6 best lead scraping tools in 2026

Bright Data

Bright Data’s Lead Scraper helps you collect contact details from LinkedIn, Google Maps, Crunchbase, and Indeed. It has two options for users with different levels of technical experience:

1. No-code scrapers come with ready-made templates for popular lead sources. You enter a URL or search, pick the sites and lead data you want, and choose how you wish to receive the results.
2. The Scraper APIs use JavaScript and have built-in tools to help you parse HTML. Templates are available for popular sites, including LinkedIn, Google Maps, Crunchbase, and Indeed or Glassdoor.

Pricing:

• With Pay-As-You-Go pricing, you usually pay $1.50 for every 1,000 records.
• Monthly subscriptions start at $499 per month for higher-volume orders, reducing the cost per record.

Apify

Apify provides the Contact Details Scraper for lead generation. This tool identifies contact information on web pages and collects additional lead contact details, including job titles and LinkedIn profiles linked to the domain. The tool uses a pay-per-event model, so you pay only for the data you extract rather than a flat platform fee.

Features:

• It supports MCP (Model Context Protocol), allowing integration with AI tools such as Claude Desktop. This enables automated contact information scraping on demand.
• No setup is required.

Pricing:

• Scraping costs are approximately $2.00 per 1,000 pages for the free trial and $1.05 per 1,000 pages for the business tier.
• Additional charges apply if you use residential proxies to prevent website blocks.

Lead Scrape

Lead Scrape is a local lead generation tool you can download for Windows or Mac. Unlike cloud-based scrapers like Apify, which charge per record, this software is available for download only.

Features:

• You can search for business leads by city, state, or region. In the US, you can also search by zip code.
• The tool can detect if a business is running Google or Facebook ads.

Pricing:

• Free trial: The software comes with a 14-day money-back guarantee.
• There are two main pricing tiers: standard and business. Monthly plans are not available.
  The standard plan extracts data from three different sources. It is limited to 200 results per search.
  The business plan costs $247 per year and is designed for individual users or small businesses. It extracts data from seven different sources. You can upload a list of cities or search an entire state or region. It returns up to 1,000 results per search.

PhantomBuster

PhantomBuster enables users to collect data from professional networks such as LinkedIn and Sales Navigator, as well as from local business platforms, including Google Maps and Yellow Pages.

Its main tools are search exports, which convert search results into organized spreadsheets, and profile scrapers, which extract details like verified email addresses and phone numbers from profiles.

Features:

• Built-in proxies enable you to extract web data from Google Maps or LinkedIn without additional configuration.
• You can send leads directly to HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, or Zapier, eliminating the need to download CSV files manually.

Pricing:

• Free trial: Use one Phantom for up to 30 minutes each month. Any Phantom task, such as a single LinkedIn scrape, can consume the entire 30-minute monthly allocation.
• Starter plan: €69 per month provides 20 hours of execution time, 5 simultaneous slots, and 1,000 URL finder credits. A slot allows you to run one Phantom at a time, and URL finder credits are used each time you search for an email address.

Octoparse

Unlike Lead Scrape, which targets local businesses, or PhantomBuster, which specializes in social media, Octoparse is a general-purpose web scraper.

Its visual interface lets you use a built-in browser to specify the data to collect. Octoparse offers a free local run and a paid cloud run. Local run stops if your laptop closes, while cloud run uses IP rotation. A paid plan with IP rotation is required to scrape over 5,000 leads.

Features:

• Octoparse includes an AI-powered auto-detect feature. When you paste a URL, it identifies names, phone numbers, and addresses, and automatically builds the scraping workflow.
• You can configure the bot to click the ‘Next’ button or scroll until all leads are collected.

Pricing:

• The free trial allows 10 tasks, local run only, and does not include API export.
• The standard plan starts at $89 per month and includes 100 tasks with cloud scraping.

Outscraper

Outscraper is a cloud-based tool for extracting local business data from Google Maps. Its Contact Scraper extension can automatically visit a business’s website via its Google Maps listing to collect email addresses, phone numbers, and social media profiles.

Outscraper uses a credit-based pricing model. Unlike Lead Scrape, which charges annually, or PhantomBuster, which charges by execution time, you pay per lead or per record.

Features:

• Outscraper includes a built-in email verifier and a phone number validator that identifies WhatsApp-enabled numbers.
• Dashboard with dropdown menus for parameter selection, enabling quick setup. However, it offers limited flexibility for unsupported websites.

Pricing:

• Free trial: 500 free credits per month, available forever.
• Google Maps data typically costs $28.50 for 10,000 records.
• Email and contact enrichment is an add-on, usually $0.005 per record, as the bot must visit each website to collect this information.
