Common questions
Is this the same as the old "Le Chat Student" plan?
Yes. Mistral renamed Le Chat to Mistral Vibe, and the student offer is now called the Education plan — officially described as "the Pro plan with a discount for eligible students and teachers." Existing conversations, settings, and plans carried over in the rename.
Who is eligible for the Education plan?
Students and teachers who can verify an institutional email address issued by their educational institution. You can subscribe with a new account created with that email, or change the email on an existing Mistral account first.
How much does the Education plan cost?
Mistral does not publish the exact Education price. Current coverage reports roughly 50% off the Pro plan (€14.99/month as reported), which works out to about €7.50/month — check the student page for the exact price in your region.
What happens when I graduate or my student status ends?
The discount is tied to your institutional email. After graduation you can switch to a personal email and continue with the free tier or the regular Pro plan. Your data and projects remain intact.
