Dust overhauls pricing: credit-metered Free/Pro/Max seats replace flat €29 Pro
Dust scrapped its flat €29/seat unlimited-message plan for a USD, credit-metered model with three seat types — Free ($0), Pro ($30/mo, $24 yearly), Max ($150/mo, $120 yearly) — plus its first free tier.
Flat €29/user/mo Pro (excl. tax) with unlimited fair-use messages; programmatic usage on free monthly credits ($5/$2/$1 per user); custom Enterprise quoted on active users. No free tier.
Business plan (teams up to 100) with three credit-bundled seat types — Free $0 (500 credits one-time), Pro $30/seat/mo or $24 yearly (8,000 credits/mo), Max $150/seat/mo or $120 yearly (40,000 credits/mo). Credits = token + action credits (Basic 1, Advanced 3); programmatic/API at $0.01/credit. Enterprise custom with workspace-pooled credits & volume pricing.
Dust replaced its long-stable flat-seat pricing with a tiered, credit-metered structure. The headline €29/user “unlimited fair-use messages” Pro plan — unchanged since at least May 2024 — is gone, swapped for a USD-denominated Business plan whose three seat types (Free / Pro / Max) each bundle a monthly AI-credit allowance.
Key shifts:
- Currency: EUR → USD.
- First free tier: a Free seat at $0 with a one-time 500-credit lifetime allocation.
- Quantified usage: every message now consumes credits (
token credits + action credits; Basic tools 1 credit, Advanced tools 3 credits) instead of being unlimited under fair use. Credits reset monthly and never roll over. - Seat tiers: Pro at $30/mo ($24 yearly, 8,000 credits/mo); Max at $150/mo ($120 yearly, 40,000 credits/mo). Yearly billing saves 20%.
- Programmatic rate: $0.01 per credit on Business; custom on Enterprise.
- Enterprise: now described with workspace-pooled credits and volume pricing rather than active-user quoting.
The change lands just weeks after Dust’s $40M Series B and is reflected in a freshly updated credits documentation page (“Updated 1 day ago”).
