The Bardeen alternative for Chrome
Bardeen is an AI-powered browser automation extension built mainly for go-to-market teams — web scraping, lead enrichment, and AI research playbooks — with a credit-metered free plan and paid tiers on top. It has a genuine action recorder for building your own playbooks, plus scheduled/triggered "Autobooks." Here's how EasyAgent compares if your task is closer to "fill this same form for every row in my spreadsheet" than lead-gen scraping.
FREE · NO ACCOUNT · NO CREDITS TO TRACK
Short version: Bardeen's free plan includes 100 credits a month — credits meter scraping, web search, enrichment, and AI actions at 1–3 credits per row, while plain automation utilities and import/export stay free. Paid plans start at Basic ($10/month, +100 credits) and Premium ($50/month or $480/year, +1,000–12,000 credits), with Enterprise on custom pricing. It's built primarily as an AI-driven scraping/lead-gen tool for Chromium browsers (Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera — no Firefox) and requires a Bardeen account to sign in. EasyAgent is unmetered and account-free, but doesn't have Bardeen's AI playbook generation or lead-enrichment integrations.

| How you build an automation | Click record, use the page normally, stop | Recorder mode, a drag-and-drop block builder, or describe it in plain English for AI to generate |
| Looping over data | Paste rows from Excel, no setup, unmetered | Loop over a table/Google Sheets/CSV, metered by credits per row for scraping/enrichment steps |
| Scheduling | Built in, free — 15 minutes to 24 hours, or custom | Autobooks — scheduled or event-based triggers, also credit-metered per run's actions |
| Account required | No | Yes — sign-in required to use the extension at all |
If you're coming from Bardeen
If you're using Bardeen mainly to fill forms or repeat a browser flow across a list — rather than for its AI scraping/lead-enrichment features — the core ideas map over cleanly, without the credit metering:
What EasyAgent doesn't do
Not a full replacement for everything Bardeen can do
- No AI playbook generation — Bardeen can build a workflow from a plain-English description; EasyAgent only records what you physically do on the page.
- No lead-enrichment or web-search integrations — Bardeen's enrichment/search blocks pull in contact data from third-party sources; EasyAgent has no equivalent, it only reads what's already on the page you're on.
- Chrome and Firefox only, and no account/team features — Bardeen also covers Edge, Brave, and Opera, plus team/workspace features via its account system; EasyAgent has neither.
