Mistral AI pricing and plans guide for the UK (2025)

Mistral AI is a rapidly emerging AI provider offering large language models (LLMs) and AI services that rival more established players like OpenAI. Its innovative solutions tailored to enterprise needs have gained the attention of many UK businesses looking to implement AI into their daily operations. In this guide, we'll break down Mistral AI pricing plans and costs in 2025, covering everything from the free tier up to enterprise plans and API pricing.

Since Mistral's fees are billed in foreign currency (USD/EUR) and many UK companies pay for subscriptions in dollars, we'll also explore how to avoid unnecessary bank fees. With the Wise Business multi-currency account and card, you can pay for AI tools like Mistral at the mid-market rate with minimal fees, helping your business save money on every subscription payment.

Mistral AI pricing overview

Mistral AI model pricing combines subscription plans for its AI assistant platform ("Le Chat") with usage-based fees for its developer API ("La Plateforme"). You can choose a fixed monthly plan for general use, while heavy-duty integrations or custom model usage are charged per output. Mistral provides a free tier to try the service, affordable Pro and Team plans for individuals and small teams, and Enterprise agreements for advanced needs.¹

Plan	Monthly Price	Annual Price
Free	$0	$0
Pro	$14.99 ($6.99 student)	$179.88 per year ($14.99×12)
Team	$24.99 per user	$19.99 per user/month
Enterprise	Custom (quote-based)	Custom (annual contracts)

Free plan pricing

The Free plan costs £0 – it's completely free to use. You can sign up and start using Mistral's AI without any subscription fee. This makes it a "try-before-you-buy" option, ideal for experimenting with the platform's capabilities risk-free.

Free plan features

Despite being free, Mistral's base tier is quite generous. It grants access to the core AI chat features, including things like quick Flash Answers, the code interpreter, document uploads, and even verified news search – all on the powerful Mistral models. Usage limits do exist (roughly ~25 messages or equivalent usage before hitting caps)², especially if you use resource-intensive features (like complex multimodal queries).

Is the Free plan right for my business?

The Free plan is best for casual use or initial testing. If you're a small UK business or individual just brainstorming ideas or evaluating AI, the free tier lets you explore Mistral's tools without any commitment. It's ideal for "casual brainstorming" and for seeing what Mistral can do before upgrading.

Pro plan pricing

The Pro plan costs $14.99 per month (approximately £11.5 at current rates). This is a flat monthly subscription for one user. There isn't a publicly advertised annual prepay option for Pro (unlike the Team tier), so you can assume roughly $180 per year if you plan on using it for 12 months. Notably, students are eligible for a large discount on Pro – paying only $6.99/month if they verify academic status. The Pro plan is often considered the "popular" paid tier for solo users.

Pro plan features

The Pro plan unlocks unlimited chats and significantly higher usage compared to the Free plan (a "soft cap" of about 6× the Free plan's usage, to ensure fair use). It comes with 150 Flash Answers per day, which are ultra-fast and brief answers great for quick facts or ideas.

Crucially, Pro introduces a "No Telemetry Mode", meaning you can toggle your account so that none of your prompts or data are used to train Mistral's models. Other features available in Pro include building custom Agents (automated workflows or chatbots tailored to tasks) and all the standard capabilities (code interpreter, image generation, etc.), but with higher limits or full access.

Is the Pro plan right for my business?

The Pro plan is ideal for solo professionals, developers, or small business owners who are the primary users of Mistral AI. If you're a marketing manager, tech lead, or entrepreneur using Mistral for your own projects, Pro offers excellent value. UK freelancers and consultants will find this plan cost-effective for tasks like content creation, coding assistance or data analysis. It's a "sweet spot" for power-users² – you get advanced features (like custom agents and data privacy controls) at a modest fee.

Team plan pricing

The Team plan is priced at $24.99 per user, per month on a monthly billing cycle. If billed annually, the price drops to an equivalent of $19.99 per user per month (paid as one annual sum). In pounds sterling, that's roughly £19-15 per user each month, depending on billing, though exact GBP cost will depend on exchange rates and any taxes. The Team plan cost scales with the number of users, and you can add or remove seats as your team size changes.

Team plan features

Mistral's Team plan is designed for collaboration and organisational control. Each user on the team gains the full power of Pro, along with additional team-wide benefits. Key Team features include domain name verification, shared knowledge & RAG library, connectors to business tools, admin console & centralised billing.³ Team accounts are opted out of data sharing by default, and there are also zero data retention options – meaning Mistral won't store your prompts or outputs long-term.

