How we price

Order

Providers are listed cheapest input rate first, then by output rate, a tie going to the creator's own listing. A provider that lists the model without a published rate sits at the end.

Prices

Base-tier, on-demand rates in USD per 1M tokens, converted at ECB reference rates where a provider publishes in another currency. Cached-input and batch rates show only where a provider publishes them. "Cheapest" marks the one provider with the lowest input and output pair; a tie wears no badge.

Cost

Input rate times the input tokens plus output rate times the output tokens, at the monthly volume set above the table. Cached-input, batch, long-context and reasoning-token billing are not modelled.

Transparency and funding

Affiliates: Affiliate links are marked. We may earn a commission if you click them, but commissions never affect the order.

Heads up: Base-tier, on-demand rates per 1M tokens; cached, batch and long-context tiers excluded. A provider may serve a shorter context or a quantized build than the creator's release. Verify before provisioning. More on how we price.

Common questions

What is Codestral good for?

High-frequency code completion, fill-in-the-middle and code generation across more than 80 programming languages. It sits in the middle of Mistral's price range.

When is Codestral not a good fit?

Image input: it is text only. Closed weights, so no self-hosting, and its maximum output caps very long single responses.

What is the cheapest way to run Codestral?

The cheapest hosted rate is $0.30 / $0.90 per 1M tokens via Mistral.

Can I self-host Codestral?

No. Mistral does not publish the weights; Codestral is available only through hosted APIs.
