Mistral Education Plan
Mistral Pro for students at $5.99/month with $165 of model usage each month
What you get from Mistral Education Plan for free
Overview
Mistral AI's Education plan is Mistral Pro at a student price: $5.99/month instead of $14.99, with smaller limits. Each month it includes $165 of model usage, about $27 of usage for every $1 you pay.
What You Get Each Month
- $150 Vibe Code usage: Vibe CLI, the VS Code extension and Vibe on the web
- $15 Studio API usage: any model through a Studio API key
- Vibe Work: chat, web search and image generation on web and mobile
The $150 Vibe allowance is not listed on the pricing page; it appears on your Subscription page after you subscribe. We tested it: both the $150 and the $15 showed up, and GLM and DeepSeek models ran on both keys.
What $165 Buys
One budget, any model:
- All on GLM 5.3: $165+ of usage. Cached tokens cost $0.14/M on Mistral vs $0.26/M at Z.ai.
- All on GLM 5.3 Flash: $165, the same price as Z.ai.
- All on DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017: about $75–135 at DeepSeek's own prices, because Mistral always bills the standard rate and never DeepSeek's off-peak rate.
How to Get Started
- Sign up at Mistral with your student email.
- On mistral.ai/pricing, click I'm a student and check out with a card.
- Copy your Vibe key (the $150) from chat.mistral.ai/code/extensions → Advanced.
- Create a Studio key (the $15) at console.mistral.ai/api-keys.
- Use both keys in Vibe CLI or OpenCode and add the models to the config to spend the full $165. The Vibe key works in OpenCode, but may be less token-efficient than Vibe CLI.
