  • Subscription prices, included benefits, and model limits vary by country, account type, taxes, and promotions.
  • Enterprise Workspace pricing requires Google Sales or a reseller.
  • Rights in generated material remain subject to Google terms, third-party rights, and whether applicable law recognizes intellectual-property protection.

Google's official Gemini Apps Privacy Hub, updated August 10, 2026, says Gemini data may be used to maintain and improve services and the machine-learning technologies powering them; users can manage whether activity improves Google AI through Gemini Apps Activity, subject to stated exceptions. Workspace editions provide enterprise-grade security and privacy, with availability and limits varying by edition and region.

Mistral Le Chat

Le Chat is now Mistral Vibe. Free plan available; Pro is $14.99/month excluding taxes; Team is $24.99/user/month excluding taxes; Enterprise pricing is custom.

Open verification questions
  • No blanket commercial-use conclusion was made for consumer subscriptions because the consumer terms limit access to personal use and direct business integrations to separate commercial terms.
  • Taxes and final localized prices vary.

Official documentation confirms the rename to Vibe and three modes: Work, Code, and Chat. Free-plan conversations may be used to improve models with an opt-out; Pro, Team, and Enterprise conversations are not used for training by default. Connectors and uploaded library documents are not used for training. Consumer terms assign Mistral's rights in outputs to the user, but consumer access is expressly personal; business integrations and products distributed to third parties are directed to Mistral's commercial terms.
