SerpAPI-style Google Maps scraper API from $0.30 per 1K requests

API-first JSON

Use Scrappa like a SERP API: send HTTP requests and receive normalized Google Maps data.

Lower-cost Google Maps and SERP data without monthly lock-in

If you are comparing Scrappa with SerpAPI, Serper.dev, or a custom scraping stack, the decision usually comes down to first useful response, request cost, and how quickly your team can test real JSON.

Compare pricing Compare with SerpAPI Compare with Serper.dev
Decision point Scrappa Typical alternative
Entry testing 500 free monthly API credits, no card required Trial, plan decision, or one-time free allowance before testing at volume
Starting request cost $0.30 per 1,000 requests on the $10 credit pack Higher effective cost, monthly minimums, or larger prepaid top-ups

Questions before you test

Is this a Google Maps scraper or a Google Maps API?

It is an API for Google Maps scraping workflows. You send HTTP requests to Scrappa and receive structured JSON for searches, business details, reviews, photos, directions, and autocomplete, similar to how teams evaluate SERP APIs like SerpAPI or Serper.dev.

Can I use it for lead generation?

Yes. The common workflow is to search a category and location, then enrich each business with website, phone, address, rating, review count, coordinates, and other public profile fields.

How much does Google Maps scraping cost on Scrappa?

Every account receives 500 free credits each month. Paid credit packs start at $10 for 33,000 credits, which is about $0.30 per 1,000 requests.

Is Scrappa closer to SerpAPI or to a CSV scraping tool?

Scrappa is closer to a developer API like SerpAPI or Serper.dev. It returns structured JSON through authenticated API endpoints rather than focusing on manual CSV exports or browser extensions.

Do I need to run browser automation or proxies?

No. Scrappa handles the scraping infrastructure and returns normalized JSON through API endpoints, so your app can work with data instead of browser sessions.
