Dust fits you if…
You have someone technical who wants to build and look after the agents. You use a lot of tools and need them hooked up today. And you want an English-language product you can sign up for this afternoon.
Dust and Flipa
A Dust AI alternative, without throwing stones
If you're looking for a Dust AI alternative, you probably want what Dust offers, agents that know your company, and you're not sure your team has someone to build and look after them. Dust is a tool for creating and sharing AI agents inside a company, tied to its knowledge and its tools. Here's who it suits better than us, and where Flipa, which is after the same thing by another road, might fit a small team instead.
The example is Juniper Row Labs, a made-up skincare manufacturer with sixty people. Before anything else: Flipa's app interface is in Spanish today.
Side by side
Where they're alike and where they aren't
Dust's side, as its website tells it. Flipa's side, what exists today.
| Dust | Flipa | |
|---|---|---|
| Who it's for | Per its site, company teams with someone who builds and runs the agents. Its Business plan is for teams of up to 100 people | Small and midsize companies with nobody dedicated to setting it up |
| App language | Site and documentation in English | App interface in Spanish only today. It answers in the language you write in |
| How agents are created | By describing one in a conversation, in its builder with a helper that drafts the instructions, or by importing a file | By talking: it looks at what it already knows about the company, asks one to three questions and shows a proposal |
| Integrations | Its site advertises 70+ connectors. How many come with each plan: check its pricing page | Two work today, switched on by us, plus a keyed connection. Fourteen more in testing |
| AI models | 20+, from several providers, per its pricing page | No choice: it uses Claude, from Anthropic |
| Price and billing | Published. Per seat, and each seat includes credits spent per message. For amounts, see “dust.tt pricing” below | From $99/mo per account, with 3 seats and a pool of 20,000 credits a month for the whole account, plus applicable taxes. Bought by card on its site, cancel anytime |
| Signing up | Open: you start on its site, with a free seat | On its site: free Trial with no card, or a plan by card |
Dust: checked on November 12, 2026, on its website, its pricing page and its documentation; links under “Sources,” further down. Dust charges per seat and Flipa per account, with several seats included: to compare, multiply Dust's seat price by your headcount.
Who each one is for
Choose by what your team is like, not by the feature list
Flipa fits you if…
You're a small team and nobody has time to configure anything. What you know is in documents and on your website, not spread across twenty tools. And your team can live with an app whose menus are in Spanish for now.
How you create one in Flipa
The same agent, by form or by two answers
On the left, what a setup form usually asks for. On the right, what Flipa asks once it already knows the company. Click one option in each question.
5 fields to fill invs.2 clicks
With a setup form
This is how an agent gets configured in many tools. Check each one's site to see what theirs looks like.
You can type in them. Nothing is saved or sent.
By talking
I need an agent that drafts replies to questions about our products
Already know How you talk, the catalog and what can't be said about a cosmetic. I won't ask you that.
Who writes in with those questions?
If they ask about an ingredient that isn't on the product sheet, what should it do?
The proposal
New agent: Spa questions
- What it's for
- Drafts the reply to spas asking about a product.
- What you told me
- Spas write in. If an ingredient is missing from the product sheet, it says it does not have it and flags it to you.
What I decided myself, in case you want to change it
- Keeps it formal, as in your tone guide.
- Never says a product treats or cures anything: that's in your limits.
- Signs as “Professional Accounts.”
In Flipa, this is where you'd create it with one click or test it before saving.
The left column is a generic form, not Dust's screen: its documentation says an agent in Dust can also be described in a conversation. The right column sums up how Flipa does it, with a made-up skincare company. In the real app, Flipa's labels are in Spanish today.
What you might not expect
Four things about Flipa that don't show up in a table
We're not saying nobody else has them. We're saying they're what people ask us about most after trying it.
A meter that says how much it knows
A percentage, measured the same way for every company, and the three topics that would raise it most.
How well do you know Juniper Row so far?
A list of what it was asked and didn't know
If it isn't in any document, it says so and logs the topic. If it comes up again, it counts the times.
Do we sell the serum in a back-bar size?
It tests the agent before creating it
It throws three requests at it, two ordinary and one hard one it makes up, and says of each whether the answer holds and why.
Have Flipa test it
You correct it with a thumbs-down
Thumbs down, and you write how it should have answered. If you're an admin, it applies from that moment.
