Rule 01
A period opens with your first task
Starting a task with no active billing period opens one. It closes when you click Generate Invoice or automatically after one month, and the invoice covers everything above the free tiers.

Outscraper is pay as you go with no subscription. Google Maps places cost nothing for the first 500 a month, $3 per 1,000 up to 100,000 and $1 per 1,000 after that. The number that matters for a lead list is the stack: contacts, email checks and phone lookups are separate services, so a fully enriched lead costs about $14 per 1,000 at normal volumes.

Students and nonprofits can ask for a discount, and the referral program pays 35% of a referred customer's payments to your balance.
The billing period
Rule 01
Starting a task with no active billing period opens one. It closes when you click Generate Invoice or automatically after one month, and the invoice covers everything above the free tiers.
Rule 02
The $1 business rate on Maps needs 100,000 places in the period. Reviews, contacts and phones each climb their own ladder, so a large Maps month does not make your phone lookups cheaper.
Rule 03
The results guarantee is a full refund within 3 days if the tools fail to retrieve data. Card payment runs through Stripe and Bitcoin is accepted.
The stack
| Step | Medium rate per 1,000 | Running total per 1,000 leads |
|---|---|---|
| Google Maps place | $3 | $3 |
| Contacts from the business domain | $3 | $6 |
| Email verification | $3 | $9 |
| Phone number lookup with carrier type | $5 | $14 |
So the headline $3 turns into roughly $14 per 1,000 fully checked leads, or 1.4 cents a lead. That is still cheap. The point is to budget for the stack, not the headline. Not every business lists a website, so the contact step runs on fewer rows than the Maps step, and some domains return more than one email, so the verification step can run on more. If the email column is the whole job and Maps is only how you find the companies, an email finder with verification built in can replace the last three rows of this table with one lookup.
Worked bills
Bill 01
2,000 plumbers in Phoenix: 1,500 billable places, $4.50. Contacts on the 1,600 that list a website: 1,100 billable domains, $3.30. Total $7.80. A plan of any kind would be the wrong purchase here.
Bill 02
Places $73.50, contacts on 20,000 domains $58.50, 20,000 emails verified $59.93, 25,000 phone lookups $124.88. Total about $316.81, and it lands again next month if the list is refreshed.
Bill 03
Weekly place refresh is 6,000 places, $16.50. The 50 newest reviews per listing each month is 75,000 reviews, $223.50. Total $240, before anyone builds the week-over-week comparison.
Bill 01 is where Outscraper shines. Bills 02 and 03 are where buyers start comparing: at $240 to $317 a month for a recurring job, a flat plan that includes scheduling, alerts and delivery is in the same range. On WebRobot, bill 03 is 81,000 records, which fits Scale at $249 with change alerts to Slack included.
Not on the invoice
Contacts are emails, phones and social profiles. "Offers financing", "books online", "lists prices" or "service area" are not a service, so someone reads each site or writes a scraper for it.
State license lookups, franchise locators, association directories and portals behind a login have no Outscraper service. They need a scraper that reads any site.
A weekly rerun gives you a new file. Working out which businesses are new, which closed and whose rating dropped is your spreadsheet or your code.
Results come as CSV, Excel, Parquet or JSON, or through the API. Pushing them into a CRM, a shared Google Sheet or Slack is a step you add.

| Maps list plus fields read from each website | WebRobot Launch, $79 | One robot reads both, 10,000 records a month |
| Maps plus directories or portals Outscraper does not cover | WebRobot | Reads any site, logins on Scale and up |
