scrap.io is a cloud service for extracting Google Maps data by category and area, sold as a monthly subscription. Google Maps Contact Extractor is the desktop alternative: a one-time licence, unlimited local extraction, and results that stay on your machine.
When scrap.io is the better fit
If you want a purely in-browser experience with no install and map-based selection, scrap.io is convenient for occasional pulls.
When the desktop tool wins
For steady or high-volume work, a flat licence is more economical than a recurring subscription, and your leads never leave your PC. You install once and extract as much as you need.
