The honest brief

Dust

Org-wide 'multiplayer' AI over shared company knowledge — agents are built once and reused across teams, not siloed per user.

  • Agents shareable across the org
  • Broad workspace connector library
  • Per-agent choice of frontier models
  • MIT-licensed open codebase
  • No free tier beyond a 14-day trial
  • Per-seat cost scales with org size

Relevance AI

Prices on 'actions' with unlimited agents on every tier, so cost tracks work done rather than per-agent headcount.

  • Unlimited agents on all tiers
  • No-code multi-agent 'workforce' builder
  • BYO-LLM on paid plans
  • Library of tools and triggers
  • Action-based billing can be opaque
  • Cloud-only, no self-host
  • Governance depth still maturing
