Questions

Is Outscraper cheaper than Storefinch?

At small volumes, yes: its free tiers cover 500 places and 500 email lookups a month, and about 3,000 enriched places cost less than $19. Above that, Storefinch's flat $19 is cheaper; 25,000 enriched places cost up to about $147 at Outscraper's published rates.

Is Outscraper's data fresher?

Yes. It scrapes Google Maps when you run a job. Storefinch is rebuilt monthly from Overture Maps open data, so very new businesses may be missing, but every query answers instantly.

What about the 400-place limit?

Outscraper's own SDK says one query returns no more than 400 places and suggests narrower categories or locations to get more. Storefinch queries a city, state or radius directly, with exports of up to 5,000 rows each on Pro.

Can I keep and reuse the data?

Outscraper's public terms don't address reuse of results (that's in an agreement shown at signup) or Google's terms. Storefinch data carries open licenses (CDLA-Permissive-2.0, Apache-2.0, CC0) that allow storage and reuse with attribution.

Do both work with AI agents?

Yes. Outscraper has an official MCP server with 28 tools; enriched searches run as jobs the agent polls. Storefinch's 8 tools return results directly.
