Why Scavio Wins
- The honest answer: if a job needs 100K Google Maps records this week, Outscraper wins on price. The Scavio pattern (SERP query for local-business listings, extract for website data) costs a few cents more per record but produces an agent-shaped output that drops directly into a Claude Code prospecting flow.
- Outscraper full-profile pulls cost $14/1K. The same enrichment via Scavio (Maps SERP + website extract + AI visibility check via second SERP query) costs about $13/1K with full agent control. Where the per-record price is similar, agent control becomes the deciding factor.
- Reddit endpoint surfaces a signal layer Outscraper does not have. r/dentistry, r/personalfinance, r/Austin threads about local services flag businesses with bad reviews — direct buying signal for B2B sellers (CRM, marketing, software).
- MCP server: open Claude Code, attach mcp.scavio.dev/mcp, ask 'find dentists in Austin with bad website + low AI visibility, draft a 60-word opener referencing their site.' Outscraper requires custom orchestration code.
- Recommended hybrid pattern: Outscraper for the initial 1,000-record seed pull. Scavio for everything that touches each lead after — verify, score, enrich, personalize, draft outreach. Combined cost stays under $40/mo for a solo agency.
