Five jobs,
or one run.
Outscraper sells scrapers one surface at a time, each its own job with its own output. Kavex runs the whole chain once and hands you a single file. Almost everything in the table below follows from that one difference.
There is not a single invented Outscraper number on this page. We compare structure, which anyone can check. Where we cannot verify something from the outside, the cell says so and sends you to their pricing page.
THIS IS THE LINE KAVEX ENDS EVERY RUN WITH · WHAT IT FOUND, HOW LONG IT TOOK, WHAT IT COST
Structure, not adjectives.
Seven things that decide which of the two fits the way you work. Read the right column with their pricing page open.
Forty-five scrapers open the live page the second you press Run. Nothing is served from an old copy, because there is no stored copy.
Scrapers you buy per surface, priced per result. Each one is its own job with its own output, so a chain is something you assemble yourself. Check their docs for what each scraper returns.
Delivered results. A Google Maps lead is 2 credits, so $2 per thousand, and 1 credit is $0.001. What a run did not find comes straight back to your balance.
Delivered results too, but every scraper carries its own published rate and enrichment is a separate line on the bill. Check their current plan for the rate on the ones you need.
Forty-five, and they are different in kind: Google Maps places, LinkedIn people, Trustpilot reviews, Booking properties, Indeed jobs, Amazon products, Reddit threads.
A broad catalogue, wider than ours on long-tail surfaces. For the specific source you have in mind, check their catalogue before you count on it.
They never expire. Top up in March, use the rest in December, nobody resets anything at midnight.
Credits are bought in packs. Check their current plan for what happens to a balance you did not spend.
CSV with no row cap, every column the run produced. The same rows over the API, on the same credits.
Export is per job, so a chained workflow ends in several files you merge yourself. Check their docs for the export shape.
One pot of credits, five people, one invoice. Nobody is charged for the month they did not run anything.
Check their current plan for how a team shares one balance and one invoice.
Your first 500 Google Maps leads free, no card, no contract, no call.
There is a free allowance on signup. Check their current plan page for the size of it and for what it lets you export.
When to take Outscraper.
Three cases where we are the wrong tool. If one of them is you, buy theirs.
You need a surface we do not cover.
Their catalogue is wider on long-tail sources. If the one you need is on their list and not on ours, that settles it, and no amount of workflow polish on our side changes it.
You want every step as its own job.
Some teams would rather have one scraper, one output, and wire the pipeline themselves. Kavex chains it for you, which is the opposite of that on purpose.
You are running at their volume rate.
Their per-unit price compresses at large monthly volumes. Put their current plan next to two credits a lead before you move anything across.
No seats. Just a balance.
Top up whatever you want, whenever you want. A bigger top-up buys more credits for the same dollar, and every scraper has one published rate underneath.
CREDITS NEVER EXPIRE · NO SUBSCRIPTION, NO SEATS, NO CONTRACT · SAME PRICES OVER THE API
