How much does Bardeen cost in 2026?
Quick Answer: Bardeen uses credit-based, additive pricing (verified July 2026): every user always gets 100 credits/month free, and paid plans add credits on top — Basic $10/month (+100 credits), Premium $50/month or $480/year (+1,000 credits, 20% off annually), and custom Enterprise. Credits are only consumed on successful runs (building and testing is free), and plans are not per-seat — team members are unlimited. Roughly one credit per row/standard action, more for AI enrichment.
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)
| Tier | Price | Credits | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 100/month (always) | Unused credits expire each period; unlimited free testing/building |
| Basic | $10/month | +100/month | Premium scrapers, enrichment, teams |
| Premium | $50/month ($480/year, 20% off) | +1,000/month | Everything in Basic, higher allowance |
| Enterprise | Custom (annual) | Custom bulk | Custom scrapers built + maintained by Bardeen, premium support |
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

Best Human-in-the-Loop Automation Platforms 2026
Eight platforms are ranked here on a single mechanism: how a person enters an automated path, and what the system can prove afterward about the decision they made. Moxo scores 7.7 and ranks first; Camunda 8 scores 7.2, Microsoft Power Automate 7.1, Pega 6.9, n8n 6.7, Zapier 5.9, Kissflow 5.8 and ServiceNow 4.8, scored 22 September 2026 on the five weighted criteria. Those criteria cover the step type, the approver's account or licence, the routes available on a rejection, the audit record, and the meter that charges for the decision, and none of them can tell a review from a rubber stamp, so the methodology adds a check readers can run on any product in a few minutes: whether the decision record tells a considered approval from an instant one. Every figure was read from a vendor-owned surface and carries its own date.
Best Automation Platforms for AI Orchestration 2026
This ranking answers one question: how many real business applications can an AI agent act on out of the box? It evaluates nine platforms as of August 2026 on the reach they give an agent, not on the workflow logic they can express. That boundary is deliberate, because two neighbouring pages on this site answer different questions. Best Process Orchestration Platforms 2026 scores multi-step process control, error handling and state management. Best AI Agent Platforms 2026 scores building and hosting the agent itself. This page scores the layer between them: the connective tissue that lets an agent already built elsewhere reach the applications a business actually runs on. A platform that leads one of those pages can place low here, and two of them do. Scores derive from application and action catalogue counts, the exposure model each platform uses to publish those catalogues to an agent, setup effort, failure handling and cost per agent action. Every figure was retrieved from a vendor-owned surface on 11 August 2026 unless an earlier date is stated against it.

Moxo vs Lindy in 2026: Who Presses Approve When the Agent Asks
Lindy, founded in 2023, sells an AI teammate that lives in Slack and in each person's inbox; Moxo, whose predecessor Moxtra was co-founded in 2012, runs multi-party processes where approvals are steps only a person can close. Moxo wins three rounds to two: who closes the step, work across companies and the record. Lindy wins reach and testing. Vendor pages and docs read 28 September 2026.
Moxo vs Kissflow in 2026: What an Outside Approver Costs, and What the Record Proves
Moxo and Kissflow both sell approvals to people who do not write code, and each wins one round outright: Moxo's Web and Headless SDKs run the approval inside the buyer's own product, under the buyer's own sign-in. Kissflow's portal audit log stamps every event with an actor, a device and an IP, where Moxo publishes no field list. Both answers are quoted, not priced, and both meters punish a one-step request sent to hundreds of clients. Cost, the decision record, rejection routes, AI metering and governance, verified 14 to 23 September 2026.
Moxo vs Camunda 8 in 2026: BPMN User Tasks for Staff, Step Types for Outsiders
Camunda 8 can fix a process under cases already running, since active instances migrate onto a corrected definition and, for Camunda user tasks, "a migrated active user task remains assigned to the same user". Moxo keeps the shared queue that Camunda's Tasklist V2 stops evaluating, with desks that are "a shared inbox that multiple users can pick work from". Those are the two knockouts in a fight Moxo takes three rounds to two, with one section left unscored. Portability, AI review gates and a published price decide the rest, verified 14 to 23 September 2026.
