Our take on Mistral Vibe (Le Chat)

Mistral Vibe (Le Chat): Mistral's European AI chat and agent, formerly Le Chat. Best for people who want a capable ChatGPT alternative from a European company, with a cheaper Pro plan. Watch out for: free limits are not published (just 'limited messages and web searches'); renamed from Le Chat in 2026, so older guides use the old name. Price: $14.99/mo (Pro); students $5.99/mo (free tier, checked Oct 2026).

Note: Le Chat became Vibe in 2026; accounts, chats and plans carried over, and chat.mistral.ai still works. One product covers chat, web search, deep research, documents and images (Vibe for work) plus a coding agent in the terminal and IDE (Vibe for code). Pro raises limits and adds all-day coding; verified students pay $5.99/mo. Team is $24.99/mo with admin controls.
