Bardeen pricing looks friendly at first glance: Basic at USD 10 a month, Premium at USD 50 a month or USD 480 a year, and a free start with 100 credits. The question that catches most teams out comes the moment the first colleague on Safari or Firefox asks to use it, or the first lead list of 1,000 rows enriches at 3 credits a row and clears the monthly budget in a single run. This article puts every public Bardeen price in one place as of October 2026, works out what a team of 10 and a team of 50 actually pay, and shows where the Chrome-only setup and the credit math bite. The companion piece on the EU-friendly alternatives is GDPR-compliant Bardeen alternatives for teams in Germany and the EU; here we stay on the money. See too how the Superkind AI team for lead work runs the same jobs without a browser extension.
Key takeaways
Four paths: Free (100 credits a month, Chrome extension), Basic (USD 10 per month monthly, 100 credits), Premium (USD 50 per month monthly or USD 480 per year annually, 1,000 credits per month or 12,000 per year) and Enterprise (custom, billed annually, bulk credits). As of October 20261.
Credits by the row: Scraper 1 credit per row, Web Search 1 per row, Enrichment 3 per row, AI Tools 1 per row. A 1,000-lead enrichment run burns 3,000 credits, so the Premium monthly plan at 1,000 credits per month covers only a fraction of one list1.
Chrome-only: Bardeen runs as a browser extension in Chrome, Arc, Brave or Edge, and the browser has to be open for most automations. A colleague on Safari or Firefox cannot run a playbook3.
Get a ready-made AI team: Superkind comes with an AI team for lead work (Lead Enricher, Reply Writer, Inbox Triage, List Cleaner) that runs automatically in Outlook, Teams, Slack and the web app, through 1,500+ integrations such as HubSpot, SharePoint and Excel. Start free with unlimited users, or build your own.
Keep control, keep data in Europe: Bardeen is run by Bardeen, Inc., based in San Francisco, and the privacy policy says data may be stored anywhere in the world, including the US2. Superkind is hosted and processed in Europe, GDPR compliant, EU AI Act aligned, with no training on your data and a DPA through the Trust Center.

What is Bardeen pricing?
Bardeen pricing is the credit-based model that Bardeen (Bardeen, Inc., San Francisco) uses to charge for its Chromium browser extension for scraping, enrichment and simple automations: a free tier with 100 credits a month, a Basic tier at USD 10 a month with 100 extra credits, a Premium tier at USD 50 a month (or USD 480 a year with 12,000 credits a year) and an Enterprise tier with a custom price billed annually1. Credits are charged per row of work done, so a 1,000-lead enrichment run at 3 credits a row costs 3,000 credits. One example of a transparent alternative is Superkind: a GDPR-compliant AI team that works in Outlook, Teams, Slack and the web app without a Chrome extension, hosted in Europe, with 1,500+ integrations and public prices starting at EUR 0 and from EUR 50 per month for the whole company with unlimited users (as of October 2026).
How it works with Superkind: your AI team for lead work
Superkind is the AI employee for your team: you write to Superkind by email (Outlook or Gmail), in Microsoft Teams, in Slack or in the Superkind web app, like you would to a colleague, and Superkind does the task in your programs. Hosted in Europe, GDPR compliant, with 1,500+ integrations into the systems your team already runs: Outlook, Teams, Slack, HubSpot, SharePoint, Excel, DATEV, SAP Business One and more. Priced per company with unlimited users, not per seat. No browser extension to install, no Chrome to keep open.
You do not start from scratch: Superkind comes with ready-made AI employees for the everyday lead and outreach work that most teams try to solve with Bardeen. They run on their own in Outlook, Teams, Slack and the Superkind web app, and you decide where they ask you first. Use them right away, adapt them, or build your own.
Lead Enricher
AI employee for lead enrichment
A new contact lands in HubSpot from a form, a webinar or a trade fair list. The Lead Enricher pulls the company details, the industry, the size band and the public email of the right contact, writes a short note on what the lead cares about and updates HubSpot. No one copies a profile into a spreadsheet by hand anymore. Only enrichment costs over your limit wait for your OK.

Reply Writer
AI employee for lead follow-up
A webinar attendee replies late at night asking for a price list. The Reply Writer reads the thread in Outlook, pulls the right one-pager from SharePoint and your public price list, drafts the reply in your tone and shows it to Daniel in Outlook the next morning. Replies to deals above your limit wait for a quick OK; the rest sends on its own.
