A Scrap.io alternative: SweepLead vs Scrap.io
Last updated: 5 November 2026
Scrap.io is the better choice if you want an API, an MCP server, Apple Maps and Bing Maps, or collection on its servers. SweepLead costs less for a sales team that needs business emails every month, and a whole country, at a flat price. Scrap.io sells monthly export credits, with the area you can search set by the plan. SweepLead reads Google Maps in your own Chrome for a flat monthly price, emails included. SweepLead is our product, so weigh what follows accordingly.
Side by side

What 10,000 and 100,000 listings with emails cost
| Listings in a month | Scrap.io, monthly billing | Scrap.io, yearly billing (per month) | SweepLead |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10,000 | $59 (Basic: first email only, city searches) or $119 (Professional: all emails) | $39 or $79 | £9.90 (Pro) |
| 100,000 | $599 (Company) | $399 (Company) | £9.90 (Pro) |
How we counted: one export credit per place, so 10,000 places fit in Basic's 10,000 credits and 100,000 in Company's 100,000. Basic keeps only the first email of each place, hence the Professional line for all emails. For SweepLead, both volumes fit in the Pro plan's 150,000 listings; a whole country adds a country plan at £14.90, bought once.
Where Scrap.io is the better choice
- API and MCP server. Scrap.io can be queried from a REST API or from an AI assistant through its MCP server. SweepLead exports Excel or CSV files, nothing more.
- More maps and more ways to search. Scrap.io also reads Apple Maps and Bing Maps, finds the business behind a phone number, email or domain, and completes a CSV file you upload. SweepLead reads Google Maps searches.
- Speed and your computer. Scrap.io runs on its servers. SweepLead runs in your browser, at a human pace: our grid test collected 1,016 listings in about 26 minutes, and Chrome stays open meanwhile.
- A quick look at one listing, for free. Its free Chrome extension, Maps Connect, shows the email and social links under each Google Maps listing: 55 of the 120 in our test, read one listing at a time, with no export. The extensions we tested.
Where SweepLead is the better choice
- A bill that does not grow with volume. One flat price, emails included: 150,000 listings a month on Pro, no credits to count.
- A whole country without the top plan. A Google Maps search stops at about 120 businesses. SweepLead repeats the search from every point of a country plan and keeps each business once. How the grid works.
- A free plan with no time limit: 200 listings every month, 50 of them with email, with no account or card.
- Your listings stay on your computer. Collection runs in your Chrome; our server only receives your licence key and a randomly generated device ID.
- Cancel in one click from the extension, under "Plan and licence".
