Dust vs Hebbia (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Dust if

• Fits if your company wants agents that answer from its own docs and chats
• Works for organizations that need their data kept in the US or the EU

Look elsewhere if

• Tight if you're staying free, as the Free seat is 500 credits once and never refills
• Not for you if you need more than 3 data sources, 5 MCP servers or 5 spaces without an Enterprise deal
• Skip it if you need audit logs, SCIM or custom data retention, which sit on the custom-priced Enterprise plan
• Pricey if heavy users need Max, at $120 a seat a month billed yearly or $150 monthly
• Watch out: credits don't roll over, prices exclude VAT, and there's no phone or desktop app

Pick Hebbia if

• Fits if you work in banking, private equity or credit and review big document sets
• Works for law firms pulling terms out of many contracts at once

Look elsewhere if

• Not for you if you want a published price, as only a demo request is offered
• Skip it if you are an individual or small team, since it is aimed at institutional finance and legal work
• Watch out: connectors such as FactSet or PitchBook depend on a licence you pay for separately
• Not for you if you want a free try, because none is offered

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.

Hebbia

• No prices are published; the site only offers a demo request.
• It is built for institutional finance and legal work, not for individuals or small teams without those data sources.
• Many data connectors, such as FactSet or PitchBook, depend on the firm having its own license for that data.

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.

Hebbia

Max

An agent that takes on deal-team tasks such as modeling, screening a target list, spreading comps and recapping earnings calls from the firm's own data.
