Google Maps lead tool vs Google Maps SERP API
GMaps Extractor (gmaps-extractor.com) is a web app for Google Maps lead generation: you choose category and location, set filters, and export contacts including emails and social—no code. DataForSEO provides a Google Maps SERP API: you send API requests and receive structured Maps data (listings, addresses, reviews, hours, etc.) for use in your own apps or SEO tools.
DataForSEO is pay-as-you-go (from about $0.0006 per SERP of 10 results), with no subscription but a $50 minimum deposit. It does not include email or social extraction in the API; you would add that in your pipeline. GMaps Extractor includes it and is aimed at non-technical users and lead-gen workflows.
Pricing: credits vs pay-per-SERP
GMaps Extractor uses monthly plans and export credits (see our pricing page). DataForSEO has no subscription for the Google Maps SERP API: you pay per request. Standard priority from ~$0.0006 per SERP (10 results), high priority ~$0.0012 per SERP; 1M SERPs from about $600 (Standard). $1 free on signup, $50 minimum deposit. Volume pricing available.
If you want predictable monthly cost and a ready-made UI, a credit-based tool like GMaps Extractor is simpler. If you want to pay only for what you call and integrate Maps data into your own product, DataForSEO's pay-as-you-go model can work well.
Who each product is for
GMaps Extractor is for sales teams, agencies, and anyone who needs Google Maps leads (with emails and social) without API work. DataForSEO is for developers and companies building SEO tools, dashboards, or data products that consume Google Maps SERP data via API.

Check DataForSEO's Google Maps SERP API and pricing pages for current limits (e.g. up to ~700 listings per search area) and exact rates. For a direct comparison of features and pricing, use both products' official pages.
