Outscraper Emails & Contacts Scraper or an Apify Actor? Getting the contacts each company website publishes
Partner programme opening soon: join the free waitlist. Planned terms are 50% of each referred sale (75% once you have 5+ paying customers), single level, paid through Gumroad only from revenue received.
Short answer: These two tools do nearly the same job, so the choice is mostly about price model and defaults. Outscraper's Emails & Contacts Scraper takes a list of domains and returns emails, phones and social profile links. Its pricing page (checked 23 Oct 2026) shows a Free Tier for usage before 500 domains, then $3 per 1,000 domains from 501 to 100,000, and $1 per 1,000 after 100,000, pay as you go with no monthly fee; its product page says billing is metered for the domains with found contacts and that it also uses third-party sources such as Facebook, LinkedIn and Google. Our Website Contact Scraper on Apify reads only each company's own website, keeps role inboxes by default, turns WhatsApp click-to-chat links into numbers and records the page where each detail was found. It is free during launch; you pay only Apify platform usage. If you already use Outscraper for Google Maps data, staying there is simpler.
The pain this page is about
“I exported 400 businesses from Google Maps. Now I need an email or WhatsApp number for each one, and I want to know where every contact came from.” Both tools answer this. The differences are what they read, what they keep by default and how you pay.

Who should pick Outscraper instead
- You already pull Google Maps places or reviews from Outscraper and want contacts in the same account and invoice.
- You want contacts gathered beyond the website, from sources such as Facebook or LinkedIn, and some names and titles.
- Your volume is very large: above 100,000 domains its published rate drops to $1 per 1,000.
Who our Actor fits better
- You want only what the business itself publishes, with the source page of every detail, which is easier to defend under India's DPDP Act or the GDPR.
- Your list is Indian SMEs, clinics, shops or dealers where WhatsApp numbers matter as much as email.
- You already work in Apify and want to chain it after a Google Maps Actor, schedule it and pay one platform bill.
Next step after the run: turn the scrape into a call sheet.
Try it on five of your own websites first
Actor fee: free during launch · you pay only Apify platform usage
The Website Contact Scraper: Emails, Phones & WhatsApp is a pay-per-usage Actor on Apify. Apify's own docs explain the model: you pay only for the platform resources the run uses, with no extra charge from the developer (Apify docs). Apify's free plan is $0 and includes $5 of platform usage a month, with no credit card (apify.com/pricing). We do not quote a cost per 1,000 sites, because it depends on the sites; Apify suggests a small test run to measure it. Sites that block bots, disallow crawling or forbid scraping in their terms are skipped and not charged. Built and published by Unadhi (disclosure).
Free gift: copy-paste input for a five-site test
Replace the five domains with real ones from your list. Check the rows by hand against two of the sites before you run hundreds. More walk-throughs: find public role emails on a company website · add emails and phones to a Google Maps export.
Frequently asked questions
Is Outscraper's Emails & Contacts Scraper free?
Its pricing page (checked 23 Oct 2026) shows a Free Tier for usage before 500 domains, renewing monthly. After that it is $3 per 1,000 domains up to 100,000 and $1 per 1,000 after.
Does Outscraper charge for domains where nothing is found?
Its product page says it uses monthly metered usage billing for the domains with found contacts. Check your invoice for the exact count.
Does the Unadhi Actor look at Facebook or LinkedIn like Outscraper?
No. It reads only the company's own website and reports the social links that site publishes. It does not log in to or scrape social networks.
Which is cheaper?
It depends on the sites. Outscraper publishes a per-1,000-domains rate; our Actor has no fee during launch and you pay Apify platform usage, which we do not quote per 1,000 sites because it varies. Run 20 of your own domains through both and compare.
What does the Unadhi Actor cost?
No Actor fee during launch. You pay Apify only for the platform usage of each run; Apify's free plan includes $5 of usage a month.
Not legal advice.
