Dust vs Hyperagent

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

Hyperagent

• Teams that want recurring research or reporting run by agents on a schedule
• Agencies and consultancies keeping client work in separate workspaces
• People who want agents they can reach from Slack, Telegram or email

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.

Hyperagent

• The billing documentation describes no free plan or free trial; plans start at $20 a month, charged up front.
• Plan credit does not roll over: unused credit expires at the end of each billing period, and runs pause when it is spent unless you top up.
• Pay As You Go and annual plans were discontinued on August 26, 2026, so billing is monthly only.
• The Slack assistant needs a workspace on a paid Slack plan, and the only mobile app listed is for iPhone and iPad.

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.

Hyperagent

Agents with their own computer

Each agent has a name, instructions, tools, knowledge and its own computing environment, where it can drive a live browser, run code and work with files and repositories.

Many ways to start a run

An agent can be invoked from a thread, Slack, Telegram, an email address of its own, a webhook, an MCP client such as Claude or Cursor, another agent or a recurring schedule.

Live Mode

Keeps an agent on a checklist so it checks for changes at an interval, stays quiet while all is well and alerts you only when something needs attention.

Published deliverables

Agents publish reports, dashboards and slide decks as versioned pages with public URLs, and can generate images, short video, speech and maps.

Memories, skills and rubrics

Agents propose memories and reusable skills from their runs for you to accept or dismiss, and rubrics score real work against a standard you define.

Workspaces and Shared Billing

Workspaces scope shared agents, skills and memories with roles for each member, and an owner can move invited members onto one organization payment method.
