Dust vs Gumloop

Dust

• Companies that want agents grounded in internal knowledge
• Teams that mix light and heavy users on different seat types
• Organizations that need US or EU data residency

Gumloop

• Teams that want non-engineers to build their own agents
• Companies that prefer unlimited seats on one shared credit pool
• Agents that answer in Slack or Microsoft Teams

Dust

• The Free seat is a one-time allowance of 500 credits, not a monthly quota; once it is used, free users are prompted to request an upgrade.
• The self-serve Business plan covers teams of up to 100 and is limited to 3 data source connectors, 5 remote MCP servers and 5 spaces.
• SCIM provisioning, audit logs, custom data retention and single-tenant deployment require Enterprise.
• Monthly credits reset each billing period without rolling over, and listed prices exclude VAT.

Gumloop

• There is no free plan: new accounts get a one-time 14-day Pro trial that requires a card and converts to paid unless canceled.
• Pro credits do not roll over, and agents stop at 20,000 credits a month unless pay-as-you-go is switched on.
• Bringing your own model API key removes token costs but raises the orchestration fee from 8% to 16%.
• Role-based access control, SCIM and SAML, audit logs, the admin dashboard and data exports are limited to Enterprise.

Dust

Agents with company context

Agents draw on connected company data from sources such as Slack, Notion, Google Drive, GitHub, Salesforce and Zendesk to answer questions and take action.

Model choice per agent

All plans include 20+ models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral and DeepSeek. The model is chosen per agent, and none is locked to a higher plan.

Schedules and triggers

Multi-agent workflows can run on a schedule or in response to events. Dust also lists Zapier, Make, n8n and Power Automate as supported automation platforms.

Spaces and permissions

Spaces segment data by team, and a two-layer permission model separates what agents can access from who can use them. The Business plan includes 5 spaces.

Frames

Frames turn agent output into interactive dashboards, reports and memos that a team can explore and work on together.

Slack and Chrome extension

Agents can be mentioned in any Slack channel or messaged directly, and a Chrome extension opens them in a sidebar on any web page.

Gumloop

Agents on your tools and data

Agents work across more than 300 connectors and shared company knowledge, with a choice of 35+ models or your own model API keys.

Triggers, schedules and API

App triggers and recurring schedules start agents automatically, and a REST API can run them from other systems.

Skills

Agents write reusable playbooks called skills, which can be shared across a team and synced with GitHub.

Slack, Teams and Gmail

Agents can be @mentioned in Slack channels and threads, brought into Microsoft Teams chats and channels, and used to draft and triage mail in Gmail.

Sharing and permissions

An agent built by one person can be shared with an individual, a team or the whole organization at owner, editor, viewer or use-only level.

Usage-based credits

Model tokens, compute and paid tool calls are billed at list price in credits worth $0.005 each, plus an 8% orchestration fee, or 16% when you bring your own model keys.
