Q: Monthly Google Business Scraping Limits (Tier 1–5)
Hi there 👋
I’m considering BrowserAct mainly to scrape Google Business (Google Maps) data at scale (e.g. “massage therapist in New York” or “massage therapist in London”).
For each business, I’d like to extract:
* Name
* Website
* Phone
* Address
* Rating / reviews
* Opening hours
Roughly how many full Google Business listings could I scrape per month with each plan?
* Tier 1 (20k)
* Tier 2 (50k)
* Tier 3 (90k)
* Tier 4 (130k)
* Tier 5 (220k)
I understand credits are charged per *step*, not per item, so I’m trying to estimate the average number of listings per month using loops and detail-page extraction.
Thanks a lot! 🙏
This was previously answered by Claire Hu who said: 5 credits per step (NOT per data item) — each action/step = 5 credits, and using Loop List you can process many items per step. Example breakdown: Tier 1 (20k) ≈ 4,000 steps → ~400 complex multi-step items; Tier 2 (50k) ≈ 10,000 steps → ~1,000 complex items; Tier 3 (90k) ≈ 18,000 steps → ~1,800 complex items; Tier 4 (130k) ≈ 26,000 steps → ~2,600 complex items; Tier 5 (220k) ≈ 44,000 steps → ~4,400 complex items.

Can someone from the BrowserAct Team please clarify it for my used case:
