xMap Flows vs Outscraper

At a glance

What Outscraper is

Outscraper is a service that extracts business listings, reviews and related data from online maps and other sites, delivered as files or through an API.

A one-off extract is a snapshot. Knowing what is new tomorrow, what closed, which places matter most and getting them to the right person each morning needs more steps.

Where xMap Flows is different

• Each flow is an AI employee with a job: a role, a timetable, a monthly budget, and a choice of how much it does alone (ask me first, act and tell me, or fully on its own). Together they work as a team: an org chart, handoffs from one to the next, a Team inbox where each reports, and a weekly review.
• Scheduled flows: the same search every morning, only what is new.
• Ranking with reasons by xMap AI, and filters on rating, chains, opening date and more.
• Delivered to email, Slack, WhatsApp, Sheets or the CRM, and kept in Results.
• Location data beyond listings: hiring, traffic, weather, demographics, satellite.

When Outscraper is the better choice

We would rather you use the right tool. Outscraper is likely the better fit when:

• A large one-time export of listings for analysis elsewhere.
• Bulk review text for research projects.

Use them together

Load an existing export into My data and let a flow enrich, rank and monitor those places from then on.

Moving to xMap Flows

1. Upload past exports as a table in My data.
2. Use Match with my table to skip what you already have.
3. Schedule the flow to keep the list current.

Most teams start from a template or by describing the flow to Ask xMap.
