Mistral Vibe, the assistant formerly called Le Chat, is the European alternative for people who want a different lab and a lower bill. The free plan gives web and mobile access with limited messages, web searches and coding sessions, basic image generation and editing, and more than 100 connectors. Pro costs $14.99 per month excluding taxes and raises messages and searches, speeds up responses, adds spreadsheet and slide creation, better image generation and all-day coding in the terminal, IDE or browser. Libraries accept PDFs, images, CSV, text and Office files, with up to 15 GB of storage on Pro, and task scheduling is unlimited within fair use. Mistral's pricing table lists model training as opt-out on Free, Pro and Team, which is a clear statement for privacy-minded users. The limits are described as multiples of the free tier rather than numbers, and prices exclude taxes, so the real monthly cost depends on where you live.
