Mistral's chat assistant is now called Mistral Vibe (formerly Le Chat), and it's sold as an AI agent for long-horizon work: research, documents, decks and moving work between systems. As of October 2026 there are four plans, Free, Pro, Team and Enterprise, and the paid ones lift your message, search and image limits by set multipliers.
The catch: you're searching for a name that's been retired
Plenty of people still type the old name into Google, and the page they land on now says Vibe. Same company, same assistant, new name and a wider job. If you've been looking for the old app in a store or a menu and can't find it, look for Vibe instead.
The rename comes with a change in pitch. Mistral now describes Vibe as an agent for long-horizon work rather than a chat window. It groups what Vibe does into three areas:
- Understanding: briefings, data analysis and deep research.
- Creating: documents, decks and briefs.
- Executing: moving work between systems and bulk processing.
Prices need a word of warning too. The pricing page has a currency selector showing euros and US dollars, so what you see depends on where you are. The figures below are the US dollar prices as shown, excluding taxes, and they'll vary by region.
Vibe plans as of October 2026
| Plan | Price | What's included |
|---|---|---|
| Free | Free | Web and mobile access, limited messages and web searches, limited coding sessions, basic image generation and editing, 100+ connectors |
| Pro | $14.99 a month, excluding taxes | More messages and web searches, faster responses, all-day coding in the CLI, IDE or on web, spreadsheets and slides, better image generation and editing, API credits, chat and email support |
| Team | $24.99 per user a month, excluding taxes | Even higher limits, even faster responses, up to 30GB storage per user, domain name verification, data export |
| Enterprise | Contact Mistral | Custom models, agents and workflows, audit logs, SAML SSO, white label |
Pro is subject to fair usage limits, so more messages doesn't mean unlimited ones. There's also an Education plan for verified students at accredited higher education institutions. It lasts a maximum of 12 months, and only if you haven't used Vibe or Le Chat before, so a student who signed up for the free version last year won't qualify.
Enterprise has no listed price. You contact Mistral, and in return you get the controls a larger company asks for: audit logs, SAML SSO for single sign-on, custom models, agents and workflows, and white label so the assistant can carry your own branding.
How much more the paid plans give you
Mistral's pricing table shows how far each paid tier stretches past Free. These are the multipliers as of October 2026.
- Messages: up to 6x the Free allowance.
- Web searches: up to 5x.
- Image generation: up to 40x.
- Task scheduling: up to 5 scheduled tasks on the lower paid tier, unlimited on the higher one.
- Project folders: up to 1,000.
- Libraries: limited on Free, up to 15GB and up to 30GB per user on the higher tiers.
The image figure is the eye-catcher. If you make a lot of images, the jump from Free to paid is far bigger than for messages. If you mostly chat and search, the gap is smaller, and Free may be enough.
Where you can use Vibe
Vibe isn't one app. Mistral lists four ways in, as of October 2026.
- Vibe on the web, in your browser.
- Vibe CLI, a coding agent that runs in your terminal, powered by Mistral's Devstral model.
- Vibe for IDE, a plugin for VS Code and JetBrains.
- The mobile app on iOS and Android.
The CLI and IDE options are where the Pro plan's all-day coding comes in. Free only gives you limited coding sessions, so if you write code most days, that's the line that'll push you to pay. The mobile app is on the Free plan too, which makes it an easy way to try Vibe on your phone before you spend anything.
The coding and connector features
For developers, the pricing page lists a set of features you won't find in most chat assistants.
Want AI doing the heavy lifting in your marketing?
I build the systems that handle the boring 80 percent, so you get your week back. Done properly, with the human kept in.
- Connectors to tools such as Notion, Slack, Linear and Drive.
- Hooks, which run shell commands before and after each agent turn.
- Remote coding agents that work in isolated sandboxes.
- Teleport, which hands a session from your machine to a remote agent and back again.
- Remote agent observability, so you can see what those remote agents are doing.
Teleport is the clever one. You can start a job on your laptop, pass it to a remote agent, then pull it back when you're ready to carry on.
Who should pick which plan
Free suits anyone who wants to try Vibe or uses it a few times a week. Pro suits a solo business owner or developer who'd hit the Free limits on messages, searches or coding. Team suits a group that needs shared storage, data export and its own verified domain. Enterprise is for organisations that need audit logs, SAML SSO or custom models.

My verdict on Mistral Vibe
I'd use Vibe if you want a capable assistant with strong coding tools and you'd use the CLI or IDE plugin as well as the chat. I'd go Pro if you code most days or make lots of images, because that's where the multipliers count. I'd skip paying if you only chat and search now and then; Free covers that. Don't let the rename confuse you: if you liked Le Chat, Vibe is the same assistant with more jobs on its list.
