Lyre Leads
HasData and five alternatives, compared
Prices, free tiers, emails and API access as each vendor states them on its own site. Who each one suits, in our view, is in the table further down.
| Tool | How it finds businesses | Cheapest plan and free tier | Emails and verification | API and AI assistants |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| HasDataSources: depth test, API docs, pricing, Maps scraper docs, Maps scraper, Maps API, MCP docs | Maps API: one keyword at one map point, paged 20 at a time. Its own test found a search stops at 36 to 256 results, and it advises splitting the area and deduplicating. | Startup $59 ($49 billed yearly): 200,000 credits. A Google Maps row costs 3 credits on the no-code scraper. Free tier: 1,000 credits a month (about 333 Maps places), no card. | Optional on the no-code Maps scraper, found by crawling each business's website, at extra credits per row (the Maps API returns none). No verification documented; HasData calls its Maps output "public business contacts, not verified leads". | API on every plan, Free included, and an MCP server with Google Maps tools. |
| OutscraperSources: API docs, app, Maps prices, email prices | One Google Maps search per query, up to 500 places. For dense areas it tells you to split the query; the app can split a city by zip code or neighbourhood. | No subscription. Google Maps places: first 500 free, then $3 per 1,000 up to 100,000, then $1 per 1,000. Emails and contacts are priced separately, from $3 per 1,000 sites. Free tier: First 500 Google Maps places and 500 website email lookups free each billing period; a card or prepaid credits needed to start. | A separately billed Emails & Contacts service reads each business website for emails, phones and social links. A separate, billed Email Address Verifier checks the mailbox (SMTP). | REST API with official SDKs in six languages. |
| Apify Google Maps ScraperSources: Maps scraper, Maps pricing, plans, Maps inputs, MCP, API docs | Splits the location you give it into many map screens (or a polygon you draw) to get past the 120-per-search limit, then merges the places. | Starter $19 a month of prepaid usage; the Maps scraper costs $3 per 1,000 places on Starter. Emails and verification are paid add-ons. Free tier: $5 of usage a month, no card: up to 1,250 places. The leads and verification add-ons cost $100 per 1,000 on Free. | Paid add-ons: company emails and social profiles from the business website, or employee names and work emails from a leads add-on. Paid add-on that checks the mailbox (ok, invalid, catch-all), but only for emails from the leads add-on, not website emails. | REST API, clients in seven languages, and an MCP server documented for ChatGPT and Claude. |
| Bright DataSources: API docs, dataset, Maps scraper, output fields, MCP docs | Scraper searches one map point per input (latitude, longitude, zoom, keyword), thousands of inputs per call. Also sells a stored Google Maps dataset of 328.2M+ records. | Pay as you go at $1.50 per 1,000 records, or Scale at $499 with 384,000 records included. Free tier: 5,000 free records a month, no card. | No email field in the documented Google Maps output. Not applicable: the Maps output carries no emails. | API, SDKs, webhooks and cloud delivery; an MCP server with 5,000 free requests a month. |
| Scrap.ioSources: guide, categories help, pricing, trial help, emails, API docs, MCP help, home | Filters its own stored index (225,676,406 listings in 195 countries, by its count) by Google category and area, up to a whole country. No free-text keyword search. | Basic €49, priced in euros (€35 billed yearly): 10,000 export credits, one per place. Whole-country search needs the €499 Company plan. Free tier: No free plan; a 7-day trial with a card covers up to 50 searches and 100 export credits. | Up to 5 emails per business, found on its website, each with the page it came from. API documents mail-server checks only (MX record, provider, webmail, disposable). Its marketing calls the emails verified in real time. | REST API and an MCP server (Claude, ChatGPT) on every plan. |
| Lyre Leads (ours)Sources: coverage test, pricing, how we verify, API docs, features | Live Google Maps search for any keyword. Complete coverage mode searches a city from many overlapping points and merges on place ID (median 2.2x one paged search in 24 US tests). | Growth $39: 7,500 leads (a lead is one new business, enriched and relevance-checked). Unused leads roll over up to three months. Free tier: 500 leads a month, no card. | Company email read off the business's own website, never guessed. Named contacts on request, 2 tokens each, charged only when one is found. Every address checked at the mailbox (SMTP, through MillionVerifier), included. Catch-all addresses are labelled, never counted as verified. | REST API, webhooks and an MCP server on every plan, Free included; Claude and ChatGPT connect with a sign-in, no key to paste. |

Which HasData alternative verifies emails?
