Cost to scrape Google Maps at 10K, 100K, and 1M table

The comparison uses 10,000, 100,000, and 1,000,000 billable target calls or delivered results per month, calculated on 2026-07-26. It does not claim those calls all become useful rows. Credit, request, result, and search meters are passed through the dataset quote model, which selects the least expensive published self-service offer that covers each volume. A starting USD rate is shown as a lower bound because an unpublished minimum, tier, or contract can raise the invoice. Retries, pagination, duplicate outputs, taxes, and data licensing are outside these figures.

The published price answer

The record contains 3 published target-rate lines across 3 vendors. Those are the only rows allowed to produce a target-specific dollar result. Different light, normal, HTML, rendered, protected, or dedicated modes stay separate because collapsing them would hide the unit change that drives the bill. A plan name in a cell is the offer selected from that vendor record, not a recommendation.

Google SERP requests on all Google subdomains cost 25 credits. docs.scraperapi.com. Google domains cost 10 credits with residential routing applied by default. scrape.do. A Google Maps engine call consumes one SerpApi search. serpapi.com.

Rendering and access change the job

This record classifies Google Maps as hard and records rate limiting, CAPTCHA, bot detection and fingerprinting, IP reputation checks, geographic variation or restriction, dynamic rendering. JavaScript rendering is required in the recorded profile, so a plain HTML request is not the same workload. Residential routing is recorded as needed, but no generic proxy multiplier is silently added: the table applies only a vendor’s explicit target meter.

A search, map, shopping, and detail endpoint can return different records even when a vendor groups them under one Google product.

The official route is a separate product decision

Google Maps Places API is recorded as available. Requires a Google Cloud project, billing account, API key, and compliance with Maps Platform terms. Usage-based Google Maps Platform pricing with product-specific free monthly usage caps. Places API returns documented place data, not a field-for-field representation of the rendered Maps interface.

Endpoint evidence and the remaining unknown

The dataset confirms 5 dedicated endpoints or templates. This proves named target support in the cited product documentation. It does not prove that each endpoint has a public target-specific price.

• Google Maps API is paired with a published target meter in the cost table.
• Google Maps target is documented, while its target-specific price remains unpublished in this record.
• Google Maps API is paired with a published target meter in the cost table.
• Google Maps Scraper API is documented, while its target-specific price remains unpublished in this record.
• Google API with Maps support is documented, while its target-specific price remains unpublished in this record.

What volume means for Google Maps

One useful unit is one place observation for a defined query, geography, language, and refresh date. Discovery results, place details, and reviews are separate outputs, so a project that enriches every discovered place must add the detail or review requests to the search-page requests (Google Places Text Search, retrieved 2026-07-27; Scrape.do Maps Search, retrieved 2026-07-27).

Google Places Text Search returns at most 20 results per page and at most 60 results across all pages for one query, with nextPageToken continuing the result set. Scrape.do’s dedicated Maps Search endpoint documents up to 20 places in one response and uses start=20, start=40, and later offsets for additional pages. That makes a 60-place query three discovery calls before any detail or review work (Google Places Text Search, retrieved 2026-07-27; Scrape.do Maps Search, retrieved 2026-07-27).

The official Places API answers place discovery and supported place-detail questions without reproducing the rendered map. It does not promise every field, ranking treatment, review view, or presentation visible in Google Maps, so it is a substitute only when the required schema fits the Places product (Google Places API, retrieved 2026-07-27).

Evidence to check before buying

• ScraperAPI prices Google SERP requests on all Google subdomains at 25 credits docs.scraperapi.com.
• Scrape.do applies residential routing to Google domains at a 10-credit cost scrape.do.
• SerpApi and Oxylabs both operate separate Google Maps endpoints serpapi.com.
• Confirm the exact entity and output unit, whether a page, search, result, record, or API object. Then multiply by pagination and refresh frequency before selecting a plan.
• Fix the required country or market before pricing. The recorded geographic variation means one nominal URL can represent different jobs.
