Bardeen, founded in 2020, lives inside the browser as an extension rather than a separate web app, automating tasks across whatever web tools a user already has open, pulling data from a CRM into a spreadsheet, or triggering a Slack message from a form submission, without switching between separate automation platform tabs to configure it.
As of 2026 the product leads with sales prospecting rather than general browser automation: its own site describes an agentic web scraper that finds leads, qualifies them with AI and enriches contact records. Treat the general-automation description below as the older shape of the product.
Pre-built "playbooks" cover common cross-app tasks out of the box, and a natural-language trigger, describing what should happen in plain English, generates a working automation without manually wiring together each step. That browser-native approach fits people whose work already happens across several web tabs and wants automation triggered from wherever they're already working.
Every account keeps 100 free credits, the Basic plan costs $10 a month, and Premium costs $50 a month or $480 a year. For someone whose automation needs center on connecting the web apps they use daily without leaving the browser to configure a separate platform, Bardeen's extension-based approach removes a context switch other automation tools require.
