Last updated: October 21, 2026. Prices verified against xAI’s published documentation and cross-checked with independent trackers. xAI has repriced Grok several times this year, so confirm on xAI’s plans page before you buy.
Key Takeaways
- Grok Bot is not sold on its own. Since October 12, 2026, it is included in The X Subscription’s Premium (30/month),Super(100/month), and Ultra ($200/month) plans. The $8 Plus plan does not include it.
- New customers start on The X Subscription. It replaced the standalone SuperGrok tiers and the old X Premium/Premium+ bundles for new sign-ups. Existing SuperGrok and X Premium subscribers can keep their plans at current prices.
- Usage is a shared weekly pool, not a fixed message count. Grok, Grok Bot, and Cursor all draw from the same allowance. xAI publishes tiers only as multiples of Plus (4x, 15x, 50x) and does not state Plus’s absolute limit.
- Annual billing lowers the effective price: $80/year for Plus, $300 for Premium, $1,000 for Super, and $2,000 for Ultra.
- API usage is billed separately per token. Grok 4.3 is $1.25 input / $2.50 output per million tokens; Grok 4.7 is $2 / $6.
- Consumer AI agents cluster around $20/month. ChatGPT Plus, Claude Pro, and Google AI Pro all sit near $20, so Grok Bot’s $30 entry point is a premium unless you also want Cursor or X Premium+ perks.
- For company-wide work, a personal agent plan is the wrong shape. Teams that need agents grounded in internal data, with permissions enforced, should look at an enterprise agent platform such as GoSearch.
What Is Grok Bot?
Grok Bot is xAI’s agent product. It’s an assistant that carries out multi-step tasks on a user’s behalf rather than only answering questions in a chat window. It sits alongside Grok chat, voice, Imagine (image and video generation), and Build (coding) inside xAI’s product family.
What changed in October 2026 is how you pay for it?
xAI folded Grok, Grok Bot, Cursor’s coding agents, and X Premium perks into a single bundle called The X Subscription. Grok Bot usage now draws from the same weekly shared pool as Grok and Cursor, so what you pay determines how much agent work you can run each week.
Grok Bot Pricing: Every Plan at a Glance
US list prices as of October 2026, before sales tax:
| Plan | Monthly | Annual | Usage vs. Plus | Includes Grok Bot? |
| Free | $0 | n/a | Limited daily access | No |
| Plus | $8 | $80 | 1x (base pool) | No |
| Premium | $30 | $300 | 4x | Yes |
| Super | $100 | $1,000 | 15x, plus priority access at peak times | Yes |
| Ultra | $200 | $2,000 | 50x, plus earliest access to new products and models | Yes |
| Teams | $30, $100, or $200 per seat | n/a | Premium, Super, or Ultra seats | Yes |
| Enterprise | Custom | n/a | Custom rate limits | Custom |
Plus is not offered on team plans. Some third-party coverage reports different usage multiples for Ultra; xAI’s own pricing lists 50x.
Which plan includes Grok Bot?
xAI’s documentation is explicit: Grok Bot is included on Premium, Super, and Ultra. Plus does not include it. Premium is the entry point, and Super and Ultra mainly buy larger weekly allowances.
What does the Premium plan include?
At $30 per month, xAI’s “most popular” plan includes 4x the Plus usage, Grok Bot, the latest Grok models, faster chat responses, image and video creation, and Cursor’s cloud agents. On the X side you get the full X Premium+ benefits, including ad-free scrolling on most surfaces. xAI describes it as combining the benefits of SuperGrok, Cursor Pro, and X Premium+, which it says previously cost $90 per month combined.
What happened to SuperGrok and X Premium?
Before October 12, 2026, Grok was sold through overlapping routes: standalone SuperGrok plans (Lite at $10, SuperGrok at $30, and Heavy at $300 per month) and the X Premium and Premium+ bundles (about $8 and $40). New customers now start on The X Subscription instead. If you already pay for SuperGrok or X Premium, xAI says your plan continues at its current price unless you switch or cancel.
Two cautions if you are considering a switch:
- Switching is permanent. Your old subscription is canceled with a prorated refund, and xAI support cannot undo the change.
- App store purchases follow store rules. For subscriptions bought through Apple or Google Play, the store decides refunds, and you should confirm the old subscription is no longer set to renew.
Are there free trials or discounts?
The old SuperGrok plan often came with a seven-day trial. xAI’s US pricing page for The X Subscription lists no trial. Some regions have shown 50% off the first month on Premium, Super, and Ultra. These promotions vary by region and account, so read the checkout screen before you confirm.
