Our take
Pick Bardeen if gTM operators who already think in Sheets rows and will count credits per scrape. Pick n8n if technical ops, DevOps, and automation engineers who need to connect SaaS apps, internal APIs, and LLM tools — especially teams that want self-host / data residency. Skip n8n if someone who only wants a chat window, or a non-technical team that will not maintain credentials, executions, or a Docker host.
