Qwen vs Mistral AI: Features, Pricing and User Reviews 2026

Qwen Studio, the chat assistant, is free to use for everyday chats, image help, and code help. For heavier use, Alibaba offers a Token Plan with paid tiers.

• Lite ($6/month): 2,500 credits every week plus 700 credits every 5 hours, good for running 1 to 2 agents at once.

• Standard ($18/month): 10,000 credits every week, four times the Lite credits, for running 3 to 4 agents at once.

• Pro ($68/month): 40,000 credits every week, sixteen times the Lite credits, for running 6 to 8 agents at once.

Yearly billing lowers the cost on every plan. Teams can also buy seats starting at $20 per seat a month, up to $200 per seat a month for the Max seat, each with its own monthly credit allowance.
