How does Dust pricing work?
The value metric is a seat with a credit allocation attached. 'A credit is Dust's unit for measuring AI usage', and consumption 'depends on the model used, the complexity of the task, and any tools the agent uses'. The seat type sets the size of each person's allocation, so a team pays for headcount and for intensity at once. Packaging keeps capability flat inside Business: every seat gets '20+ frontier models', custom agents and multi-agent workflows, and the FAQ adds 'No model is locked behind a higher plan, though higher-capability models may consume more credits per message.' What separates Business from Enterprise is scale and control: 'Up to 3' connectors against unlimited, '5 remote' MCP servers, and SCIM, audit logs, single-tenant deployment and 'Custom legal terms (MSA, DPA)' on Enterprise only.
The motion is self-serve for teams and sales-led above 100 people. A link to 'The economics of multiplayer AI' sits above 'Pricing that scales with the work you get done', then two cards: Business with 'Start for free' and a 'Yearly Save 20%' and 'Monthly' switch over the three seat prices, and Enterprise with 'Talk to sales' and 'Everything in Business plus:'. 'Compare plans feature by feature' groups rows into Features, Company data, Security & admin, Support and Developer tools under a sticky header with a 'Search features' field and both buttons. Eight FAQs explain credits, rollover, overage, seat types, proration and models, before a closing section on 'AI Operators'.
Under the hood, Dust runs a credit pool per seat that resets each period, with a capped overage behind it. 'Each seat's monthly credit allocation resets at the start of every billing period', and when it runs out, 'Pro and Max users will be able to continue through workspace overage if enabled by an admin up to a capped amount.' Enterprise changes the shape to 'Workspace-pooled credits & volume pricing', one balance for the company with negotiated rates, and API usage is metered at a 'Programmatic usage rate' of '$0.01 / credit'. Seat changes are prorated, with new members getting 'their full credit allocation immediately'. Worth borrowing: seat types sized by usage, which lets a team buy heavy and light users at different prices inside one plan.
What does Dust's pricing page do well?
- Three seat types sit inside one Business card, each with its credit allocation printed under the price
- The FAQ answers the billing questions in order: 'What is a credit?', 'Do unused credits roll over?' and 'What happens when I run out of credits?'
- The comparison table has a sticky header with a 'Search features' field and both plan buttons
- 'Yearly Save 20%' sits on the switch itself, and the FAQ prints both prices, Pro at '$30/month, or $24/month billed yearly'
- Mid-cycle seat changes are explained in plain terms: prorated, with 'their full credit allocation immediately'
What does Dust's pricing page reveal about its pricing strategy?
- Seat types priced by expected usage let one plan carry occasional users and power users at different rates
- Credits that reset each period, with admin-enabled overage 'up to a capped amount', keep spend bounded for the buyer and the vendor
- 'Workspace-pooled credits & volume pricing' on Enterprise moves from per-seat grants to one company balance with negotiated rates
- A 'Programmatic usage rate' of '$0.01 / credit' prices API usage in the same unit as chat and agent work
- Every model is open on every seat, so credit consumption, not plan gating, carries the cost of frontier models
