Official sources checked 2026-08-25Open verification questions
- Enterprise prices are not published and require a sales quote.
- Pricing or entitlements for Grok accessed through an X subscription were not treated as equivalent to standalone SuperGrok plans.
- The consumer terms require attribution under xAI's Brand Guidelines when using Output or xAI brand elements; applicability to a specific commercial use requires case-specific review.
xAI's consumer terms, effective June 26, 2026, state that users retain ownership rights in User Content to the extent permitted by law. Logged-in users can choose whether User Content is used for product improvement and model training; logged-out use may grant broader training rights where permitted. The standalone Grok service and Grok accessed through X are governed by different privacy policies.
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.

- 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.
