How much does Bardeen cost in 2026?

Pricing Overview

Bardeen is a browser-based automation and AI-agent tool (a Chrome extension) that uses a credit-based, additive model. Every user always has a free 100 credits per month, and paid plans add more on top — there is no per-seat charge.

Bardeen Pricing Tiers (as of July 2026)

The 2026 lineup is Free / Basic / Premium / Enterprise — the older "Professional $10 / Business $15/user" tier names no longer exist. Credits are additive: the paid plans add their allowance on top of the always-free 100, and pricing is not per-seat, so teams have unlimited members.

How credits work

Credits are consumed only on successful runs — building and testing automations is free. A standard action (scraping a row) is roughly one credit, while AI enrichment costs more (about three credits per action), so AI-heavy playbooks deplete an allowance faster than basic scraping. Bardeen remains a Chrome-only extension, which limits adoption on Firefox, Safari, or Edge.

How Bardeen pricing compares

Bardeen sits between web-scraping tools and general automation platforms. For sales-specific browser automation, Basic at $10/month undercuts alternatives like PhantomBuster or Clay, at the cost of a narrower, browser-focused feature set rather than full API-driven automation.

Editor's Note: We deployed Bardeen for a 5-person outbound sales team doing LinkedIn prospecting and CRM data entry. The credit meter was the whole story: AI enrichment actions burned credits far faster than basic scraping, so the practical cost landed above the sticker price once we topped up. Re-checked July 2026: the tiers are now Free / Basic $10 / Premium $50 (with a much larger +1,000-credit allowance), and because credits are additive and not per-seat, the right move for an AI-heavy team is one Premium plan rather than several Basic seats — model your credit burn on the enrichment actions, because that is what sets the real bill. — Rafal Fila, ShadowGen
