Scrap.io or AutoLeads: which alternative to choose in 2026?

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.

Quick context on both tools

Scrap.io is a Google Maps extraction tool at very large scale, published by a UK company. Their headline numbers: more than 225 million businesses across 195 countries, extraction advertised as real-time, and filters by website, phone, email, rating, reviews and social media. The tool has a clean UI, an API and an MCP server, and a cheap entry price at €49/month (€35/month billed yearly). Their core promise is volume: pulling tens of thousands of businesses in a few clicks.

AutoLeads is French, also focused on lead generation, but the architecture is different. Instead of stopping at Google Maps listings, AutoLeads runs live web searches at query time and offers 8 enrichment plugins, including a website audit (PageSpeed + 6 sales criteria), Google rating, paid ads detection via the Meta Ad Library, and sequences sent from your connected accounts or through Lemlist, Emelia or HubSpot. Signing up gives you one demo campaign, no credit card, then Starter at €249/month, Growth at €499/month, Scale at €899/month. The annual plan takes 20% off the monthly price.

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.

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.

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:

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.

Copy this scorecard, fill it in as the test runs, and let the numbers decide for you.

Conclusion

Scrap.io is a serious product with real strengths: scale, real-time extraction, solid filters, an API and an MCP server, a low entry price. 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 pricing in credits per enriched lead rather than per exported listing. 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.
