Vibe is the new name for Le Chat, Mistral's assistant, and the iPhone app now leans toward agent-style work. Mistral describes runs that catch you up across email, chat, calendar and internal knowledge, deep research across the web and connected tools with sourced analysis, spreadsheet analysis, and drafting of reports and updates. The free tier is pitched at quick answers and everyday tasks, and Pro at complex work and deeper reasoning. Pro costs $14.99 per month or $149.99 per year in the app, which undercuts the $19.99 to $20.00 tiers from OpenAI, Google, Anthropic and Perplexity. The listing is thinner than its rivals: it does not describe a voice mode or image tools, and the app has only 1.4K US ratings. Pick it if you want a European vendor or a cheaper Pro tier for text work.
Who it is for
Users who want a European assistant at a lower monthly price than the big US apps.
