Together AIBUY
OpenAI-class API, open-source weights, half the price

Choose Together AI if...

Teams running production LLM workloads who want open-model pricing, anyone fine-tuning, multi-provider router setups.

Avoid Together AI if...

If you need the absolute frontier (GPT-5, Claude Opus 4.7) — those are first-party only. Stick with Anthropic/OpenAI direct.

Choose Dust if...

European enterprises wanting Glean-style work assistance with more agent customization; product teams shipping internal AI agents to business users.

Avoid Dust if...

M365 shops (Copilot is bundled), or teams needing the deepest possible search index (Glean still wins on raw retrieval scope).

Both suited for: medium, large, enterprise companies

Since both tools target medium and large and enterprise companies, your decision should hinge on the specific use case above rather than company fit. Try the AI Advisor to get a recommendation tailored to your exact stack.
