Small Fish, and when a scraper is the better buy.
Scrap.io, Outscraper and D7 do a different job well. They export every business in a category and area, fast and very cheaply per row. If that is what you need, they are the right tool and this page will not talk you out of it.
Bulk exporters
Small Fish
What you get
Every business in a category and area, exported in bulk
Only the businesses whose own website shows what you asked for, with the sentence that shows it
What you pay for
Rows, whether or not they are relevant
Matched businesses only. Non-matches and unreadable sites are counts and reasons, free
Volume
Tens of thousands of rows for tens of dollars — genuinely cheaper per row, by a wide margin
Hundreds of proven matches. Nobody should buy this for volume
Filtering by what a site says
Category, rating, presence of a website — not what the site actually says
The criterion is read on the page: booking widget, service offered, quote form
When it cannot tell
The row arrives anyway
It says so, and you are not charged. About a quarter of sites, today
Speed
Immediate — the data is already collected
A market has to be read. A cold market takes time, and we say so before you start
Buy a scraper instead if any of these is true.
- You want every business in a category, not a filtered subset.
- Your filter is something a listing already carries — rating, review count, has-a-website.
- You need tens of thousands of rows, and cost per row is what decides it.
- You need the data today, and cannot wait for a market to be read.
What Small Fish is for is the case where the thing you care about is only visible on the business’s own site — no online booking, no quote form, a service offered or not — and where sending a hundred emails you can defend beats sending ten thousand you cannot.
A measured side-by-side on identical searches is S0-19 and is not run yet. Until it is, this page compares what each tool is for, not how accurate each one is — we are not going to publish an accuracy claim about someone else’s product that we have not measured.
