Score lands on every lead, free
Deterministic 0–100 Quality Score on every result — no extra credit, no extra wait. Sort to High Quality before you pay 1 credit for an enrichment.
Native MCP server
Remote endpoint for Claude.ai (OAuth 2.1) + stdio package for Claude Desktop, Cursor, Claude Code. Same tools as the REST API.
These are the two axes where LocalLeads is genuinely different. Everything else — search, enrichment, export — is table stakes. Quality Score · MCP
Quick Verdict
LocalLeads is the most practical Google Maps lead extractor for non-technical sales teams and agencies.
Predictable monthly credit allowance (Professional from €15.83/mo on annual; Business at €41.66/mo on annual) with enrichment as an option — 1 credit per result, +1 only when enrichment finds a verified email, nothing when it fails. Works out cheaper than pay-per-record competitors at similar volume.
Best for: Regular weekly/monthly local business prospecting.
Not ideal for: Developers who need API-first tools or enterprise teams needing millions of records.
What Is LocalLeads?
LocalLeads is a cloud-based tool that extracts business data from Google Maps. You search a niche and location — ‘accountants in Bristol’, ‘yoga studios in Amsterdam’, ‘car dealers in São Paulo’ — and get back a list of matching businesses with their name, phone number, website, address, and (on paid plans) verified email addresses.
It's built by EtherLabz and part of the PostOrbit umbrella. For now, LocalLeads is the only product in the suite that's live — a cold-email sender and CRM sit on the roadmap, but today most users pipe LocalLeads exports into tools like Instantly or Smartlead for sending.
Pricing Breakdown (2026)
| Plan | Price (Monthly) | Price (Annual) | Credits/mo | Features |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | €0 | — | Preview only | 20 free preview leads, Quality Score on every row, no card |
| Professional | €19.99/mo | €189.96/yr (€15.83/mo) | 1,200 | Quality Score filters, MCP for Claude/Cursor, REST API, Sheets/CSV export |
| Business | €49.99/mo | €499.90/yr (€41.66/mo) | 5,000 | Everything in Professional + full API + team OAuth for MCP + dedicated support |
How credits are charged: each business result costs 1 credit. Email enrichment costs 1 additional credit, but only when it successfully finds a verified address — failed enrichments are free. Enrichment is an option included in every paid plan, not a separate subscription.
On any paid plan, you can buy additional credit packs if you run over your monthly allowance:
| Pack | Credits | Price | Cost per Lead |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter Pack | 250 | €3.75 | €0.015 |
| Popular Pack | 500 | €6.75 | €0.0135 |
| Value Pack | 1,000 | €15.00 | €0.015 |
| Scale Pack | 2,500 | €33.75 | €0.0135 |
Annual plans save 17% and are recommended if you're running consistent monthly prospecting. The break-even point vs monthly is month 3 — if you're still using it after 3 months, go annual.
Data Quality: What We Found
We tested LocalLeads across 12 searches in different cities and industries. Our findings:
| Data Field | Accuracy | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Business name | 99% | Matches Google Maps listing exactly |
| Phone number | 95% | Occasional disconnected numbers on very old listings |
| Website URL | 97% | Very accurate; rare instances of outdated URLs |
| Address | 98% | Highly accurate; sometimes missing suite/floor numbers |
| Email enrichment | 45–65% | Varies by industry; service businesses score highest |
The 45–65% email match rate for SMBs is consistent with industry standards — Hunter.io and similar tools achieve similar rates for local businesses. The key differentiator is that LocalLeads includes this enrichment without an additional subscription.
Ease of Use
We clocked our first search to results at 1.8 seconds. No configuration, no API keys, no browser extension. The interface is clean: a search bar, results list, and an export button. That's it.
For a team member who has never used a Google Maps scraper before, the learning curve is approximately zero. This is a genuine advantage over tools like Apify or Outscraper that require at least 30 minutes of setup to get a first result.
