Outscraper pricing, and the per-record math
The pay-as-you-go math, next to prepaid funds.
How much does Outscraper cost?
Outscraper meters Google Maps data per record, pay-as-you-go, no subscription. Figures from outscraper.com's pricing page, checked July 27, 2026.
| Monthly volume | Rate |
|---|---|
| First 500 records | Free, resets every 30 days |
| 501 to 100,000 | $3.00 per 1,000 |
| Above 100,000 | $1.00 per 1,000 |
Credit where due: pay-as-you-go with no monthly fee is the right model, and the $1 tier at scale is genuinely cheap. The rates are usage-based per calendar month, so the discount depends on re-reaching 100,000 records every month.
Where each side wins on price
Being specific, because the answer flips with volume.
Compare the cost for the endpoint and deposit amount you will actually use: $1.96 per 1,000 against $3.00. Past 100,000 in a single month, Outscraper's $1.00 tier beats our 500k pack rate of $1.10, and our 2.5M pack at $0.80 takes the lead back.
Free volume: their 500 records a month against our free tier.
Their prepaid deposits never expire either; what resets is the tier clock. The $1.00 discount depends on re-reaching 100,000 records every 30 days, while our pack rate is locked the day you buy.
A 20,000-record market pull
Free tiers included on both sides.
