Mistral Vibe (Le Chat) Pro for Students: $5.99/Month (60% Off)
Verified students get Mistral Pro for $5.99 a month instead of $14.99 — about 60% off — for up to 12 months. The deal covers the full Pro plan of Mistral Vibe (formerly Le Chat): the AI assistant plus the coding agent, with higher message and search limits, all-day coding, and $25.50 a month in API credits. You verify with an institutional email address; Gmail and other personal addresses do not qualify, and the offer is only for people who have not used Vibe or Le Chat before.

What this offer actually gives you
Mistral Vibe — the app formerly called Le Chat — is Mistral AI's personal AI agent for everyday work and code: chat, web search, deep research, documents, spreadsheets and slides, image generation and editing, 100+ connectors, and a coding agent that works in the CLI, your IDE, or on the web. The free plan covers the basics with limited messages, web searches, and coding sessions; Pro removes the ceilings with up to 6x more messages, up to 5x more web searches, up to 40x more image generations, faster responses, and all-day coding.
The student deal is Mistral's own Education pricing, printed on its official pricing page: verified students can get Mistral Pro for $5.99 a month (normally $14.99). The pricing card adds the two conditions that matter: it is valid for a maximum of 12 months, for verified students at accredited higher-education institutions, and only if you have not used Vibe (or Le Chat) before. The Pro card on the same page carries an "I'm a student" toggle that routes you into the student checkout. Over the full year the discount saves about $108 against the standard Pro price.
What the $5.99 actually buys is the whole Pro plan, not a cut-down student tier: full access to Vibe for all-day coding and long-running tasks, more messages and web searches, faster responses, spreadsheets and slides generation, better image generation and editing, and $25.50 a month in API credits for Mistral Studio. That makes it one of the cheapest routes to a frontier European AI assistant with a real coding agent — cheaper per month than ChatGPT Plus at $20 or Claude Pro at $20, though those have their own student offers worth comparing first if you qualify.
Two eligibility details to get right before you sign up. First, Mistral's help centre says the Education plan runs on an institutional email address issued by your educational institution — personal addresses such as Gmail, iCloud, or Outlook are not eligible, and a student ID or enrollment certificate is not accepted in place of that address. Second, the offer is new-user only: if you have already used Vibe or Le Chat, the student price does not apply. There is no published end date for the program itself, so it is a standing offer, but the 12-month clock starts when you claim it.

Pro tip
