Mistral OCR API Pricing 2026

Per-page rates, batch discount, markdown output — and a UI-first alternative if you do not want to build the application layer.

TL;DR

  • Mistral OCR API is among the cheapest hosted markdown OCR APIs in 2026: $1 per 1,000 pages standard, $0.50 per 1,000 batch.
  • Output is markdown with tables, images, and confidence scores — directly comparable to LensCopy on output format.
  • The difference is the application layer. Mistral OCR is pure API — no UI, no users, no history. LensCopy is a hosted product with all of that built in for $14.99/month at 2,500 pages.
