Our take

Dust is the right call if your goal is to build and ship configured AI agents and assistants on top of your company's data sources, with the multi-workspace and SSO controls a larger org needs. Switchy is the right call if you want one shared team chat where multiple models (Claude, GPT-5, Gemini) and connected tools share one memory — and you want that memory to follow you into Claude Code, Cursor, Claude Desktop, and ChatGPT through MCP, with a free solo tier to start.

Where Dust wins

Dust wins when the job is agent-building: it gives you a real framework for assembling assistants over connected data, multiple workspaces, and the admin/SSO surface a 100+ person org expects. If you want to design, configure, and deploy bespoke agents — not just chat — that's the workflow Dust is built for, and it's more purpose-built for that than a team chat is.

## Where each tool fits Dust is the answer when you want to *build* AI agents — assistants configured over your connected company data, deployed for your team, with the workspace and SSO governance a larger organisation needs. If your team has the appetite to design and maintain bespoke agents, Dust is purpose-built for that and gives you real structure to do it. Switchy starts from a different premise: most small teams don't want to build and maintain agents — they want one room where the team, several AI models, and a few connected tools share context, and where that context doesn't evaporate between conversations or stay trapped in one app. A Switchy Space is that room: @-mention Claude, GPT-5, or Gemini per message, connect GitHub / Linear / Slack / Gmail via MCP, and the accumulated memory becomes its own MCP server so it shows up inside every teammate's Claude Code, Cursor, Claude Desktop, and ChatGPT. If you're a 2–15 person team that wants shared multi-model context today — not an agent-building project — Switchy is the lighter path, and it's free to start solo. ## Pricing snapshot (as of June 2026) Dust's Pro plan is billed per seat (listed at €29/user/month) with a 14-day free trial and no permanent free tier; Enterprise pricing is custom and aimed at organisations of 100+ members with multiple workspaces and SSO. Dust's published pricing is the source of truth. Switchy Team is $49/month + $12/seat ($39 + $10 annual), credits pooled across the team (5,000/mo base + 1,000/mo per seat), with a free Starter tier and no seat minimum. ## Try it [Start a free Switchy Space](https://switchy.build/register) — solo or with 1–2 teammates, no card.