Can I still get Grok Bot through Cursor or SuperGrok?
Yes, if you already subscribe. Grok Bot launched on August 11, 2026, and before The X Subscription it was reachable through several routes. xAI says it has been included since August 26 with SuperGrok, SuperGrok Plus, SuperGrok Heavy, and Cursor Pro, among others.
| Route | Monthly price | Status |
| X Subscription Premium | $30 | Where new customers start |
| Cursor Pro | $20 | Existing plans continue; price as reported by third-party guides |
| Cursor Pro+ | $60 | Same as above |
| Cursor Ultra | $200 | Same as above |
| SuperGrok plans | Legacy pricing | Existing subscribers only |
The meter differs by route. Under the older Cursor route, Grok Bot is billed to your Cursor account with its own weekly pool, and any Cursor cloud agents it launches count against Cursor usage. If you move to The X Subscription, xAI says your Grok Bot allowance comes from the new shared weekly pool instead. Cursor’s Legacy Privacy Mode does not work with Grok Bot, because the product stores data in the cloud. Confirm Cursor’s current prices on its own pricing page before you buy.
Grok API Pricing (Separate From Subscriptions)
If you are building on Grok rather than using the apps, you pay per token. xAI’s pricing lists API access within the subscription pool but does not specify how much traffic a plan includes, so budget production workloads at the per-token rates below.
| Model | Input (per 1M tokens) | Output (per 1M tokens) | Context |
| Grok 4.7 | $2.00 | $6.00 | 500K |
| Grok 4.3 | $1.25 | $2.50 | 1M |
| Grok Build 0.1 | $1.00 | $2.00 | 256K |
These rates apply to prompts under 200K tokens. Above 200K, xAI’s rates roughly double. Batch processing takes 20% off, but only on Grok 4.3 and the Grok 4.20 models. Built-in tools are billed separately: web search is $5 per 1,000 calls, for example.
What Users Say About Grok Bot
Usage limits and metering are the most common complaint; the product’s capability draws the praise. Grok Bot is still labeled early beta, and most of this feedback comes from Cursor’s community forum and independent hands-on reviews, written before the October 12 plan change.
- Weekly allowances run out fast. A longtime Cursor user who upgraded to Ultra at $200 per month reported most of the week’s Grok Bot allowance gone on day one, and 99% used in three days. Support said the Bot’s coordination work draws from its own pool. Another user in that thread upgraded to the $300 SuperGrok Heavy plan and still used 70% of the Bot quota in 2.5 days.
- Others report the same pattern. A third-party review cites an early tester who used nearly the whole weekly allocation in under two days of heavy use. It labels these unverified user reports.
- Billing was confusing at launch. Forum users reported Grok Bot usage folded into their Cursor usage percentages. Staff attributed this to a dashboard that wasn’t filtering by product. One tracker also reports no Grok Bot-specific spend cap; xAI has not confirmed that.
- Privacy is a trade-off. One guide frames Grok Bot as trading data sovereignty for convenience, since the agent runs on a cloud computer.
- People like what it does. A reviewer who paid and ran it for a week built a small analytics team and a news scraper in the first week. Cursor power users say they want to build a daily workflow around it.
- Launch pricing rumors were wrong. The same reviewer says that, at launch, Reddit threads claimed Grok Bot required $120 per seat or a $200-$300 plan, while xAI listed access at $30. We could not verify those threads.
Before you commit, use a trial or a single month and watch the usage meter for a week. If you use the Cursor route, set an on-demand spend limit before handing the Bot long jobs.
Brok Bot Alternatives
The right alternative depends on what you need the agent to do. Here are the main options, with prices checked in October 2026.
| Alternative | Best for | Starting price |
| ChatGPT (OpenAI) | All-around assistant with the Codex coding agent | Plus $20/month; Go $8/month |
| Claude (Anthropic) | Writing, long documents, and coding with Claude Code and Cowork | Pro $20/month; Max from $100/month |
| Google AI Pro (Gemini) | Teams living in Gmail, Docs, and Google storage | $19.99/month |
| GoSearch | Agents and workflows grounded in your company’s own data | Free, Pro, and Enterprise plans |
ChatGPT
ChatGPT Plus is $20 per month and adds reasoning models, expanded image generation, limited deep research, and the Codex coding agent. OpenAI also sells a Go plan at $8 and Pro plans at roughly $100 to $200 depending on usage tier.
Claude
Claude Pro is $20 per month, and Max plans start at $100.Claude Pro and Max bundle Claude Code, Anthropic’s terminal-based coding agent, at no extra charge, and Claude Cowork provides a desktop agent that works with local files.
