Mistral Vibe
Mistral's Vibe, which Mistral's help center says replaces the Le Chat name, is an AI assistant for research, coding and everyday tasks. A Free plan has limited messages; Pro costs $14.99 a month.
Description of Mistral Vibe
Mistral AI sells an assistant that its site now calls Vibe. Mistral's help center states that Le Chat is now Vibe, and the mobile app link on the homepage still carries the Le Chat name. The homepage describes Vibe as bringing AI into research, coding and everyday tasks. Mistral also sells Studio for building and governing agents, Forge for customizing models, open-weight models, inference and compute.
The assistant is available on the web and in iOS and Android apps. Mistral's pricing page lists three consumer and team levels. Free costs nothing and includes limited messages and web searches, limited coding sessions, basic image generation and editing, more than 100 connectors and up to five scheduled tasks, with limited library storage.
Pro costs $14.99 per month excluding taxes. According to the page it raises message limits up to 6 times and web searches up to 5 times compared with Free, speeds up responses, enables all-day coding in the command line, IDE or web, adds spreadsheet and slide creation, and includes 15 GB of library storage and $15 per month in API credits. Team costs $24.99 per user per month, with higher limits, 30 GB of storage per user, domain verification and data export. The Team card also shows an unexplained '$50 /mo' label, so confirm with Mistral before buying.
For privacy, the homepage says inference can stay in-region, and deployment can be on-premises, in your own cloud account or on Mistral's cloud. It links to a Trust Center and a data processing agreement but does not name certifications such as SOC 2 or ISO 27001 on that page, so check the Trust Center for audits if you need them. Free-plan limits are described in words rather than fixed counts.