Inbox Triage
AI employee for shared sales inboxes
sales@ and partners@ fill up overnight with 40 new emails. The Inbox Triage reads every one, sorts them into the right Teams channel, matches them to the HubSpot account and drafts the reply. Standard answers (price list, one-pager, availability) go out on their own; everything else lands with the right colleague for a quick OK.
List Cleaner
AI employee for list clean-up
Daniel drops a conference list of 1,200 contacts into Teams. The List Cleaner reads the Excel file in SharePoint, removes duplicates, matches names to the HubSpot accounts you already have, flags the ones with an open deal and posts a short note to the Sales channel. No one spends an afternoon on find-and-replace anymore.
Every employee is ready to use right away. Or build your own on the platform.
Safe by default
Lead records in HubSpot, conference lists in SharePoint and the Monday sales report all stay in Europe. Superkind never trains on your data, and you decide which step needs approval before anything goes out.
- Hosted and processed in Europe
- GDPR compliant
- Aligned with the EU AI Act
- No training on your data
- DPA through the Trust Center
Send Superkind your first lead
Start for free in Outlook, Teams or Slack. One price for the whole company, no browser extension to install.
From the first task to your own app
With Superkind the cost grows with the work your team hands over, not with the credits a Chrome extension burns per row. Four stages, on the lead-work example:
- 1
Ready in minutes
Sign up for free with a one-off up to EUR 150 in credits, forward one webinar reply from Outlook and watch Superkind enrich the lead and draft the follow-up.
- 2
Tasks become routines
What you explain once keeps running as a routine, for example “Every morning at 08:00, enrich new HubSpot contacts and draft the first reply”. Only deals over your limit wait for approval; the rest runs on its own.
- 3
Learns from day one
Every task makes Superkind smarter. Your buyer personas, pricing rules, dealflow stages and the way your team writes end up in your Company Brain, and that knowledge is never lost, even when someone leaves.
- 4
Your own app, without starting over
When sales gets more complex you build custom solutions, apps and integrations on the platform, on top of what Superkind already knows, for example your own quoting app with approval steps and a pipeline view. Your own Super App, built with the Superkind team or by yourself, and it all belongs to you.

How Bardeen pricing works
Bardeen sells one product (a Chromium browser extension) in four tiers and charges every run against a credit pot. The published numbers from its own pricing page, as of October 20261:
- Free - USD 0 per month. Every account gets 100 credits a month, the Chrome extension, playbook marketplace access and the standard integrations. Unused credits expire at the end of each billing period1.
- Basic - USD 10 per month (billed monthly), plus 100 credits a month on top of the free 100. Includes building your own scrapers, premium scrapers, enrichment and Teams features. No annual price is shown on the Basic card1.
- Premium (monthly) - USD 50 per month, plus 1,000 credits a month on top of the free 100. Same feature list as Basic. Credit top-ups on a slider from +1,000 to +10,0001.
- Premium (annual) - USD 480 per year (about 20 percent off the monthly list), plus 12,000 credits a year. Same feature list. Credit top-ups on a slider from +12,000 to +120,0001.
- Enterprise - custom price, billed annually. Everything in Premium, plus Bardeen building and maintaining custom scrapers for you, and Premium Support. The price is only on request1.
Pricing is based on credits consumed per row of work, not on seats or scenarios. Bardeen publishes a per-row cost on the pricing page: a Scraper row uses 1 credit, a Web Search row 1 credit, an Enrichment row 3 credits, an AI Tools row 1 credit; Utilities and import or export rows are free1. One serious lead list (1,000 rows enriched at 3 credits) burns 3,000 credits, so the Premium monthly plan at 1,000 credits a month covers only a third of that single run. The annual plan at 12,000 credits a year lasts longer but is still four runs a year of that size, before top-ups.
Bardeen plans compared
Every Bardeen tier with the public figures, with Superkind in the first row for comparison. Bardeen prices are in US dollars per account; Superkind is in euros per company with unlimited users. All prices exclude tax.
