Scope & product fit
Phantombuster is a Swiss Army knife for sales automation — its strength is chaining workflows (scrape Maps → enrich → push to CRM). If you live across LinkedIn, Sales Nav, and Maps, the all-in-one nature pays off. ScrapperClaw does one thing: extract clean Google Maps leads into a CSV.
Pricing
Phantombuster uses a slot/execution-time pricing model — what you pay scales with how many "phantoms" you run and for how long. Pricing starts higher than ScrapperClaw and grows with usage. ScrapperClaw Pro is flat $19/month for up to 5,000 leads, regardless of how often you scrape.
Setup
Phantombuster requires platform connections, cookie syncing, and phantom configuration before you scrape. Reasonable for ops teams; overkill if all you want is a Maps CSV. ScrapperClaw is a one-click Chrome install — you're scraping in under a minute.