Google AI Pro (Gemini)
Google AI Pro is $19.99 per month and is the natural fit if your work already runs through Gmail and Docs. Google AI Plus is $4.99, and Ultra runs from $99.99 to $199.99.
GoSearch
The three options above are strong personal assistants. They are built around one user and what that user pastes, uploads, or connects. They are not built around your company’s knowledge. That is the gap GoSearch fills (more below).
Why Teams Look Beyond a Personal Agent Plan
A consumer or prosumer agent subscription works well when the task lives in one person’s head or browser. It strains when the task depends on company knowledge spread across dozens of systems. Teams evaluating Grok Bot or any similar agent should ask:
- Where does the agent get its context? Pasted text is not the same as live access to Confluence, Google Drive, Slack, Jira, and your CRM.
- Does it respect permissions? An agent that can retrieve a document the employee isn’t allowed to see is a security incident waiting to happen.
- Can it act, not just answer? Creating tickets, updating docs, and triggering workflows across tools is where agents earn their cost.
- How predictable is the bill? A shared weekly usage pool that you cannot measure in absolute terms is hard to budget across a department.
- Is it tied to one model vendor? Model quality changes quickly. Locking your workflows to a single vendor’s models creates switching costs later.
GoSearch: An Agent Platform Built on Your Company’s Knowledge
GoSearch is an AI enterprise search knowledge layer that powers custom agents and no-code workflows. Where Grok Bot is a personal agent drawing from a personal usage pool, GoSearch gives every employee search, AI chat, and agents grounded in company context.

Grok Bot FAQs
The X Subscription is xAI’s unified plan, launched October 12, 2026, that bundles Grok, Grok Bot, Cursor, and X Premium perks under one bill and one shared weekly usage pool. It has Free, Plus, Premium, Super, and Ultra tiers.
Grok Bot is included in The X Subscription’s Premium plan at 30permonth(300 per year), as well as Super at $100 per month and Ultra at $200 per month. There is no standalone Grok Bot price.
No. The $8 Plus plan does not include Grok Bot. You need Premium or higher.
No. The Free plan gives limited daily access to Grok Chat, Imagine, Voice, and Build, but Grok Bot requires a paid plan starting at Premium.
No. Grok Bot is xAI’s always-on agent product, launched August 11, 2026. Its agents run on a cloud computer, sign into your apps, and keep working after you close the app. The @grok account on X is the chatbot that replies to posts.
Not for new customers. xAI’s documentation says new customers start on The X Subscription. Existing SuperGrok subscribers can keep their plans at the current price unless they switch or cancel.
All three include Grok Bot. Premium offers 4x the Plus usage, Super offers 15x the Plus usage plus priority access at peak times, and Ultra offers 50x the Plus usage plus the earliest access to new products and models.
xAI publishes usage only as multiples of Plus and has not published an absolute count of messages or tasks. The allowance refreshes weekly and is shared across Grok, Grok Bot, and Cursor, so the best test is to use a plan for a week and watch your remaining usage.
xAI’s pricing page says you can cancel anytime, and you keep your benefits through the end of the billing period. If you subscribed through the Apple App Store or Google Play, cancel in that store’s subscription settings.
xAI lists Grok API access in the subscription pool but does not say how much traffic a plan covers. For production workloads, budget at per-token API rates: $1.25 / $2.50 per million input/output tokens for Grok 4.3 and $2 / $6 for Grok 4.7.
No, at the plan level. Grok Bot starts at $30 per month, while ChatGPT Plus and Claude Pro are each $20. Grok’s $8 Plus plan is cheaper but does not include Grok Bot. On the API, Grok 4.3 is cheaper per token than many premium models from OpenAI and Anthropic.
It depends on the job. For individual productivity, ChatGPT, Claude, and Google AI Pro are the closest consumer alternatives. For agents that work from company knowledge with permissions enforced, an enterprise agent platform such as GoSearch is built for that purpose.
Yes. xAI offers Premium, Super, and Ultra seats for teams at the same per-seat prices as individual plans, with SSO and centralized billing. Enterprise pricing is custom and adds SSO/SCIM, custom rate limits, and data residency
Final Thoughts
Grok Bot pricing is simpler than it was a month ago, but not necessarily cheaper: you now buy it as part of a bundle that starts at $30 per month. If you want Grok, Cursor, and X perks in one plan, Premium is the logical starting point. If you want an agent that works from your company’s knowledge, with your permissions and your choice of model, evaluate GoSearch.
Prices change often. Always confirm current rates on xAI’s plans page before you subscribe.