As of October 2026. Bardeen source: the Bardeen pricing page in USD1. Superkind: its own published prices.
| Plan | Price | Hosting / Data protection | What you get |
|---|---|---|---|
| Superkind (for comparison) | Free: EUR 0 with a one-off up to EUR 150 in credits Business: from EUR 50 / month (25,000 credits), EUR 100 for 50,000 credits Enterprise: custom price | Hosted and processed in Europe, GDPR compliant, EU AI Act aligned, DPA via the Trust Center, no model training | An AI employee for the whole company in Outlook, Teams, Slack and the web app that does lead work in your programs through 1,500+ integrations (HubSpot, SharePoint, Excel, DATEV, SAP Business One ...), with approval, unlimited users, no browser extension |
| Bardeen Free | USD 0 | US company (Bardeen, Inc., San Francisco); data may be stored anywhere in the world incl. US; no DPA named2 | 100 credits per month (unused credits expire), Chrome extension, playbook marketplace1 |
| Bardeen Basic | USD 10 / month (billed monthly) | Same as above | +100 credits per month, build your own scrapers, Premium scrapers, Enrichment, Teams features1 |
| Bardeen Premium (monthly) | USD 50 / month | Same as above | +1,000 credits per month, same feature list, slider top-ups +1,000 to +10,0001 |
| Bardeen Premium (annual) | USD 480 / year (~USD 40 / month) | Same as above | +12,000 credits per year, same feature list, slider top-ups +12,000 to +120,0001 |
| Bardeen Enterprise | Custom (billed annually) | Same as above; check for SCC and signed DPA2 | Everything from Premium, custom scraper building and maintenance by Bardeen, Premium Support1 |
The sticker on Basic and Premium is the easy part. The harder question is whether the credit pot covers the work a team actually runs, and whether every colleague on the team can use Bardeen at all (Chrome-only), or whether the Mac user on Safari sits on the sideline. The per-user line is not published on the pricing page1, so confirm with sales before you add colleagues.
Bardeen for a team of 10 and 50 users
Plain arithmetic on the list prices in this article, per month, excl. tax. Because the per-user line is unclear on the Bardeen pricing page, the table shows two scenarios: one shared account, and one Bardeen seat per teammate. The real answer sits between the two, depending on what Bardeen sales confirms1.
| Set-up | 10 users | 50 users |
|---|---|---|
| Superkind Business (whole company, unlimited users) | EUR 50 to 100 per month | EUR 50 to 200 per month (more credits if more work) |
| One Bardeen Free, shared | USD 0 (cap: 100 credits total pooled) | USD 0 (same cap, not realistic for 50) |
| One Bardeen Basic, shared (if Bardeen allows) | USD 10 per month, 200 credits total | USD 10 per month, 200 credits total |
| One Bardeen Premium annual, shared (if Bardeen allows) | USD 40 per month, 1,100 credits per month | USD 40 per month, 1,100 credits per month |
| One Bardeen Premium per seat (if seats are per user, monthly) | USD 500 per month | USD 2,500 per month |
| Bardeen Enterprise | Custom, often 4 to 5 digits per year | Custom, often higher |
| Plus credit top-ups when 1,000 run out | Slider price on the pricing page1 | Slider price on the pricing page1 |
In the shared-account scenario, 100 or 1,000 credits a month is the whole team’s budget. One enrichment run of 1,000 rows at 3 credits each (3,000 credits) is already over it1. In the per-seat scenario, the sticker climbs fast: USD 500 a month at 10 people on Premium monthly, up to USD 2,500 at 50 people on the same plan, before any top-up. Superkind puts a hard answer in euros for the whole company: EUR 50 per month on Business for 25,000 credits with unlimited users, EUR 100 for 50,000 credits as the popular step, through 1,500+ integrations into HubSpot, SharePoint, Excel, DATEV and SAP Business One. And a colleague on Safari or on a phone sees the same Superkind in Outlook, Teams or Slack, with no extension to install.
What Bardeen pricing means for teams in Germany
Before you pick a Bardeen plan, run these three checks. The list price is only the entry fee; the real cost shows up in the credit pot and the Chrome-only setup.
- Count your credits honestly - a Scraper row uses 1 credit, an Enrichment row 3, an AI Tools row 1. A 1,000-lead enrichment burns 3,000 credits; Premium monthly gives you 1,000 a month1. Measure one real list before you commit to a tier, and plan for top-ups on the slider.
- Chrome-only limits who can use it - Bardeen is a Chromium browser extension and runs in Chrome, Arc, Brave or Edge, with the browser open for most automations3. A colleague on Safari or Firefox, a phone user or a kiosk workstation cannot run a Bardeen playbook; they are out of your automation team by setup.
