Scrap.io or AutoLeads: which alternative to choose in 2026?
Scrap.io is excellent at high-volume Google Maps scraping. AutoLeads goes further on enrichment and orchestration. Here is how to choose.
The starting point of this comparison is an internal test: same niche, same city, a Scrap.io list on one side, an AutoLeads batch on the other, 20 cold emails sent from each list with the same template. The Scrap.io list was ten times longer. The AutoLeads batch landed more replies. Neither result is a surprise: the two tools do different jobs, and the point of this article is to help you identify which of the two motions you are actually running.
We keep it factual. Same scope, same vocabulary, no cherry-picking. One note on scale: AutoLeads is a few months old, not a few years. Read the right-hand column as a recent promise, not a track record. If you are starting your evaluation, you can also read our article on B2B prospecting in a local niche to understand the market context.
- These are not two versions of the same tool: Scrap.io sells volume (a cached Google Maps index), AutoLeads sells qualification (live search + enrichment).
- The right decision criterion is not price per row, it is the reply rate per euro spent once the list runs through outreach.
- Scrap.io wins if your downstream absorbs the throughput (call centers, reselling). AutoLeads wins if the prospect's site feeds your pitch and you do cold email.
- Do not take our word for it: the scorecard below lets you decide in a week, on your own numbers, without talking to us.
Quick context on both tools
Scrap.io is a French SaaS that indexes Google Maps at very large scale. Their headline numbers: more than 200 million businesses indexed across 195 countries, a 7-day refresh on the database, and 17 structured filters to slice that index. They have a strong SEO presence on queries like "scrape Google Maps", a clean UI, and a cheap entry ticket at €49/month. Their core promise is volume: pulling tens of thousands of businesses in a few clicks.
AutoLeads is also French, also focused on lead generation, but the architecture is different. Instead of querying a cached index, AutoLeads runs live web searches at query time and stacks four enrichment plugins: a website quality score across 10 criteria, multi-source ratings aggregation, paid ads detection via the Meta Ad Library, and outreach orchestration via Instantly. Pricing starts free with 1 free week, no credit card, then Starter at €249/month, Growth at €499/month, Scale at €899/month. The annual plan gives 12 months for the price of 10.
Detailed comparison
Same dimensions, side by side. We deliberately list Scrap.io first on every row so you can read this as a Scrap.io review with an AutoLeads column, not the other way around.
Run a search on your own niche with your free week, no card required. Worst case, you lose ten minutes.
When to choose Scrap.io
Let us be direct: there are cases where Scrap.io is the right choice, and we tell you so plainly.
10,000+ leads per month, with a downstream process built to absorb that throughput (call centers, mass SMS, lead reselling): Scrap.io's cached index and pricing are very hard to beat.
If a business name, an address, a phone number and a category are enough for your team to move forward, paying for a website score or ads detection is wasted budget.
€49/month is an unbeatable price if your unit economics are tight and you optimize cost per row.
200M+ businesses across 195 countries are a real asset if you operate in markets where live querying is slower or restricted.
If you are a data company reselling enriched lists, Scrap.io is closer to the raw material you need.
When to choose AutoLeads
The motion AutoLeads is built for is different. It is about going from "10,000 rows in a spreadsheet" to "100 leads genuinely worth contacting this week". Our way of summing up the difference: Scrap.io gives you 10,000 rows, AutoLeads gives you 100 leads you can actually work. They are different products, not better or worse versions of each other.
Choose AutoLeads when:
Web agencies, SEO consultants, ad agencies, conversion specialists, designers. The website quality score (0 to 100 across 10 criteria) gives your email a concrete first line.
The native Instantly integration with AI-personalized first lines removes the CSV export + manual import step.
Live web search matters when you target recent openings, this month's paid ads, or fast-moving categories.
Multi-source ratings, Meta Ad Library detection and quality scoring together let you eliminate 80% of a list before it ever touches a sender.
The Scale plan (€899/month) adds white labeling and multi-account support to manage several niches in parallel.
For a concrete example of this motion, see how web agencies generate 50 qualified leads per month without LinkedIn or ads. The method only works because the upstream tool does enrichment, not just listing.
How to settle it in a week, without trusting us
A comparison never replaces your own test. The cheapest way to decide is to run both tools on the same niche × city, then compare a single number: reply rate per euro spent. For reference, a B2B cold email gets a reply 8.5% of the time on average in 2026: that is your benchmark for judging both lists.
Same input for both tools. Lock it before you start.
Note: number of rows, time to first row, usable structured fields.
Note: enriched fields, number of scores under 70, number of businesses running ads, actually contactable leads.
Same sender, same template, same subject line. Measure the reply rate at 7 days.
The best reply-per-euro ratio is the right tool for your motion. If they tie, choose on the motion, not the price. The call is yours, not ours.
Copy this scorecard, fill it in as the test runs, and let the numbers decide for you.

Scrap.io is a serious product with real strengths: scale, freshness on the cached index, solid filters, a mature brand, a low entry ticket. If your motion favors volume and your downstream handles qualification, it is probably the right choice. AutoLeads is built for the opposite motion: smaller lists, deeper enrichment, native outreach orchestration, and a price that scales with usage rather than seats. Most teams need one or the other. A few need both, in sequence. The worst-case scenario is paying for one when you needed the other. The few hours it takes to test both side by side are the best ROI you will land this quarter.
