Okay, let’s calculate the cost of collecting 20,000 detailed data points from Google Maps.
By “detailed data,” I assume you need detailed business information (e.g., address, phone number, website, opening hours), which corresponds to the Pro SKU in the Google Maps Places API or similar plans in ready-made solutions.
1. Via Google Maps Places API
For detailed data, use Place Details (New) or Nearby Search (New) with Pro SKU:
- Pro SKU price : $32 per 1000 queries.
- Volume : 20,000 requests ÷ 1000 = 20 blocks.
- Calculation : 20 × $32 = $640 per month .
- Free Limit : After March 1, 2025, Google will provide approximately 10,000 free requests per month for the Places API (Pro SKU). This means:
- 20,000 – 10,000 = 10,000 paid queries.
- 10,000 ÷ 1000 = 10 blocks.
- 10 × $32 = $320 per month including the free limit.
Total cost via API : $320 per month if you optimize your queries and stay within the free limit.
2. Ready-made solutions
Thunderbit AI Web Scraper
- Tariff : $30 per 1000 records.
- Volume : 20,000 records ÷ 1000 = 20 blocks.
- Calculation : 20 × $30 = $600 per month .
- There are cheaper plans, like $15 for 500 records, but for 20,000 it would still be around $600 .
Other tools (G-Business Extractor, CrawlingExpert)
- Exact prices are unknown, but such services typically charge between $50 and $300 per month for access. For larger volumes (20,000 records), additional costs may apply—approximately $500–$700 per month , based on market analogs.
3. Our software is based on n8n
- Development : a script for searching and uploading to a table, composing a unique letter using AI, plus sending via Gmail for $300 (one-time work) using a free API (in the future, Google Maps may be included).
- Servers and services : to store and process data – $5-$30 per month .
- We need your email address for registration and a Gmail address for sending and setting up. Estimated delivery time: 1-2 days.
- PS software is good for searching internationally; for the CIS, it works poorly.
