GMPlus vs extracto.bot

GMPlus is a web-based Google Maps scraper that turns public business listings into structured datasets you can filter and export. Search by keyword, category, and location, then download names, phone numbers, websites, ratings, addresses, Place IDs, and up to 27 supported fields per row. It targets lead gen teams, local marketers, and researchers who need Maps data without writing scripts.

Most Maps scrapers expect you to configure a Google Maps API key or install a browser extension. GMPlus runs entirely in the browser with no API key, and it also ships a Streamable HTTP MCP server so agents in Cursor, Claude Desktop, and VS Code can search Maps on your behalf. The newer AI Prompt mode skips the form entirely and lets you describe the search in plain language.

Sales reps use it to build targeted lead lists by city and category. Local SEO consultants filter for businesses missing websites or with thin listings. Market researchers compare competitor density across neighborhoods using ratings, review counts, and coordinates in one export.

Extracto.bot is a Chrome extension for web scraping that drops structured data straight into Google Sheets. You define the fields you want as sheet columns, open any site, and click extract to pull matching values without writing selectors or scripts. It targets people who already live in Sheets and want a lighter alternative to full scraper builders.

Most web scraping tools ask you to configure CSS selectors, APIs, or workflow nodes before the first row appears. Extracto.bot skips that setup and leans on AI to map page content to the columns you named in Sheets. The trade-off is less control over extraction logic, but faster starts for one-off prospect lists, price tables, or listing details.

Sales teams use it on LinkedIn, Facebook, and company sites for prospecting. Shoppers and home buyers collect product or listing fields from multiple stores into one sheet for side-by-side comparison. Billing runs through Stripe, and paid tiers add page quotas, multi-user seats, and email support.
