RevoFi vs. Dust
Our closest philosophical cousin — shared context between people and agents — without the business systems underneath.
The honest verdict
Dust got the thesis right: people and agents sharing context. It stopped one layer short of the business.
Where Dust is genuinely excellent
Respect first: Dust is the closest philosophical competitor to Raven — a multiplayer AI workspace where people and agents share context, multi-model by design, open source, with real enterprise customers. Of everything in this category, it is the product we would most recommend to a team that only wants the agent workspace layer.
What it does not cover
But it is exactly one layer. Dust ships no email client, no CRM, no campaigns, no messaging server and no client-facing access — the systems a business actually runs on stay as separate subscriptions, joined by connectors. It is billed per seat, on shared infrastructure.
The shared-context thesis is right. RevoFi’s difference is that it builds the rest of the business underneath it rather than connecting out to it.

Every RevoFi capability in this table is shipping in production today. Anything still in rollout or in design is excluded from it and carries a dated availability label in the full matrix.
What each side costs
Each figure is the vendor’s own published list price for the named plan, with the date we last checked it and a link to the page it came from. Promotional rates are excluded because they expire.
The arithmetic at 10 people
Dust — Pro seat
$300/month
10 people at the published rate — for the agent workspace layer, with the systems under it still separate.
RevoFi Raven — Business
$174/month
The same 10 people — including the workspace and the systems under it.
Both figures are subscription prices only. RevoFi meters AI compute, storage overage, messaging and API usage separately in RDC.

Dust
Cancel Dust and your agents’ shared context goes with it — the underlying tools it connected were always someone else’s.
RevoFi Raven
Cancel RevoFi and the honest answer is that you would be cancelling your whole operation — which is exactly why your data is exportable and yours, and why export is part of the product rather than a support ticket.
How to read this comparison
Capability comparisons reflect each vendor’s public documentation as of 2026-08-11 and change frequently; where a competitor is strong, we have marked it. "Partial" means the capability requires building, an add-on, a connector into a separate paid product, or exists in a materially narrower form — it is not a judgement of quality. Prices are each vendor’s own published list price for the named plan, checked on the date shown beside it, and exclude promotional rates because those expire.
