Bardeen

Bardeen is an AI automation platform from Bardeen Inc. that runs as a Chrome extension, so it can work on websites a user is already logged into, including sites with no public API. It now positions as a lead-sourcing tool for go-to-market teams, with the homepage line "Find and reach leads no one else can." Its agentic web scraper extracts data from any website, either with scrapers a user builds or with premium scraper templates for sources such as Crunchbase, LinkedIn, Zillow and G2. AI web search researches leads at scale, AI tools qualify them against a description of the ideal lead, and contact enrichment finds validated emails and phone numbers. The Magic Box turns a plain-language description into an automation, called a Playbook. Bardeen publishes 89 integration pages, including HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Google Sheets, Airtable, Notion, Slack, Gmail, Outreach, Salesloft, lemlist and Smartlead. Results export to CSV, Google Sheets, Airtable or Notion, and the integrations page describes pushing lead lists into CRMs such as Salesforce, HubSpot and Pipedrive through their import tools. HubSpot Ventures invested in Bardeen in September 2023, when the company reported more than 40 million automation runs and an expanded HubSpot partnership. Bardeen publishes no API documentation and no MCP server. Pricing is in US dollars, as stated in Bardeen's terms of service. Every account keeps 100 free credits a month. Basic is $10 per month, billed monthly only, with 100 more credits. Premium is $50 per month with 1,000 more credits, or $480 a year with 12,000 credits (annual billing saves 20%). Premium is the first plan with premium scraper templates, enrichment and team features, while Basic covers scrapers a user builds. Enterprise is billed annually through Contact Sales with custom bulk credits, and adds custom scrapers built and maintained by Bardeen and premium support. Credits meter the work: one credit per row for scraping, web search and AI tools, three per enriched row, with imports, utilities and CSV downloads free. Bardeen's worked example, scraping ten profiles, validating emails, qualifying with AI and exporting four leads to Google Sheets, uses 64 credits. Unused credits expire at the end of each billing period. Bardeen's security page says app data from connected tools stays in the user's local browser storage rather than on Bardeen's servers. Paid users can choose to run automations while the browser is closed, in which case they run on temporary cloud instances that keep no data afterwards. Lead volume is bounded by credits, and Enterprise pricing is not published. Bardeen suits sales, recruiting, real estate, investment and other teams that build lead lists from websites and want scraping, AI qualification and enrichment in one tool. Teams that want a prospect database with built-in sequencing on a per-seat plan should look at Apollo.io ($49/mo billed annually). Current state Q4 2026: Bardeen's security page states SOC 2 Type 2 compliance as of 1 April 2024, adherence to the GDPR checklist for US companies, and CASA Tier 2 and Tier 3 against the App Defense Alliance standard. Its privacy policy says data from third-party APIs such as Google is not used to train generalized AI models. Solution pages cover solopreneurs, music, real estate, recruiting, private equity and event services, and the private equity page names PrimaryVC as a user. The public release notes were last updated in August 2024, the former help center address now leads to a contact page, and no MCP server was found across the vendor's 3,184-page sitemap in October 2026.
