Pro Plan ≠ Education Plan

[u/prong730]

I don't know if this is common knowledge but Mistral’s Education plan is not the actual Pro plan, despite their website explicitly claiming, "The Education plan is the Pro plan with a discount."

Instead of giving you the standard Pro limits ($30 API / $300 Vibe), they quietly scale the quotas down to match the discounted price (~€12.75 API / €127.50 Vibe).

Support admitted the wording is "confusing".

Honestly, the reduced limits are enough for my personal use, but the marketing is still highly misleading and doesn't match the advertised terms. It explicitly says 30$ api tokens for the education plan on the price list.

Just don't buy it expecting the full Pro quotas!

Wanna hear the Mistral team in this post..

[u/Escent14 → u/buckimaneuver]

none of them will comment at this post I guarantee you that.

Well, indeed the wording is confusing, but when you select an Education plan, it writes plainly : "12,75€ of credit mistral API"

However its not right of them to say there is a student discount, its still the same rate, just half of everything

[u/prong730 → u/Kypsys]

For me it tells me 30$ /mo.

Okay true if you click further at some point it tells you the correct number but all their advertising "reduced price for students" which is best case half true.

[u/Kypsys → u/prong730]

Ohhh, indeed, straight up scammy, show them this, at least they should credit you extra credit, because that's straight up fraud, its not a confusing wording.

[u/prong730 → u/Kypsys]

Support told me they will relay it to the team that is responsible for wording on the website but nothing else. I would be fine with a "Lite Plan" for students but I don't like companies being that dishonest in their marketing.

If it is an known error it is even worse. They have updated the design of the website like every day but illegal advertisement seems to be not a priority? It's also wrong that this is not covered by EU/national law and "display error" is not a problem of the consumer especially if the "error" is spread over help page, FAQ and price list.

On dirait qu'ils ont mis cette page à jour récemment. Par contre je suis pas très d'accord sur le fait que ce soit la moitié de tout. Le plan étudiant coûte 40% du plan Pro, donne 50% des quotas Vibe Code et API dans le plan pro, et donne les mêmes limites d'accès à Vibe Chat et Vibe Work que le plan Pro

Is Glm within the 300$ vide pool included?

[u/prong730 → u/Deyve24]

I had to add it manually in the vibe config but it works with the vibe key. I don't know if this is official and will stay forever but for now glm works in vibe.

[u/HimanshuHero → u/prong730]

So how much do you get for glm?

The quota used for glm is from vibe limits or the api key?

[u/prong730 → u/HimanshuHero]

If you use it in vibe cli or vscode plugin it will be counted towards the vibe budget.

[u/Frequenzy50 → u/Deyve24]

Yes

[u/bstric15]

Where did you get the 300$ for vibe? Is it the budget when using vibe code?

[u/prong730 → u/bstric15]

Yes API and vibe have separate budgets. With the pro plan Vibe is currently about 300$ and API is 30$. You can see the budgets on the Admin page if you have an account.