Here you should have said it's for professional use only
Where Dust is ahead
In several things, and for a US team several of them are decisive. Better to say it straight:
- An app in English. Dust's site and documentation are in English. Flipa answers in the language you write in, but its app interface is in Spanish only today.
- Integrations. Its site advertises 70+ connectors. In Flipa two work today, both switched on by us, plus a keyed connection for tools that offer one for assistants; fourteen more are in testing. The unvarnished detail is on our integrations page.
- Choosing the model. Per its pricing page, Dust lets you pick among 20+ models from several providers. In Flipa there's no choice: it uses Claude, from Anthropic.
- A free seat to try it. You can start today on its site without paying, and its pricing is published. Flipa too: its Trial is free with no card (2,000 credits, one time), and plans are bought by card on its site.
- Assurances for bigger companies. Dust's site states a SOC 2 Type II certification and a choice between US and EU data regions. Flipa has no certifications and no outside audit.
And the rest of what Flipa doesn't have today: the Chrome extension isn't in Google's extension store, so you install it by hand, and it's still in testing. The product itself is young and still being used in testing. If you need something you can buy and show your IT person this week, Dust makes that easier.
The same place, by two roads
Dust and Flipa want the same thing: agents that know the company. Dust gets there by connecting everything: the more tools you hook up, the more it knows. Flipa gets there by asking and reading: upload what you have, tell it what's missing, and it tells you how much it already knows. For Juniper Row Labs, with sixty people and an IT lead who enjoys building things, the first road makes a lot of sense. For a company of fifteen with nobody like that, maybe the second.
One point of fairness: in Dust you don't build an agent only by filling in a form. Its documentation explains that you can also describe it in a conversation, and that a helper drafts the instructions with you. If you want to see what the process looks like in Flipa, it's on the agents page, and the step-by-step version is in the guide to creating an AI agent.
dust.tt pricing: how Dust charges
See Dust's pricing page. Per their website, Dust charges per seat, and each seat comes with monthly credits that are spent per message. There's a free seat with 500 credits, a Pro seat and a Max seat, a Business plan for teams of up to 100 people, and custom pricing for larger companies. Checked on November 12, 2026: when we loaded the page it showed its amounts in euros, not US dollars, so we don't quote a figure here. See their pricing page for what you'd pay.
Dust, Dust AI or dust.tt?
All the same tool. Its website lives on the dust.tt domain, which is why people search for “dust.tt” as often as for Dust AI agents. As for dust.tt reviews: we make a different product and haven't been a Dust customer, so we don't rate it and we don't summarize anyone else's ratings. Read them on independent review sites, newest first. If you're comparing ready-made helpers instead, see Sintra AI; everything else is in all comparisons.

Frequently asked questions
What people ask when they compare Dust
What is Dust and what is it for?
It's a tool for a company's teams to create, share and use AI agents tied to their knowledge and their tools. Its site talks about engineering, marketing, support, product and sales teams. Each agent has its instructions, its sources and what it's allowed to use.
Is dust.tt the same as Dust AI?
Yes. dust.tt is the domain its website lives on, so “Dust,” “Dust AI” and “dust.tt” all point to the same product.
How much does Dust cost?
Dust publishes its pricing: per seat, with monthly credits included in each seat, and a free seat to start. The page showed amounts in euros when we loaded it on November 12, 2026, so we don't quote a US dollar figure. The link is under “dust.tt pricing” on this page.
How is Flipa different from Dust?
In the road it takes. Dust gets to know the company by connecting to its tools, and lets you choose the model. Flipa gets to know it by reading its documents and website and asking for what's missing, with a meter that says how much it knows. Dust advertises more integrations, has an English site and lets you try it with a free seat; Flipa has a free Trial with no card, and its app is in Spanish today. Both publish prices: Dust per seat, Flipa per account.
Which one suits a company of fewer than twenty people?
If there's someone technical and a lot of tools to hook up, Dust, which you can also try today. If nobody is going to spend time building it and what you have is documents and a website, Flipa is the Dust alternative to look at. Keep in mind that Flipa starts at $99/mo per account, bought by card on the pricing page, and has a Spanish-language interface.
Dust and Flipa, in three lines
- Same goal: agents that know your company.
- A different road: Dust connects everything, Flipa asks and reads.
- Flipa: agents you create by talking, in an app that's in Spanish for now.