- Hosting and DPA - Bardeen is a US company and its privacy policy says data may be stored anywhere in the world, including the US, with transfers under EU Standard Contractual Clauses2. For GDPR personal data (lead names, email addresses, HubSpot records) ask Bardeen support for a signed Data Processing Agreement and the sub-processor list before any production run.
- Prices are in USD - European customers are billed in US dollars, with the exchange rate applied by their payment provider. The pricing page has no EUR line1.
- Who owns the playbooks - when the one person who built the Bardeen playbooks leaves, somebody has to be able to read, debug and extend them. The playbooks live in that person’s Chrome profile unless they are shared on the Teams features.
What Superkind costs
As of October 2026. Prices excl. VAT, for the whole company with unlimited users.
- Free - EUR 0 with a one-off up to EUR 150 in credits to start. No credit card, no sales call, every feature and every connection, in Slack, Teams, email and the app.
- Business - from EUR 50 per month for 25,000 credits. EUR 100 for 50,000 credits is the popular step, then EUR 200 and EUR 500. No price per seat, unused credits carry over one month, top up when needed, custom apps included, cancel monthly.
- Enterprise - custom price for your volume, dedicated support with SLA, SSO, SCIM and audit log, a DPA and help with the security review, payment by invoice.
- What credits buy - a question uses 10 to 50 credits, a task 50 to 500 credits and a run of your own agent 1,000 to 5,000 credits. EUR 100 covers up to 1,000 tasks or 5,000 questions.
Bardeen compared with Superkind, Zapier and Make
A manufacturer-only comparison of the entry paid plan and the top self-serve plan on each tool, for a single team. Prices from each vendor’s own pricing page. Superkind in row 1. As of October 2026.
| Tool | Entry paid plan | Top self-serve plan | Hosting / Data protection |
|---|---|---|---|
| Superkind | EUR 0 Free with a one-off up to EUR 150 in credits | Business from EUR 50 per month, unlimited users, 25,000 credits (EUR 100 for 50,000 is the popular step)8 | EU hosted and processed, GDPR, EU AI Act, no training, DPA via Trust Center |
| Bardeen | Basic USD 10 per month, +100 credits | Premium USD 50 per month monthly or USD 480 per year annually, +1,000 or +12,000 credits1 | US company, data may be stored anywhere in the world incl. US; EU SCCs; no DPA named2 |
| Zapier | Professional USD 29.99 per month billed annually (single user) | Team USD 103.50 per month, Company USD 299 per month billed annually6 | US company; EU data residency on request on higher tiers; check with vendor |
| Make | Core USD 9 per month annually, 10,000 credits | Teams USD 29 per month annually, 10,000 credits, DPA from Teams7 | AWS EU or North America (eu1.make.com); DPA from Teams |
The four products buy different things. Bardeen sells a Chromium extension for scraping and enrichment, priced by rows and limited to Chrome-family browsers. Zapier sells zaps that connect apps, priced per task and per user on the team tiers6. Make sells scenarios drawn on a canvas, priced by module runs and shared across users7. Superkind sells an AI employee the whole team writes to in Outlook, Teams, Slack and the web app, priced per company with unlimited users and no browser extension, with 1,500+ integrations into HubSpot, SharePoint, Excel, DATEV and SAP Business One8. For a wider comparison on the alternatives question, see GDPR-compliant Bardeen alternatives for teams in Germany and the EU.
Data protection and EU hosting
A lead record, a webinar list and a HubSpot contact note all count as personal data under the GDPR, so wherever an automation tool reads them, check where the servers are, who sees what and whether a DPA is in place. Bardeen’s privacy policy says it adheres to the EU GDPR compliance checklist for US companies and that personal information may be stored anywhere in the world, including the United States, with transfers under EU Standard Contractual Clauses; it does not publish a customer-facing DPA and does not list sub-processors2. Data from Google Drive and Gmail integrations is not used to train generalised AI models; the policy does not make the same statement about other user data. For related background, see the AI sales rep solution and the integrations list.
How to start with Superkind
You can decide this in one afternoon. Three steps:
Your 3-step check
- Test an AI employee on one real task - start Superkind for free at app.superkind.ai with a one-off up to EUR 150 in credits and send one real lead task by email, Teams or Slack, such as enriching a webinar list or drafting the first reply.
- If you still want Bardeen, measure first - run Bardeen Free with 100 credits on one real list and check what fraction of your monthly work it covers. Only move to Basic or Premium once you know how many credits a real month costs you1.
