Bardeen
AI automation platform that scrapes, enriches, and acts on web data via browser-based agents.
Bardeen is a browser-native, no-code automation tool that handles the repetitive copy-paste work of knowledge jobs. It runs as a Chrome extension, which is its defining design choice: because the automations execute inside the browser you are already using rather than on a remote server, Bardeen can act on any site you can see, including the many web apps that expose no public API. The trade-off is that this generally requires the browser to be open, which makes it a better fit for interactive, on-the-fly tasks than for around-the-clock backend processes.
The product grew out of web scraping and data extraction, and that remains its strongest area. With a point-and-click scraper, a user can pull structured data off a page, a list of LinkedIn profiles, a company directory, a product catalog, and drop it into a spreadsheet or CRM, with AI-assisted selectors that hold up better when a site changes its markup. On top of scraping, Bardeen organizes automations into playbooks, reusable shortcuts you trigger on a page, and autobooks that run on a schedule, connecting to a hundred or more apps such as Google Sheets, Slack, HubSpot, Notion, Salesforce, and Airtable. Its Magic Box lets you describe an outcome in plain English and have the AI assemble the steps rather than wiring up each trigger and action by hand, and a visual builder is there for those who want to compose flows manually.
In 2025 Bardeen repositioned around AI agents, billing itself as the agent that automates automations, and in 2026 it added Browser Agents that go beyond static scraping: they can traverse a site, find specific information such as a company's value proposition, and summarize it before writing it to a database, along with specialized agents for research, writing, categorizing, and meetings. The product's center of gravity has clearly shifted to sales and go-to-market work: finding and enriching leads, qualifying them against criteria, keeping a CRM clean, and pushing prospects into outreach. It is best understood as semi-autonomous, agents that still need configuration and oversight rather than a hands-off sales worker, and it runs on a credit-based pricing model.

credits
Included quota

Basic/Pro ($10/mo): premium integrations (Salesforce/HubSpot), scheduled + cloud automations, AI-powered actions/enrichment, larger credit pool. Premium ($50/mo, $480/yr): ~1,000 credits/mo, full automation. Business/Enterprise (custom): shared playbooks, admin controls, team analytics, SSO, dedicated GTM consultant, solutions engineering, priority support. 1,000+ pre-built Playbooks (templates).
What is public
Bardeen (bardeen.ai - browser-based (Chrome-extension) automation + AI-agent platform for scraping, workflow automation, and GTM/prospecting) is credit-metered with unlimited seats on every plan. Free: 100 credits/mo (always free, non-premium actions). Basic/Pro: $10/mo (premium integrations, scheduled/cloud automations, AI actions). Premium: $50/mo (1,000 credits, $480/yr ~ $40/mo). Enterprise: custom. Under 'Pricing 2.0' (announced effective Dec 1, 2024), every action now costs a flat 1 credit (enrichment rows 3 credits); imports/utilities/CSV exports are free. Some 2026 sources show alternate tier framing (Pro $10/Business $15/user, or Starter $99/Teams $500/Enterprise $1,500).
Billing mechanics
Credit-metered subscription with UNLIMITED seats on all plans (since 'Pricing 2.0', effective Dec 1, 2024). The simplified model: every action that creates a row = 1 credit; enrichment rows = 3 credits; importing data, utilities, and CSV downloads are FREE. You always get 100 free credits per period; unused credits expire at the end of each billing period (no rollover). Paid plans add larger credit pools; overage requires buying additional credit packs (~$0.02/credit, no auto-overflow). Annual billing discounts the monthly rate.
Cost watchouts
Credit MATH is the real cost, not the headline price - enrichment triples credit burn (3 credits/row) and high-frequency cloud automations (running 500+ times/day) deplete credits fast (one tested 5-person team's true cost rose ~$10 to $25/user/mo after enrichment overages); credits don't roll over (expire each period); CHROME-ONLY (no Firefox/Safari/Edge - limits team adoption); browser-scraping playbooks are FRAGILE - LinkedIn/Salesforce UI changes break them, requiring repair every few weeks; Bardeen has NO own B2B data (it scrapes visible pages)
Variable cost rationale
Usage-driven via credits - cost tracks your monthly ROW volume (1 credit/action-row, 3/enrichment-row), not the sticker price; cloud/scheduled automations and enrichment are the big burners, and with no rollover + paid overage packs, spiky usage inflates the effective bill well above the base plan
Additional watchouts
Chrome-only (excludes Firefox/Safari/Edge users); browser-scraping playbooks break on target-site UI changes (LinkedIn especially - expect periodic rebuilds, no auto-monitoring); enrichment + cloud automations burn credits fast (budget the credit math before scaling); no native B2B data (scrapes what's visible); credits expire each period (no rollover); for production signal-driven outbound, dedicated GTM platforms avoid the maintenance overhead
Overage / add-ons
100 free credits each period; unused credits EXPIRE at period end (no rollover). Exceeding your plan's credits requires purchasing additional credit packs (~$0.02/credit) - there's NO automatic overflow or auto-upgrade, so cloud/high-frequency automations can deplete credits mid-cycle and pause until you top up. Standard action = 1 credit; enrichment = 3 credits; imports/utilities/CSV = free.

Commercial notes
Founded 2020 by Artem Harutyunyan & Pascal Weinberger; ~$25.3M raised (incl. Dropbox Ventures + HubSpot Ventures); repositioned May 2025 to a 'Work Intelligence Platform' / 'the AI agent to automate automations,' with center of gravity now on sales/GTM prospecting; strongest at browser scraping + data extraction + enrichment; 1,000+ pre-built Playbooks; competes with Zapier ($29.99, cloud/8,000+ apps), Clay ($149), PhantomBuster ($56), Apify ($49) - cheaper but narrower (browser-bound)
Key ambiguities
Tier framing/credit allotments are cited inconsistently across 2026 sources - some show Pro $10 (500 credits)/Business $15/user; others Basic $10 (100 credits)/Premium $50 (1,000 credits, $480/yr); a third set shows Starter $99 (15,000 credits/yr)/Teams ~$500/Enterprise ~$1,500; annual-discount % varies (17%-33% cited); the official page confirms the single-credit model + 100 free credits but the exact paid-tier names/credit counts drift between sources
Cancellation / refund
Free 100 credits/mo always (no card for the free tier); 7-day Pro trial (self-serve) and a 'request' 14-day team trial via sales; paid plans self-serve monthly or annual (annual cheaper); buy additional credit packs as needed; Business/Enterprise custom-contracted; unlimited seats on every plan
Support SLA / resale
Community/standard support (Free/Pro); Business/Enterprise add priority support, admin controls, team analytics, shared playbooks, solutions engineering, and a dedicated GTM consultant; SSO on Enterprise; SOC 2 Type II, GDPR, and CASA Tier 2/3 certified; integrates with Gmail/Slack/Google Sheets/Salesforce/HubSpot; runs as a Chrome extension (local processing option)
Missing data
Paid-tier names/credit counts and annual-discount % are cited inconsistently across sources (Pro/Premium vs Basic/Business vs Starter/Teams framings; 17%-33% discount). Seed 'Basic $10/mo (100 credits); Premium $50/mo (1,000 credits, $480/yr); Enterprise custom' aligns with the consumer-tier framing - note 'Pricing 2.0' (announced effective Dec 1, 2024) simplified to single-credit pricing (1 credit/action, 3/enrichment) with unlimited seats on all plans, and 100 free credits always.
