Per-seat AI subscriptions charge the same for a daily power user and a colleague who logs in twice a month. Pivotal Chat separates the two: token consumption is billed by Dust on actual usage, and the Pivotal Chat licence is charged only for active users.
Two components, both tied to real usage.
A traditional per-seat AI subscription costs around $30 per user per month. Based on the average consumption of occasional users billed per token by Dust, the same population lands near $4 per user per month — up to 80% less. The figure excludes the Pivotal Chat licence fee of €4.50 per active user per month.
Spend is visible before it becomes a surprise.
The initial Dust.tt account and subscription must be created by the Pivotal Chat account administrator. That service is provided by Dust, not by Pivotal Chat.
