Pricing Issues Reported by Users
Unused credits vanish at month end
Monthly subscription costs are high and unused credits disappear at the end of the month. Users report paying for features they never get to use. Benefits expire if usage drops, resulting in paying without getting returns - a complaint shared by many users.
Open-source reputation masks proprietary reality
Despite open-source branding, Mistral's most powerful models like Mistral Large remain proprietary. The Microsoft partnership drew criticism that Mistral abandoned open-source ethos. Accusations of 'open-washing' to build ecosystem while monetizing closed products.
