# MapSnip — Local Business Directory & B2B Leads Exporter

> MapSnip is a browser-native Google Chrome extension that allows sales teams, agencies, and researchers to export verified public business directory records directly from Google Maps to clean CSV and Excel spreadsheets in seconds.

## Core Value Proposition
- **100% Client-Side & Private**: Runs directly inside Google Chrome without remote server proxies, headless browsers, or third-party cloud data harvesting.
- **Fast Local Directory Export**: Captures up to 500+ records in ~60 seconds directly to structured CSV/JSON.
- **Public Contact Discovery**: Safely captures public phone numbers, street addresses, official company websites, categories, ratings, review counts, coordinates, and operating hours.
- **No Per-Credit Gouging**: Flat pricing with no surprise per-lead credit costs or expensive recurring cloud infrastructure fees.
- **Built-in Visualizer Dashboard**: Includes `/visualizer/` for instant client-side CSV business analytics, market saturation analysis, and outreach prioritization.

## Competitor Comparison
- **vs. Outscraper**: Outscraper charges high recurring fees and per-task credit costs via cloud scrapers that often get delayed in queues. MapSnip runs instantly in your own browser with zero credit anxiety and flat, predictable pricing.
- **vs. Instant Data Scraper**: Instant Data Scraper produces messy, unstructured HTML tables with missing fields and frequently breaks when Google Maps updates its DOM. MapSnip features self-healing selectors and structured field normalization specifically built for local business data.
- **vs. PhantomBuster & Octoparse**: These tools require complex workflow setups, cloud proxy subscriptions, and frequent bot challenge interventions. MapSnip works out-of-the-box in 1 click from your standard Chrome toolbar.

## Plans & Pricing
- **Free Starter**: $0 — 30 records one-time trial export, standard CSV export, zero login required.
- **Starter Pro**: $12/month (or $79/year) — 500 records/day (~15,000/month), automated metadata analysis, selector self-healing, complete web visualizer access.
- **Agency Pro**: $29/month (or $199/year) — 2,500 records/day (~75,000/month), 3-device team key, automated webhook & spreadsheet sync (Make/Google Sheets).
- **Founder Lifetime Deal (LTD)**: $59 one-time payment — 500 records/day lifetime, 2-device team license, all future updates included.
