Mistral Vibe (formerly Le Chat) review

Mistral's assistant, now branded Vibe after starting life as Le Chat, is the low-cost all-rounder in this list. The free plan covers chat on web and mobile with limited messages and web searches, basic image generation and editing, coding sessions and more than 100 connectors, including custom MCP connectors. Pro costs $14.99 per month, or $5.99 for verified students, and raises message limits to up to six times free and searches to up to five times free, adds up to 15 GB of document libraries and unlimited scheduled tasks. It also creates spreadsheets and slides, and the same subscription covers Vibe CLI and IDE plugins for VS Code and JetBrains. The limits: prices exclude tax, and Mistral offers fewer creative extras than Google or OpenAI.
