You found a page full of potential clients and you want them in a spreadsheet. Then you want to email them. Those are two different jobs, and the tool you pick depends on which one is actually slowing you down.
This page compares Data Miner, a browser-based tool for pulling data off web pages, with GetClient, which finds local business leads and runs the email campaign in the same place. We only state what we could confirm about Data Miner from public descriptions. For anything else, check its website directly.
A quick note on the name
Search for "Data Miner" and you will hit several unrelated products: enterprise data platforms, Oracle's data mining workbench, and agencies that sell "data mining lead generation" services. This comparison is about the browser extraction tool that turns public web pages into organized lists. If you meant one of the others, this page will not help much.
What each tool is built for
Data Miner is described as a browser-based extraction tool for turning public web pages into structured lists, used for lead generation and prospecting among other things. Its strength is flexibility: if the data is on a page you can open, you can likely pull it into rows and columns. Details such as which sites it handles well, its export formats and any limits should be confirmed on its own site.
GetClient is narrower. It searches Google Maps live by keyword and location, with bulk keywords and several cities at once. Each lead can include business name, category, address, phone, website, emails found, the owner's name and title with a confidence score, and social profiles, where these are public. You can verify emails, save leads into folders, and send campaigns from your own Gmail, Outlook or SMTP mailboxes without exporting anything.

"Not stated" means the sources we used did not mention it. It does not mean the feature is missing.
When Data Miner is the better pick
Choose Data Miner if:
- Your leads live on niche websites. Industry directories, association member lists, event exhibitor pages. A general page extractor can reach data that a fixed set of sources never will.
- You only need the list. If you already have a sending tool you like, or you call prospects rather than email them, paying for built-in campaigns makes little sense.
- Your targets are not local businesses. GetClient's default source is Google Maps, which suits shops, trades, clinics and agencies' local clients. If you sell to software companies or online publishers, a page scraper may cover more ground.
- You want to scrape non-lead data too. Prices, product listings, research tables. A general extractor does double duty.
When GetClient is the better pick
Choose GetClient if:
- You sell to local businesses. Roofers, dentists, gyms, restaurants. A Maps search for "pest control in Dallas, Austin, Houston" returns the businesses themselves, with contact details attached. See how that looks for one trade on our pest control page.
- The exporting is what tires you out. Scrape, clean, upload to a verifier, download, upload to a sender, map fields. Each step is a chance to break merge tags or lose rows. Keeping list and campaign together removes that. The full flow is in our scrape to send workflow.
- You want follow-ups that react. A step can branch on If Opened or If NOT Opened, so people who ignored email one get a different second message.
- You want replies in one place. The Inbox pulls replies from connected accounts so you can answer quickly, which matters more than most of the campaign settings. Some tips in reply to interested leads fast.
Practical advice whichever you choose
Verify before you send. Scraped emails go stale. Sending to dead addresses hurts your sender reputation, whatever tool pulled them.
Set up authentication first. Before any cold email, make sure your domain has SPF, DKIM and DMARC records. Our SPF, DKIM and DMARC guide explains them in plain terms.
Personalize the first line. A list with business name, city and category gives you enough to write something specific. In GetClient, merge tags look like {{params.name}}, {{params.city}} and {{params.category}}. Write those exactly, or they will not fill in.
Respect opt-outs and local law. Cold email rules vary by country. Include a clear way to unsubscribe and check the rules that apply to you. This is not legal advice.
Using both
The two are not mutually exclusive. You can pull a niche directory with Data Miner, save it as CSV, then import it into GetClient's My Leads with custom fields, verify it, and run the campaign from there. That gives you Data Miner's reach with GetClient's sending.
Trying it out
New GetClient accounts get 100 free credits with no card, enough to run a Maps search, verify a batch and test a short campaign. Plans and credit packs are on the pricing page.
