Le Chat by Mistral in the company: what the tariffs offer

Le Chat is AI assistant Mistral AI's, comparable to ChatGPT. For businesses, there's the Team plan for $24.99 per user per month, as well as Enterprise with SAML single sign-on, audit logs, and private deployments (according to Mistral's pricing page, as of October 2026). Le Chat is suitable for teams that want a ready-made European service instead of their own solution.

Many companies are looking for an alternative to ChatGPT that is not from the US. Le Chat is the obvious option. This post shows what the plans include and when a self-hosted solution is a better fit.

The tariffs at a glance

The prices are on the price page in US dollars; billing in euros may vary. Before concluding the contract, check whether your data is used for training and how you can switch it off – the price page mentions an opt-out option here.

Why choose Le Chat

• European provider with data processing by default in the EU
• Immediately usable, no own server
• Web search, document analysis and image functions in one interface
• Enterprise features such as SSO and audit logs for larger organizations

What can speak against it

• Cost per user: For many employees, the team rate adds up.
• Model choice: You use the Mistral models, not just any other.
• Connection to your own systems is limited in the team plan; deep integration requires enterprise or in-house development.
• Data leaves the company – albeit to the EU.

Le chat or your own AI chat?

For small teams that want to get started quickly, Le Chat is a solid choice. From a medium number of users or if company knowledge is to be deeply integrated, it often pays off to have your own solution – see How much does your own ChatGPT cost?.

No matter how: Set rules

Whether it's Le Chat or your own solution – it's crucial that employees have a permitted path and know what data they are allowed to enter. Otherwise, they will use private accounts. The article Shadow AI in the company shows how you can get a grip on this.

We advise vendor-neutral whether a ready-made service or your own chat with Open WebUI and Mistral models is a better fit.
