How much does Dust cost in 2026?
Quick Answer: Dust is now credits-metered per seat (verified July 2026): a Free 14-day trial, Pro at $30/seat/month ($24 billed annually, with 8,000 credits per seat/month), a new Max seat at $150/seat/month ($120 annual, 40,000 credits per seat), and custom Enterprise. Each seat includes connectors (Notion, Slack, Drive, GitHub, Microsoft 365) and a choice of Claude, GPT, or Mistral models, with credit overages billed separately. The credit model replaced the earlier flat "~$29 Pro" framing, and the Max seat is the 2026 addition for heavy users.
Dust Pricing (as of July 2026)
Dust moved to a credits-metered per-seat model.
| Plan | Price | Credits | Key Features |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 (14-day trial) | Limited | Standard connectors, Pro features during trial |
| Pro seat | $30/seat/mo ($24 annual) | 8,000/seat/mo | Connectors + custom assistants; Claude/GPT/Mistral |
| Max seat | $150/seat/mo ($120 annual) | 40,000/seat/mo | Higher credit allowance (new) |
| Enterprise | Custom | Negotiated | SSO, SCIM, audit logs, EU/US regions, CSM |
The 2026 change is that Pro is $30/seat ($24 annual) with an 8,000-credit allowance (not a flat "~$29"), and a new Max seat at $150 ($120 annual, 40,000 credits) serves heavy users. Token/credit overages bill separately.
How Dust compares
| Tool | Price | Model |
|---|---|---|
| Dust Pro | $30/seat/mo ($24 annual) | Credits-metered, multi-model |
| Microsoft Copilot (M365) | $30/user/mo | Bundled into Microsoft contracts |
| Glean Enterprise | ~$40-50/user/mo (quoted) | Enterprise search + assistants |
Dust positions Pro against Microsoft Copilot on price while offering model choice (Claude/GPT/Mistral) and a broad connector set; the credit allowance is the variable to watch for agent-heavy teams.
Editor's Note: Dust sits in the "company knowledge + custom AI assistants" category against Microsoft Copilot and Glean, and its differentiator is model choice plus connectors rather than being tied to one vendor's stack. Re-checked July 2026: Dust is now explicitly credits-metered — Pro is $30/seat ($24 annual) with 8,000 credits, and a new Max seat ($150, 40,000 credits) exists for power users — so for a team running many assistant queries, model the credit burn per seat, because that allowance, not the seat price, is what sets the real cost. — Rafal Fila, ShadowGen