- Price the whole stack - Bardeen plan + credit top-ups + any per-seat line + the GDPR paperwork for a US-based processor, at the list rate for year two. Compare it with the work done, not with the feature list.
Conclusion
Bardeen has clear list prices: USD 0 for Free with 100 credits, USD 10 a month for Basic with +100 credits, USD 50 a month or USD 480 a year for Premium with 1,000 credits a month or 12,000 a year, and Enterprise on request1. The sticker is only the entry fee; the real cost is whether 1,000 credits a month cover your lead work, whether every teammate has Chrome, and whether a US-based processor with no published DPA fits your GDPR rules23. If your team wants lead work done in the programs you already use, Superkind costs EUR 0 to start and from EUR 50 per month for the whole company with unlimited users, works through 1,500+ integrations such as HubSpot, SharePoint, Excel and DATEV, and is hosted and processed in Europe (as of October 2026)8. Send Superkind one real lead task this week and put the result next to your Bardeen quote. The GDPR-compliant Bardeen alternatives article goes deeper on the EU hosting angle.
Frequently Asked Questions
As of October 2026, Bardeen lists three paid tiers on its public pricing page: Basic at USD 10 per month (billed monthly) with 100 included credits per month, Premium at USD 50 per month monthly or USD 480 per year annually (12,000 credits per year) and Enterprise with a custom price, billed annually. Every account also gets 100 free credits a month that expire at the end of each billing period. Bardeen does not publish a seat count per plan on the pricing page.
Bardeen publishes a per-row cost on the pricing page: a Scraper row uses 1 credit, a Web Search row 1 credit, an Enrichment row 3 credits, an AI Tools row 1 credit and Utilities are free. A list of 1,000 enriched leads uses 3,000 credits, so the Premium monthly plan at 1,000 credits per month covers only a fraction of a single enrichment run. Heavier use needs the annual plan with 12,000 credits a year or an Enterprise bulk pack.
Bardeen does not publish a seat count or a per-user line on the public pricing page as of October 2026. The paid plans show a flat monthly or annual price and a credit allowance, with Teams listed as a feature bullet beneath Basic and Premium. For a team, confirm with Bardeen sales whether the Basic or Premium plan covers every active teammate before you add colleagues. Superkind, by contrast, is priced per company with unlimited users built in and no per-seat line, from EUR 50 per month on the Business plan (as of October 2026).
Yes. Every Bardeen account gets 100 free credits a month, and the Chrome extension is free to install. Unused credits expire at the end of each billing period, so the free allowance does not stack. For heavier use you move up to the Basic plan at USD 10 per month or Premium at USD 50 per month. Superkind also offers a free start, with a one-off up to EUR 150 in credits, no credit card and no sales call.
Bardeen is operated by Bardeen, Inc., based in San Francisco in the US. Its privacy policy says the company adheres to the EU GDPR compliance checklist for US companies and that personal information may be stored anywhere in the world, including the United States, with transfers relying on EU Standard Contractual Clauses. The policy does not publish a customer-facing Data Processing Agreement, name a hosting provider or offer an EU-hosted region. Data from Google Drive and Gmail integrations is not used to train generalised AI models. For a German or EU company, confirm these points with Bardeen support before any production data moves. Superkind, by comparison, is hosted and processed in Europe, GDPR compliant and aligned with the EU AI Act, with no training on your data and a DPA through the Trust Center.
Yes. Bardeen is a Chromium browser extension and runs in Chrome, Arc, Brave or Microsoft Edge according to its own support site. The browser has to be open for its core automations to run, since many of them read or click inside pages the user already has signed in to. A colleague on Safari or Firefox cannot run a Bardeen playbook. Superkind works in Outlook, Teams, Slack and the web app, so a colleague on any device gets the same AI employee without an extension.
Superkind has public prices in euros, as of October 2026. Free costs EUR 0 with a one-off up to EUR 150 in credits. Business starts at EUR 50 per month for 25,000 credits (EUR 100 for 50,000 credits is the popular step, then EUR 200 and EUR 500) for the whole company with unlimited users; unused credits carry over one month and you can cancel monthly. A question uses 10 to 50 credits, a task 50 to 500 and a run of your own agent 1,000 to 5,000, so EUR 100 covers up to 1,000 tasks or 5,000 questions. Enterprise is a custom price. All prices exclude VAT.
