need.
  • You need a one-off list and would rather spend your own time than pay for one.
  • You want the data never to leave your browser.

Choose LeadMarina if…

  • You need the contacts the page doesn't show: emails and socials read from each business's own website, and owner names where found.
  • You want every email SMTP-checked, and phones checked for line type and carrier, before you send or dial.
  • You want the same search re-run on a schedule and delivered to a sheet or CRM.

FAQ

Can Instant Data Scraper get emails from Google Maps?+

It copies what a page shows, and a Google Maps listing shows a name, rating, address, and phone number, rarely an email. Getting emails means visiting each business's website, which the extension does not do. LeadMarina reads each website, SMTP-checks the emails it finds and checks phones for line type and carrier.

Is LeadMarina free too?+

There is a free plan: 100 verified leads, every email SMTP-checked and phones checked for line type and carrier, no credit card. Paid plans: $39 / $119 / $299 for 15k / 65k / 240k verified leads, or $699 Unlimited (up to 210,000 leads per 7-day period).
