LocalStitch vs. Scrap.io (2026): Which is Right for You?
Scrap.io gives you massive CSV exports from Google Maps. LocalStitch gives you verified, AI-researched leads ready for outreach. Here's how a raw scraper compares to a full sales platform.
The Bottom Line
A quick summary before we dive deep.
AI-powered local lead intelligence platform
A complete sales platform that combines Google Maps discovery with AI research agents, waterfall contact enrichment, and Smart Lists. Built for sales teams who want actionable leads—not spreadsheets full of raw data to clean.
Cloud-based Google Maps scraper
A dedicated Google Maps scraping tool with 200M+ indexed establishments across 195 countries. Point, click, export. Great for bulk data extraction at scale—especially if you need raw business listings from entire countries and can process the data yourself.

Scrapers give you a CSV. LocalStitch gives you actionable leads.

- Waterfall enrichment finds and verifies real contacts
- No coding, no CSV wrangling, no extra tools needed

Pick the Right Tool
Choose LocalStitch if you...
- Sell to local businesses and need leads ready for outreach
- Want AI to research each business, not just scrape it
- Need verified decision-maker contacts that won't bounce
- Want a visual platform with Smart Lists, filters, and collaboration
- Don't want to process CSVs or build your own enrichment pipeline
Choose Scrap.io if you...
- Need bulk data from Google Maps across 195 countries
- Want to export entire countries or regions in a few clicks
- Have your own tools to clean, enrich, and process raw data
- Prioritize volume and low cost-per-lead over data quality
- Need data for market research or analytics, not direct outreach
The Bottom Line
Scrap.io is impressive. 200M+ indexed businesses, 195 countries, and the ability to export an entire country's worth of Google Maps data in two clicks. If you need raw business listings at scale, it's one of the best scrapers out there—and it's affordable.
But a spreadsheet of 50,000 businesses isn't a pipeline. You still have to figure out who to contact, verify their email actually works, and research whether they're a good fit. That's where most of the real work happens—and Scrap.io doesn't help with any of it.
LocalStitch handles the entire workflow: discover businesses on Google Maps, run AI research to qualify them, find and verify the right decision-maker's contact info, and organize everything in Smart Lists your team can actually work. It costs more than a raw scraper—because it does more than scrape.
