Where CommentGrab wins

Reviews from the page
with no bill at month end

Outscraper gives each service 500 free results every 30 days, then charges per 1,000: $3 for Google Maps reviews and $2 for Amazon reviews. Usage above the free tier is billed to the card or balance on your account.

CommentGrab reads the reviews on the Google Maps place or Amazon product you have open and exports them as CSV, JSON or Markdown. There's nothing to top up, so a job can't run past a balance.
