The short version
Dust is a multiplayer agent platform — custom agents with your company context and multi-agent workflows — sold self-serve by the seat, Pro at €24/seat/month with 8,000 credits.
Buy it if
Your bottleneck is work that needs your real docs, tickets and records as context, you will connect at least a few sources, and one self-serve Pro seat is enough to run it.
Skip it if
You want a simple personal chatbot — Dust's workspaces, permissions and governance are team machinery, and a plain assistant at $15-$20/month is the lighter buy.
What Dust does — the jobs it finishes
Workflows are built only from verified capabilities in our listing research — no vendor copy, nothing invented.
A support question answered with the full picture
Starts A ticket or customer question arrives that spans Slack, the CRM and your docs
- The agent gathers the relevant context across connected systems
- It classifies the ticket, updates the CRM record and drafts the reply
- You review the draft before it is sent
You get A context-complete draft reply with the record already updated
Approval Review the drafted reply before it reaches the customer
Answers stop depending on you hunting across four tools
A custom agent for a repeat internal job
Starts A weekly report, extraction or summary follows the same shape every time
- You build a custom agent with the skills, knowledge and tools for that job
- It runs on a schedule or trigger as a multi-agent workflow
You get The repeat job's output, produced on its timetable
Repeat knowledge work runs without you re-briefing a chatbot
Search and extraction across company data
Starts You need a fact or a set of records pulled from connected sources
- Dust searches, queries and extracts across all connected company data
- The agent returns the answer with the sources it used
You get An extracted answer from your own systems
Your docs and records become queryable in one place
Where it stops
- Not a plain consumer chatbot — it is a workspace platform built for teams, bought here by the seat
- No working free month — the free plan is 500 credits, lifetime, not per month
- Enterprise governance (SCIM, single-tenant, SLA, custom legal terms) is custom-priced and sales-led
Getting started
Before you start
- A free starter (500 credits, lifetime) or one self-serve Pro seat
- At least one real source to connect — Slack, Notion, Drive or GitHub — or the context advantage never materialises
The ongoing admin
- Watch credit consumption — triggered multi-agent workflows burn credits steadily
- Keep connector permissions tidy as sources change
Step 1Start on the free starter
Use the 500 lifetime credits to build one agent on one real job before paying for a seat.
Step 2Connect the few sources you live in
Business caps connectors on the comparison table, so connect the sources that carry your actual work first.
Step 3Take one Pro seat
Pro at €24/seat/month with 8,000 credits is the solo pick; watch credit burn for a month before considering Max.

What could make the bill jump?
The meter is credits per seat: Pro's 8,000 credits are predictable, but multi-agent workflows on triggers can burn them steadily, and the next rung is Max at five times the price (€120) for five times the credits — there is no middle step.

Pricing clarityUsage-based but predictable
Price record · 2026-11-07: Checked 2026-11-07 on dust.tt/pricing, read directly this run: Business is self-serve for teams up to 100 people — Free €0 with 500 credits lifetime; Pro €24/seat/month with 8,000 credits/seat/month; Max €120/seat/month with 40,000 credits/seat/month, all excluding VAT; Enterprise is custom with pooled credits, unlimited connectors, SCIM, single-tenant deployment, a dedicated CSM and an SLA. The comparison table publishes programmatic usage at $0.01/credit on Business. CURRENCY NOTE: Dust publishes these seat prices in euros on the page read this run; following this directory's precedent for euro-priced vendors, the structured True Solo Cost fields carry the published euro figures (24) unconverted, and all rendered cost text keeps the € amounts. A solo founder can self-serve a single Pro seat, which is why this is listed as Small-Team Ready rather than dropped as enterprise-only.

Our assessment of Dust
Dust costs €24 per seat per month on its self-serve Pro plan, with a free 500-credit lifetime starter, as of November 2026 — and it is honest to call it a team product that a solo founder can still buy one seat of, not a solo tool. Dust is a multiplayer AI platform: you build custom agents that carry your company's skills, knowledge and tools, connect them to Slack, Notion, GitHub, Google Drive and more than twenty other sources (or any tool via MCP), and run multi-agent workflows on schedules and triggers across more than twenty frontier models including GPT, Claude, Gemini, Mistral and DeepSeek. For a one-person business the appeal is context: an agent that answers from your real docs, tickets and CRM records, drafts the reply or updates the record, and leaves a human review step in the flow, can do work a plain chatbot cannot. The pricing is a seat plus a credit meter. Pro includes 8,000 credits per seat per month; Max, at €120 per seat per month, includes 40,000; programmatic usage is published at $0.01 per credit on Business. Enterprise — pooled credits, unlimited connectors, SCIM, single-tenant deployment, a dedicated CSM and an SLA — is custom and sales-led. The limits for a solo buyer are the shape itself: workspaces, permissions and governance are built for teams, the free starter is a lifetime credit taste rather than a working month, and Dust is priced in euros on the page read this run, carried unconverted here.
Pros — our take
- Agents work from your real company context across 70+ connectors vendor-stated on the product site
- Self-serve Pro at €24/seat/month — no sales call needed to start
- Model choice across 20+ frontier models inside one workspace
Cons — our take
- Built for teams — workspaces, permissions and governance are more machinery than a solo founder needs
- Free plan is 500 credits lifetime, not a monthly working allowance
- The step from Pro to Max is 5x the price for 5x the credits, with nothing between

Solo Fit input · pricing clarityUsage-based but predictable
Solo Fit stays the public score: the qualitative roll-up of these four published inputs under the How We Rank method. Published per-seat credit pricing is predictable, but the team-first shape and a same-day connector setup keep it at Small-Team Ready rather than Solo-Ready.
Three to compare before you decide
The difference: A personal general assistant with Work and Codex at $20/month — the catch is it is shaped for one person's chat and files, not a governed multi-agent workspace.
The difference: A citation-first research engine at $17-$20/month — the catch is it informs decisions rather than running agents inside your connected systems.
The difference: A multi-model chat hub on a points meter at $19.99/month — the catch is bots only chat and generate; they do not run workflows across your tools.
Questions buyers ask about Dust
What does Dust cost for one person?
The free starter is €0 with 500 credits, lifetime. Business Pro is €24 per seat per month with 8,000 credits per seat per month, and Max is €120 per seat per month with 40,000 credits, both excluding VAT; Enterprise is custom. A solo founder buys one Pro seat, so the directory's True Solo Cost is €24 low and €24 typical, in euros as published.
Is Dust enterprise-only?
No. The pricing page offers Business as a self-serve plan for teams up to 100 people, with published per-seat prices and no sales call required. Enterprise adds pooled credits, unlimited connectors, SCIM and single-tenant deployment at custom pricing, but a solo founder can start on Pro today.
What do credits buy, and what happens past the allowance?
Credits meter agent work on each seat: Pro includes 8,000 credits per seat per month and Max 40,000. The pricing page publishes programmatic usage at $0.01 per credit on Business, which is the stated per-credit rate beyond the seat model; heavy triggered workflows are what burn an allowance fastest.
Why is Dust priced in euros here?
Dust publishes the seat prices read on 2026-11-07 in euros, excluding VAT. This listing carries the published €24 and €120 figures unconverted, following the directory's precedent for euro-priced vendors, rather than inventing a dollar conversion.
