PhantomBuster alternative

A PhantomBuster alternative that only does local leads

PhantomBuster is a general automation platform: dozens of agents across many sites, each one configured, scheduled and maintained by you. That flexibility is the point, and it is also the cost. If the only job you actually need is "give me the businesses in this area and tell me which ones have no website", a single-purpose tool gets you there without the setup, the session handling, or the maintenance when a target site changes.

Platform flexibility has a running cost

Automation platforms are excellent when your workflow is genuinely bespoke. The trade-off is that every agent is a small piece of software you now own: it needs inputs, it breaks when the target changes, and someone has to notice when it silently returns nothing. For a recurring monthly territory pull, that overhead is larger than the task.

Official API versus automated browsing

FindLeadly calls the Google Places API with our own key. The practical consequences: no blocking, no proxy management, no account of yours exposed, and a consistent field schema every time. Scraped output can be richer in edge cases and is less predictable in ordinary ones — how the extraction works goes into the detail.

The filters are the product

Raw extraction gives you a list. What makes it a lead list is the qualification: which of these has no website, which has eleven reviews after six years, which is rated 4.9 and invisible. Those filters run inside the search here rather than in a spreadsheet afterwards, which is most of the time saved.

Frequently asked questions

For the Google Maps use case, yes — and it is a purpose-built one rather than a generic automation you configure yourself. PhantomBuster is a broad automation platform covering many sites and workflows; FindLeadly does one job, local business lead extraction and qualification.

No. There is no agent to set up, no schedule to define, no session cookie to supply. You enter a city or area and a niche, and results come back.

No. It queries the official Google Places API with our own key, which is why results are stable and there is nothing to get blocked or rate-limited on your side.

Not on a schedule today. In practice most users re-run a territory manually once a month and compare against the previous export, which takes a minute.

Free for 20 leads and 5 searches per month, then $20/mo for 500 leads and 25 searches, and $90/mo for 2,000 leads, 50 searches and up to 60 leads per search.