HasData is upfront that its Maps output is "public business contacts, not verified leads". Its no-code Maps scraper can crawl each website for emails at extra credits per row (its own docs give two different prices for that, 10 credits and 5), and the Maps API returns none. Nothing in the documented output says whether an address works.
Lyre Leads checks every address it finds at the mailbox, through MillionVerifier, inside the plan, and labels catch-all addresses rather than counting them as verified. Outscraper sells a separate SMTP verifier. Apify's verification add-on covers emails from its leads add-on only. Scrap.io's API documents mail-server checks rather than a mailbox check, and Bright Data's Maps output has no emails. In our study of 2,482 emails scraped from business websites, 14.2% of the addresses a mailbox check could decide were dead (the decay study).
Which alternative covers a city without the splitting?
HasData measured the problem itself: five searches paged until they ran dry stopped at 36 rows for florists in Missoula, 140 for restaurants in New York, 142 for bakeries in Boise, 200 for plumbers in Columbus and 256 for dentists in Chicago. Its advice is to split the area by neighbourhood or the category by type and deduplicate by place ID, and its no-code scraper removes duplicates across adjacent queries for you.
Apify's Google Maps Scraper does the splitting itself, by map screens. Outscraper splits a city by zip code or neighbourhood on request. Bright Data takes thousands of map points in one call but leaves the grid to you, and Scrap.io filters a stored index instead of searching. Lyre Leads in complete coverage mode searches a city from many overlapping points and merges on place ID; in our test of 24 trade-and-city pairs that found about 2.2 times as many businesses as one paged search in the median city (method and numbers).
Is HasData the cheapest?
For raw rows it's among the cheapest. HasData puts 1,000 Maps rows at $0.25 to $0.89 on its paid plans, starting at $59 a month ($49 billed yearly) for 200,000 credits, with 1,000 free credits a month and failed requests refunded; unused credits expire each period. Bright Data charges $1.50 per 1,000 records pay as you go. Apify's Maps scraper runs from $3 per 1,000 down to $1.50 on its Business plan, and Outscraper from $3 down to $1 past 100,000 places. Lyre Leads costs more per row, $39 for 7,500 leads, because each lead includes the enrichment, the relevance check and the verified email.
When is HasData still the better choice?
When the deliverable is data inside your own product: a directory, a market map, an internal dashboard. HasData offers its API on every plan including Free, dozens of scraping endpoints beyond Maps, no-code scrapers on the same credit balance, webhooks, and an MCP server with dedicated Google Maps tools. If your engineers already own the splitting, deduplication and checking, it's an efficient way to buy rows.
When is Lyre Leads the wrong choice?
- You want the lowest price per raw row. HasData and Bright Data win that.
- You scrape sources other than Google Maps. We read Maps and each business's own website only.
- Your territory is small towns, where one search already reaches nearly every business.
Which one fits your campaign?
| If you need | Look at | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Cheap Maps rows inside your own product | HasData | Low price per row, API on every plan |
| Maps rows plus website emails and a verifier, per record | Outscraper | Pay as you go, each step billed separately |
| A whole city scraped without designing the split | Apify Google Maps Scraper | Splits the location into map screens itself |
| Web data at engineering scale with compliance review | Bright Data | Scrapers, datasets and proxies |
| A whole Google category across a region | Scrap.io | Stored index, count first |
| A list a sales team can send to this week | Lyre Leads | Enrichment, relevance check and verified emails included |
How do you test them before you pay?
Run one trade in one city over 200,000 people through HasData's free credits and the alternative's free tier. Remove duplicates on Google's place ID, count only businesses inside the city, then put every email through one mailbox verifier. If you're building a product, price per unique row decides it. If you're building a campaign, price per deliverable address does.
