I appreciate I can set a monthly spending limit for the pay-as-you-go API, but I'm just not willing to find out how far €100 will go, when I know it will go further elsewhere.
I just wish they had that €100 subscription tier, for the equivalent of €1k pay-as-you-go use.

TIL that Mistral provides hosted GLM-5.3 and that it has a subscription model as well.

If you were to use a gateway like GoModel[1] then you could use Virtual Models[2] to load balance across the subscriptions. For that to work, though, you would have to register the same provider as many times as subscriptions you have. It can all be defined in code, so you'd only have to do this once.

EDIT: formatting
Haven't tried it myself, but on Discord they've recently discussed this: Sign up for a team plan with multiple seats, only use one seat, usage limits are shared. Not against TOS.
Essentially you are right, I could stack subscriptions via a Team plan, but for a premium.
Recently I switched to the Mistral hosted GLM-5.3, this worked very well and powered through a tonne of work. Unfortunately, I also completely maxed out two subscriptions within the space of six days this month. One can't stack subscriptions with Mistral, so I'd have to register a third account for another subscription, which will be annoying with changing API keys all the time. Sure I can switch to pay-as-you-go API, but that adds up really fast. The Mistral dashboard shows that a Vibe CLI monthly subscription for €18.44 actually provides €255 worth of API use (apparently, and I tried to check this with Support but it seems like they were intentionally vague).
After maxing out my Mistral subs this morning, I dropped $10 on Xiaomi to try MiMo-2.6. So far so good, seem to have done a lot of work for the $2.85 I've spent, and Xiaomi prices are still much better than the Mistral introductory offer for Le Chonk.
Not sure where to jump.
Edit: Not being able to stack subs is my biggest gripe with Mistral. I'd probably pay them $100 per month (5 subs worth), but I'm not going to switch to the pay-as-you-go API and burn much more money for the same amount of tokens. Instead, I've taken that extra money elsewhere. If they just allowed one to keep topping up subscriptions on the same account it'd be grand. Or even a bigger single subscription. Make a $100 tier with five times the capacity.
