Dust splits action credits into a third, explicit free tier
Dust's credit docs now show three action-credit tiers instead of two: a new Free (0-credit) tier explicitly covers memory, agent routing, common utilities, most orchestration helpers, skills management, and most Pods/Files actions.
Two tiers — Basic (1 credit: web search, agent routing, memory, platform utilities) and Advanced (3 credits: data retrieval, connectors, file/image generation, external MCP) — with a separate, contradictory note that routing/memory/utilities were actually exempt from action credits.
Three tiers — Free (0 credit: memory, agent routing, common utilities, most orchestration helpers, skills management, most Pods/Files actions), Basic (1 credit: run agent/schedule, web search, Frame editing, Pods creation, analytics), and Advanced (3 credits: knowledge retrieval, frame creation, output generation, all external MCP/3rd-party integrations).
Dust’s public credits documentation was rewritten to resolve an internal inconsistency: the prior two-tier table listed agent routing, memory, and platform utilities under the paid “Basic” tier (1 credit), while a separate line item said those same actions were exempt from action credits entirely. The new three-tier breakdown resolves this by carving out an explicit Free (0-credit) tier and additionally categorizes newer capabilities — Skills management, Pods actions, and Analytics — that weren’t itemized in the credit-tier table before. No seat price changed: Free/Pro/Max ($0 / $30–24 / $150–120 per seat-month) are unaffected. The earliest capture showing the new three-tier language is 2026-07-23; the full table content was confirmed in later captures (2026-07-30, 2026-08-05).
Dust replaced the flat €29/seat unlimited-fair-use model with a USD, credit-metered structure. The Business plan (teams up to 100) now has three seat types: Free ($0, 500 credits one-time), Pro ($30/seat/mo or $24 yearly, 8,000 credits/mo), and Max ($150/seat/mo or $120 yearly, 40,000 credits/mo). Credits = token credits + action credits (Basic 1, Advanced 3); programmatic/API usage billed at $0.01/credit. Enterprise gains workspace-pooled credits + volume pricing. First public free tier.
