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

Most Customizable AI Agent Platforms 2026
Most coverage of AI agent platforms rewards how quickly a working agent can be stood up. This ranking asks the opposite question: once it exists, how far can it be bent? What can be plugged into it, how much of the logic sits under the builder's control, and how much of that customization is reachable without an engineering team. It evaluates 8 platforms as of July 2026 on extensibility, ease of customization, customization depth, governance and deployment flexibility. It sits alongside Best AI Agent Platforms 2026, which weighs agent-building experience and autonomy more heavily, and Best LLM App Platforms 2026, which weighs evaluation and production tooling. The same platforms place differently across the three because the three ask different questions. Scores are comparable within a ranking and never across them.
Best AI Agent Builders for Non-Developers in 2026
Eight AI agent builders are ranked here for operations, marketing and customer-success teams that construct multi-step AI agents without writing production code. Gumloop scores 8.1 and ranks first, followed by Dust at 7.3, Relevance AI 7.2, Lindy 7.0, Replit Agent 6.2, Sema4.ai (Robocorp) 6.1, Trigger.dev 5.4 and Moxo 5.3, re-scored on 28 and 29 September 2026 on visual builder ergonomics, model and tool integration, observability and debugging, pricing accessibility, and documentation and templates. Relay.app, which shut down in September 2026, was removed (relay.app, read 29 September 2026), and Stack AI and Magic Loops were considered but not scored because neither was in the Automation Atlas database at evaluation time. Each figure carries its own source and retrieval date.