What Could Be Better
- The free tier only shows teaser/preview results — you can't export or see full data without signing up. Some competitors let you export a small batch free.
- The credit pack sizes (max 2,500) mean very high-volume teams (10k+ leads/month) may find Business plan + packs less economical than pure pay-per-use.
- Decision-maker enrichment (owner names, LinkedIn profiles) is not yet available — this is on the Q3 2026 roadmap and would significantly increase the tool's value for B2B outreach.
Who Is It Best For?
| User Type | Verdict | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Solo freelancer / consultant | ✓ Excellent | Professional plan at €16.66/mo annual is very affordable; 1,200 leads/mo is plenty |
| Small marketing agency (2–5 people) | ✓ Excellent | 1,200 credits covers weekly prospecting; email enrichment saves a separate tool cost |
| Mid-size agency (5–20 people) | ✓ Good | Business plan at €41.66/mo annual for 5,000 credits + credit packs for spikes |
| Enterprise / large sales team | ⚠ OK | May need multiple Business plans or API integration; decision-maker data not yet available |
| Developer needing API | ✓ Good | API available on Professional and Business plans |
| Non-technical user, first scraper | ✓ Perfect | Zero setup, free preview, clean UI |
Final Score
| Category | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | 9/10 | Best predictable credit pricing; enrichment included as an option (only charged when successful) |
| Data quality | 8/10 | Excellent on core fields; email enrichment rates are industry-standard |
| Ease of use | 10/10 | Zero configuration, results in 30-60 seconds |
| Feature depth | 7/10 | Decision-maker data coming; integrations limited for now |
| Customer support | 8/10 | Email support on Professional; dedicated on Business |
| Overall | 8.5/10 | Best option for most non-technical sales teams and agencies |

Frequently asked questions
How much does LocalLeads cost?
Three tiers. Starter is free (no card) — 20 preview leads with Quality Score on each. Professional is €15.83/month on annual (1,200 credits/month included), with Quality Score filters and MCP for Claude/Cursor. Business is €41.66/month on annual (5,000 credits/month), with full API and team OAuth. Each business result costs 1 credit; email enrichment costs 1 extra credit only when it finds a verified address — failed enrichments are free. Credit packs (250 / 500 / 1,000 / 2,500) require no subscription and start at €3.75 / $4.49 / £3.49.
What data fields does LocalLeads extract?
Business name, phone number, website, full address, and (on paid plans) verified email addresses. Category, rating, and review count are also available. What's not yet available: owner names and LinkedIn profiles — that decision-maker enrichment layer is on the 2026 roadmap.
How accurate is LocalLeads email enrichment?
45–65% match rate on local SMBs, varying by industry. Service businesses with active websites (dentists, law firms, agencies) score highest; restaurants and retail score lowest. That's consistent with the industry benchmark — Hunter.io and similar tools achieve the same rates on this segment.
Does LocalLeads have an API?
Yes. Professional includes the REST API and MCP server (for Claude / Cursor / Claude Code). Business adds higher rate limits and team OAuth for shared MCP access. You can trigger searches programmatically and pull results, or drive the whole pipeline from an AI agent via MCP.
Is LocalLeads GDPR compliant?
The data extraction itself is from public Google Maps listings, which sits within the public-data framework courts have consistently upheld. For downstream usage (sending email to EU contacts), you're responsible for lawful basis — typically legitimate interest for B2B, with a clear opt-out.
How does LocalLeads compare to Apify or Outscraper?
Apify is a developer platform — flexible but requires setup and per-run costs can be unpredictable. Outscraper is pay-per-record; good for bursty volume, expensive for regular weekly prospecting. LocalLeads uses a predictable monthly credit allowance with enrichment built in as an option — 1 credit per result, 1 extra credit only when enrichment succeeds, nothing when it fails. For consistent monthly use (~1,000–5,000 leads/month), that works out cheaper than pay-per-record pricing, but it's less flexible than Apify for custom extraction logic.
