What free actually means here

Most 'free' scrapers are a trial, a demo, or a tool that works until you try to export.

Three things usually hide behind the word. A trial works for a week and then asks for a card. A demo shows you ten results and blurs the rest. And the one that stings: a tool that scrapes for free and then charges to download what it scraped. None of those is a free scraper. They are a paid scraper with a free preview.

GMapsScout's free plan is a working tier. It has a monthly cap, and inside that cap everything works — scanning, enrichment, scoring, notes, export to CSV, Excel, Google Sheets and JSON. The cap resets every month. There is no card on file to charge and no date it stops.

What the free plan includes — and does not

Both columns, because a page that only lists the first is the kind of page this one is warning you about.

Not on the free plan

  • More than 500 leads a month. That is one focused campaign — one trade in one metro — not a state.
  • More than 50 leads a day. A single Maps search can yield more than that, so a big scan on free will stop at the cap and tell you.
  • More than 250 enrichments a month. Enrich the rows worth contacting, not all of them.
  • Priority support. Free users get the same email address, answered after paying customers.

On the free plan

  • Local Scan, Radius Scan and Auto Scan — all three scanning modes.
  • Enrichment: public email, owner name, social profiles, website signals.
  • Lead scoring, Pain Score, GBP completeness, unanswered reviews.
  • Pipeline status and notes on every lead.
  • Export of all 45 columns to CSV, Excel, Google Sheets and JSON — no export lock.
  • Leads stored in your own browser. Nothing uploaded to us.

Limits are enforced when you scan, not when you export — so the leads you have are always yours to download. Paid plans raise the caps: see pricing.

What 500 leads a month gets you

It sounds small next to '500,000'. In practice it is about the size of one real outreach campaign.

A typical local-service search — "roofers in Denver" — returns somewhere between 60 and 200 businesses. Enriching those and filtering to the ones with no website or under ten reviews leaves 30 to 80 worth contacting. That is a week of outreach for one person. Do that for one trade in one metro and you have used a fraction of the month.

Where free runs out is breadth: several trades, several metros, or a whole-state Auto Scan. That is what the paid plans are for, and the free plan is how you find out whether the data is good enough to pay for before you do.

    Everything on the free plan. The first spreadsheet is a few minutes away.

Questions

Is there a catch?
The cap. 500 leads and 250 enrichments a month is the whole limit. There is no export fee, no trial expiry, and no card to forget to cancel. If you need more than that, you pay for a bigger cap — that is the business model, and it is the only one.
Why is it not on the Chrome Web Store?
Chrome's store policies restrict extensions that extract business data in bulk, as a category. Most serious scraping tools are distributed directly for the same reason. You load it yourself in developer mode, which is a supported Chrome feature — the download page walks through it.
Does free include email enrichment?
Yes — 250 enrichments a month. Enrichment visits each business's website and profile looking for a public email, an owner name and social profiles. It is best-effort: where a business has published nothing, no tool can invent it.
Can I download the free version and never pay?
Yes. Plenty of people do. The free plan is not a funnel that closes; it is the product with a cap.
