In a recent video, the creator takes on the challenge of comparing two popular Google Maps scraping tools: Leadstal and Leads Sniper. The video begins with a compelling story: the creator is tasked with delivering 10,000 business leads from Google Maps in less than 24 hours for a client who was willing to pay a premium rate. What follows is a walkthrough of how both tools perform, highlighting their strengths and weaknesses in real-time.
The Task: 10,000 Business Leads in 24 Hours
The video opens with the creator explaining the urgency of the task. With a deadline of 24 hours, the creator decides to use Leads Sniper and Leadstal, two of the most popular Google Maps scraping tools. The goal is to gather business leads quickly and efficiently while testing the limits of both tools.
Leads Sniper: Speed and Efficiency in Action
The creator starts by introducing Leads Sniper, a browser extension that works on both Chrome and Microsoft Edge. What makes Leads Sniper stand out in the video is its simple setup—there’s no need for complicated software installations. The creator shows the user-friendly dashboard where they input the keywords provided by the client.
One key feature that the creator emphasizes is Leads Sniper’s ability to run on multiple browsers. The video demonstrates how running the tool on two different browsers at once significantly speeds up the process. By using multiple browsers, the creator is able to scrape over 10,000 business leads in just a few hours, well within the client’s tight deadline.
The tool doesn’t just scrape basic business data; the creator highlights how Leads Sniper collects comprehensive information such as:
- Business names
- Phone numbers
- Email addresses
- Social media URLs and more
All this data is gathered and ready for the creator to deliver to the client in record time.
Leadstal: A Functional Alternative
Next, the video shifts focus to Leadstal, another Google Maps scraper. While it operates similarly to Leads Sniper as a Chrome extension, the creator points out some clear differences.
One of the main limitations of Leadstal, as demonstrated in the video, is that it can only run on a single browser at a time. This slows down the scraping process significantly when compared to Leads Sniper. The creator shows how using Leadstal for the same task results in a slower data extraction rate, making it less ideal for large-scale projects or tight deadlines.
The video also compares the user interface of both tools. Leadstal’s interface is less intuitive, and it requires more manual input, which adds extra steps to the process. However, the tool still manages to collect accurate data, albeit at a slower pace.
Direct Comparison: Leads Sniper vs. Leadstal
In the side-by-side comparison shown in the video, it becomes clear that Leads Sniper is the superior tool when it comes to speed and efficiency. The creator runs both tools for the same amount of time—30 minutes—and shows the results. Leads Sniper easily outperforms Leadstal, scraping a larger number of leads in less time.
Additionally, the creator highlights a unique feature of Leads Sniper: its ability to run on multiple browsers simultaneously, which Leadstal lacks. This feature alone allows Leads Sniper to scrape more data in a shorter period, making it the ideal tool for businesses that need high-volume lead generation quickly.
The Verdict: Leads Sniper Takes the Lead
By the end of the video, the creator makes it clear that while Leadstal is a functional tool for scraping Google Maps, Leads Sniper is the more efficient option. With its multi-browser functionality, faster scraping speed, and comprehensive data collection, Leads Sniper emerges as the better choice for anyone needing to gather large amounts of business data from Google Maps in a short amount of time.
The video concludes with the creator showing a final report of the leads collected—over 10,000 business data entries, all within the span of a few hours. The level of detail provided by Leads Sniper, along with its speed and ease of use, make it the clear winner in this head-to-head comparison.