Is the Team plan right for my business?

The Team plan is best suited for SMEs and growing startups where multiple employees need to use Mistral AI regularly. Businesses with roughly 5–20 users will find this tier optimal. It ensures consistency and control that single Pro accounts can't offer. If collaboration and data governance are important, the Team plan is likely worth the higher per-user cost.

Enterprise plan pricing

Enterprise pricing for Mistral AI is custom and quote-based. Large businesses negotiate a contract with Mistral for a tailored package. From reports, a typical entry-point is around $20,000+ per month or a committed annual spend in that range. In exchange, the organisation receives a suite of premium services and possibly dedicated infrastructure. The actual price will depend on factors like the number of users, usage volumes, whether you require on-premise deployment, custom model fine-tuning, and support level.

Enterprise plan features

The Enterprise plan is the "all-inclusive" offering for large organisations or those with specialised requirements. Some hallmark features of Mistral Enterprise include:

• Dedicated & enhanced models
• Private/on-premise deployment
• No-code agent builders
• Full audit logs and support
• Exclusion from training & data residency
• Custom integrations and connectors

Is the Enterprise Plan right for my business?

Enterprise is targeted at large companies and organisations with advanced AI needs. If you're a Fortune 500 company, a financial institution, or a firm in a highly regulated sector, the Enterprise plan offers the control and customisation you need. It's also the only route if you require on-premise deployment or custom model training, which aren't available in lower tiers. For the UK's larger enterprises or government projects, this plan ensures that data stays within your environment and that you get a dedicated service.

How much do Mistral AI add-ons cost?

While Mistral AI doesn't have any official add-ons, it's important to note that its APIs represent a large part of its offering. When it comes to Mistral AI API pricing plans, there's a large selection of API models with varying pricing,⁴ divided into several categories. Some of Mistral's numerous API models include:

• Premier Model: Mistral Medium 3, Magistral Medium, Mistral Large, Devstral Medium, Codestral
• Open models: Mistral Small 3.2, Magistral Small, Devstral Small, Voxtral Small
• Fine-tuning on API: Mistral NeMo, Mistral Large 24.11, Pixtral 12B
• Classifier models: Classifier API model 8B, Classifier API model 3B, Mistral Moderation 24.11
• Embedding models: Codestral Embed, Mistral Embed
• Tools: Connectors, Enterprise search, Agent API, Code execution, Web search
• Other models: Pixtral Large, Mistral Saba, Mistral NeMo

What is the pricing currency for Mistral AI, and how does it convert to GBP?

Mistral AI displays its prices in US Dollars (USD) by default, and also in Euros (EUR) for some customers.¹ For UK businesses, this means your Mistral subscription or usage fees will likely be charged in USD or EUR. Keep in mind that if you pay with a typical UK business credit card, your bank will handle the currency conversion, often with extra foreign transaction fees.

To avoid losing money on currency exchange, consider using a Wise Business account to pay your Mistral bills. A Wise multi-currency card lets you hold and pay in 40+ currencies directly, so you're not charged high conversion fees each time. You get the mid-market exchange rate with no large markups.

How to save on your Mistral AI bill next month

Whether you're a startup on the Pro plan or an enterprise using the API, it's wise to optimise your Mistral usage and avoid any unnecessary costs. Here are some tips for UK businesses to save on Mistral AI bills:

• Choose the right plan tier: Carefully compare Mistral's plans and pick the one that fits your actual needs.
• Audit feature usage regularly: Each month or quarter, review how your team is using Mistral. Likewise, check your API token usage – if you're only using a fraction of your allowance, you might optimise prompts or switch to a smaller model to cut costs.
• Optimise API usage and model choice: Choose the smallest model that gets the job done. Craft efficient prompts to get the information you need in fewer tokens. Consider batching requests, if possible.
• Consider short-term vs long-term needs: If you foresee a short-term spike in usage, compare the cost of temporarily upgrading your plan versus pay-as-you-go usage.
• Eliminate foreign transaction fees: Use a multi-currency card like the Wise Business card to pay for Mistral in USD directly. You'll get the mid-market rate* and low, transparent fees for conversion, ensuring you aren't leaking money on each bill.
