The editorial take

Choose Dust AI if you want customizable, no-code agents and self-serve Pro pricing at €29/user/month for teams under 100.

Dust AI - Pros & Cons

Pros

  • ✓EU data residency is a decisive advantage for European buyers vs US-only alternatives
  • ✓Open-source SDK removes vendor-marketplace bottlenecks for custom integrations
  • ✓€29/user/month Pro is easier to model and budget than message-metered enterprise pricing
  • ✓Strong native connector list matches the SaaS stack of most European scale-ups
  • ✓Personal → team → company-wide assistant promotion enables organic bottom-up adoption

Cons

  • ✗Public pricing sits behind a JS-rendered page and isn't easy to compare in a spreadsheet
  • ✗Smaller US brand recognition than Glean or Microsoft Copilot Studio
  • ✗Marketplace of prebuilt integrations is more limited than Zapier-scale competitors
  • ✗Per-seat model can add up quickly if you want every employee to have optional access
  • ✗Enterprise controls (custom SSO, on-prem, air-gapped) are gated to the Enterprise tier

Glean - Pros & Cons

Pros

  • ✓Strong fit for Enterprise AI search workflows when the process is frequent and owned
  • ✓Enterprise search and work AI assistant built around company context and permissions

Cons

  • ✗Pricing, limits, and packaging should be rechecked before commitment
  • ✗Value depends on clear workflow ownership, human review, and success metrics
