gmapsextractor is a cloud tool with a free monthly credit tier and browser extensions. It is credit-based and cloud-hosted. Google Maps Contact Extractor is the desktop alternative: own the tool with a flat licence, extract without credits, and keep every result on your own PC.
When gmapsextractor is the better fit
If you want a quick in-browser grab or a small free monthly quota, its extension is handy.
When the desktop tool wins
When credits run out or volume grows, a flat desktop licence is more economical and predictable — and a mature, maintained product (since 2010) rather than a metered subscription.
