Estimated daily and monthly costs for common usage patterns. Assumes an average of ~1,000 input tokens and ~500 output tokens per request.
Note: Actual costs vary with prompt length, response length, and batch processing. Mistral offers competitive pricing and batch API discounts for high-volume usage. Try the interactive calculator for custom estimates.
Mistral charges per token, not per request. A token is roughly 3/4 of a word. The sentence "Hello, how are you?" is about 6 tokens. Prices are quoted per million tokens. Input tokens (your prompts) are cheaper than output tokens (the model's response) because output generation requires more computation.
Mistral Large is the most powerful model for complex reasoning, multilingual tasks, and code generation. Mistral Small offers an excellent balance of performance and cost for most production use cases. Codestral is specialized for code completion and generation, supporting 80+ programming languages with optimized performance.
Mistral is known for releasing open-weight models that can be self-hosted. While the API provides managed access with pay-per-token pricing, you can also download and run models like Mistral 7B, Mixtral, and others on your own infrastructure, potentially reducing costs for high-volume workloads.
Start with Mistral Small for simple tasks and only upgrade to Large when the task demands it. Use shorter prompts and set appropriate max_tokens limits to control output costs. For high-volume workloads, consider self-hosting open-weight models or using batch API endpoints for discounted pricing.
Compare with GPT-4o, o3, and all OpenAI model costs.
Compare with Claude Opus 4, Sonnet 4, and all Anthropic models.

Mistral charges per token for API usage. Tokens are the basic units of text -- roughly 3/4 of a word. Pricing is split into input tokens (your prompts and context) and output tokens (the model's response). Output tokens are typically more expensive because they require more computation. Prices are quoted per million tokens.
