Free business list, a scraper run or a bought list?
Start with the free map list to size the market and see the gaps, run a Google Maps data tool when you need phones, emails and ratings for every business, and buy a ready file only when you need verified named contacts and accept the vendor's licence. Published prices run from about $1 to over $400 per 1,000 records, depending on how much checking the seller does.
The three routes side by side
| Compared | Free map list (this site) | Run a data tool yourself | Buy a ready list |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rows | what OpenStreetMap holds: 443,940 named businesses on 2,207 lists here | what Google Maps returns for your searches | the vendor's count |
| Phones and emails | business phones where the record is clearly a business premises (the phone rule); emails are never republished, the CSV says whether the record has one | phone column, emails read from each business website | usually included; some vendors verify emails |
| Cost | free | Google Maps Business Lead & Email Finder: $0.99 per 1,000 results plus a $0.40 start fee (4 GB run) per run, so about$1.39 for 1,000 rows in one run, plus Apify platform usage (compute). The Free plan includes $5 a month (Apify pricing). | from a few dollars per city file to hundreds per 1,000 verified contacts (table below) |
| Freshness | the map extract date on each page | the day you run it | the vendor's last update |
| Licence | ODbL: credit OpenStreetMap, share changed copies alike | you run it on your account; check the tool's terms | the vendor's licence, often limited use |

The number that decides email yield
Tools that find emails read each business's own website, so a business with no website rarely yields one. Across the 2,207 lists here, 35% of the map records list a website and 6% have an email on the map record (the free lists say only whether; they contain no email addresses). Each list page gives that figure for its own category and city, which is a better guide to how many emails a run will find than any national average.
Which one to use
- Sizing a market or a territory. The free list: counts by neighbourhood, street and postcode, and the full CSV.
- Selling websites or local marketing. The free list's "no website listed" filter for the short-list, then a Google Maps run to confirm and add phones.
- A full call or email campaign. A Google Maps run with the searches each list page prepares: every business Google shows, with phones and website emails.
- Named decision-makers with verified emails. A specialist vendor; check the licence and the country's outreach rules first.
