The short answer: Pick Dust if you want to build many custom AI agents with a choice of 20+ models, US or EU hosting, and a mature per-tool approval system, paying €30 per seat a month (€24 yearly) in credits. Pick Enhanciar if you want a ready-made company brain that answers from your tools with a link to every source and drafts follow-ups into one approval queue without building agents, at a flat $100 a month for up to 10 people on your own AI key.
Comparison
Enhanciar vs Dust
Dust and Enhanciar overlap more than most: both connect your tools, cite sources, take actions with approval and review pull requests. The difference is build-your-own agents versus a ready-made brain, and how you pay.
When to pick Dust
- You want to build and share many specialised agents across departments.
- You want to switch between 20+ models without managing keys, and a choice of US or EU hosting.
- You need 70+ connectors, Snowflake or BigQuery, or certifications today (Dust lists SOC 2 Type II).
- You want a no-cost seat to start with.
When to pick Enhanciar
- You don’t want to design agents: connect sources and ask; the wiki and knowledge graph are built for you.
- You want one flat price: Solo $24/month, or Team $100/month for up to 10 people, not per seat. Ten Dust Pro seats are €300 a month (€240 yearly), with usage in credits.
- Business plans on Dust allow up to 3 connectors; Enhanciar has no connector cap on any plan.
- You would rather bring your own Gemini, OpenAI or Anthropic key and pay the AI provider at cost than buy AI credits with a margin on top.
- It keeps decision memory (why something was decided, who decided and where) and flags conflicting sources.
- Engineers ask too: it reads GitHub (syncing on every push), answers “what breaks if I change this?” and reviews pull requests on repos where you turn it on.

What actually differs
Dust is an agent platform: you build agents, pick models per agent, and give them tools; each tool has a “stake” level, and high-stake tools such as sending an email ask for approval every time. It also reviews pull requests and works with MCP both ways. It is a strong product with a wider connector list than Enhanciar.
Enhanciar is opinionated instead of configurable. Connect GitHub, Slack, Gmail, Drive, Calendar, Notion, Confluence, Jira, Linear, Zendesk and databases, and it builds one cited wiki and knowledge graph your whole team asks. Every action it drafts lands in one Actions queue for a person to approve, and approved actions run once; MCP clients can propose but never approve. Pricing is flat and the AI is billed by your own provider at cost, so a heavy month doesn’t burn through credits. Enhanciar’s SOC 2 Type II audit is in progress, not finished; it has no Microsoft Teams app and no CRM or HR connectors yet.

FAQ
Things people ask.
How much does Dust cost?
Dust Pro is €30 per seat a month, or €24 billed yearly, with 8,000 credits per seat a month; Max is €150 (€120 yearly); Enterprise is contact sales. Prices exclude VAT. Business plans cover teams up to 100 people with up to 3 connectors.
Does Dust ask for approval before actions?
Yes. Dust gives each tool a stake level; for example, sending an email is high stake and requires explicit approval every time.
Is Enhanciar a Dust alternative?
Yes, for teams that want a ready-made company brain instead of building agents. Enhanciar answers from your tools with a link to every source, drafts follow-ups into one approval queue, and costs $100 a month flat for up to 10 people on your own AI key.
Can I bring my own OpenAI key to Dust?
Dust bills model usage in its own credits; we could not find a documented bring-your-own-key setup on its pages. Enhanciar always runs on your own Gemini, OpenAI or Anthropic key.
How much does Enhanciar cost?
Solo is $24 a month and Team is $100 a month for up to 10 people (one flat price, not per seat), billed monthly; Enterprise is custom. Every plan is paid, and you bring your own Gemini, OpenAI or Anthropic key and pay that provider directly; Enhanciar adds $0 on AI usage.
