Why not build it yourself
Three ways to get Google Maps data into your app.
| Compare | Toolzer Hub | Google Places API | Your own scraper |
|---|---|---|---|
| Setup | One API key | Cloud billing account, field masks | Proxies, sessions, retries |
| When Google Maps changes | We fix it | Google keeps it working | You fix the parser |
| Cost to start | 100 free credits a month | Billed per field tier | Proxies and your time |
Want to try it yourself first? Our free google-maps-scraper on GitHub covers places, details, reviews (walkthrough).
