X Subscription and Grok are now part of a combined subscription that brings together Grok AI, Cursor, and X Premium benefits under one account.
Depending on the plan, subscribers get access to Grok Chat, Voice, Imagine, coding tools, and different levels of AI usage.
Higher tiers add Grok Bot, access to the latest models, larger usage allowances, and additional X benefits.
Here’s what each plan includes, how the shared usage limit works, and which tier makes sense for different users.

What Is The X Subscription?
The X Subscription is a combined plan that brings three products together:
- Grok: xAI’s AI assistant for chat, research, voice conversations, image and video generation, and other AI tasks.
- Cursor: An AI-powered coding environment with coding agents and development tools.
- X: The social platform, with additional Premium benefits depending on the subscription tier.
Introduced in October 2026, the subscription gives users one account workspace and consolidated billing for eligible Grok and Cursor accounts.
Users can also connect a personal X account to receive the benefits associated with their plan.
This means you no longer have to think of Grok, Cursor, and X Premium as entirely separate subscriptions when choosing one of the new combined plans.
What Does Each X Subscription Plan Include?
The X Subscription has five main tiers: Free, Plus, Premium, Super, and Ultra. They differ in price, included AI usage, Grok features, and X benefits.
X Subscription plans and pricing
The following table shows the published US list prices. Taxes, regional pricing, and payment fees may affect the amount charged in other countries.
| Plan | Monthly price | Included AI usage | Main benefits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | Limited | Daily Grok access, starter Cursor allowance, standard X |
| Plus | $8 | Base | Grok Chat, Voice, Imagine, Build, Cursor, X creator tools |
| Premium | $30 | 4x Plus | Latest Grok models, Grok Bot, more AI usage, X Premium+ benefits |
| Super | $100 | 15x Plus | Higher usage, priority access, advanced AI capabilities |
| Ultra | $200 | 50x Plus | Largest included usage pool and benefits of lower tiers |

| Plan | Annual price |
|---|---|
| Plus | $80 |
| Premium | $300 |
| Super | $1,000 |
| Ultra | $2,000 |
These are published list prices, not guaranteed local checkout prices. Check the official X Subscription pricing page before purchasing.
What Grok Features Are Included in Each Plan?
Grok is available across the subscription tiers, but the amount of usage and access to specific features differ.
1. Free plan
The Free plan provides a limited way to try Grok and the wider subscription ecosystem without paying.
It includes:
- Limited Grok Chat access
- Limited AI requests
- Daily access to selected Grok capabilities
- Starter usage for Cursor coding agents
- Standard X access
The free tier is useful for occasional questions, basic AI assistance, and exploring the platform. It is not designed for people who regularly use AI for demanding tasks or need higher usage limits.
2. Plus plan – $8 per month
Plus is the entry-level paid plan. It increases the included AI usage and adds access to more Grok and Cursor capabilities.
Grok features include:
- Grok Chat
- Grok Voice
- Grok Imagine
- Grok Build
- Grok API access
X benefits include:
- Premium checkmark
- Fewer timeline ads
- Enhanced creator tools
- Advanced analytics
The Plus plan does not include Grok Bot. If you specifically want AI teammates that can carry out tasks, you need Premium or a higher tier.
Plus is a reasonable starting point for users who want more than free Grok access and also use X and Cursor.
3. Premium plan – $30 per month
Premium is a substantial upgrade because it adds Grok Bot and access to the latest Grok models, alongside a larger shared usage allowance.
Grok and AI features include:
- Latest Grok models
- Grok Bot access
- Faster Grok Chat responses
- AI image and video generation
- Cloud agents and automations
- Code hosting and AI code reviews
X benefits include:
- Full X Premium+ benefits
- Ad-free scrolling on most surfaces
- Preferred @handle
- Higher reply prioritisation
Premium includes four times the Plus plan’s included usage. It is intended for people who use Grok more frequently, want access to Grok Bot, or need the additional Cursor and X features.
4. Super plan – $100 per month
Super is designed for users who need considerably more AI usage than the entry-level paid plans provide.
It includes everything in Premium, along with:
- 15 times the Plus plan’s included usage
- Significantly higher allowances across Chat, Imagine, Voice, and Build
- 1080p video creation
- Faster responses
- Priority access during peak times
The larger usage pool is the main reason to consider this tier.
It may suit people who regularly generate images and videos, work with Grok for extended sessions, or use Cursor coding agents extensively.
5. Ultra plan – $200 per month
Ultra is the highest individual tier in The X Subscription.
It includes everything in Super, with an included usage allowance equivalent to 50 times the Plus plan.
This makes it the most suitable option for heavy users who need the largest available included AI allowance across Grok and Cursor.
The official plan comparison should be checked for the latest Ultra-specific benefits and usage terms, as these can change.
How Does the Shared Grok Usage Limit Work?
One important detail about the X Subscription is that Grok and Cursor share an included weekly AI usage pool.
This means your allowance is not divided into completely separate monthly limits for each product. Instead, usage across eligible features draws from the same pool.
For example, suppose you use Grok Chat heavily during the week and then spend several hours working with Cursor coding agents. Both activities draw from your available allowance.
The same principle applies to eligible Grok features such as:
- Chat
- Imagine
- Voice
- Grok Bot
- Cursor coding agents
Higher subscription tiers provide larger pools. According to the published plan comparison, Premium includes four times the Plus allowance, Super includes 15 times, and Ultra includes 50 times.
When does the usage allowance reset?
The included allowance refreshes weekly, rather than being a single monthly allocation.
This means heavy usage on one day does not automatically consume the entire month’s allowance.
You can check your remaining usage through your subscription dashboard.
Can you purchase more usage?
Yes. If you exhaust the included allowance, you can use additional top-ups where available or wait for the weekly refresh.
Keep in mind that third-party models used inside Cursor, such as Claude or GPT models, are not included in the subscription’s shared Grok and Cursor model allowance.
Their usage is billed separately at the applicable API list prices through prepaid credits.
Does The X Subscription Include Grok Bot?
Yes, but not on every paid plan.
Grok Bot is included with Premium, Super, and Ultra. The Plus plan does not include it.
Grok Bot is different from ordinary Grok Chat. Rather than only responding to questions, it is designed to act as an AI teammate that can handle tasks through its agent capabilities.
| Plan | Grok Bot included? |
|---|---|
| Free | No |
| Plus | No |
| Premium | Yes |
| Super | Yes |
| Ultra | Yes |
Grok Bot usage also draws from the shared weekly allowance. It does not provide a separate additional usage pool on top of your plan.
If Grok Bot is the main reason you want to subscribe, Premium is the entry-level tier to consider.
Does The X Subscription Include X Premium Benefits?
Yes. Paid X Subscription plans provide X benefits when you connect an eligible personal X account.
The benefits depend on your selected tier.
| Subscription plan | X benefits |
|---|---|
| Free | Standard X |
| Plus | Checkmark, creator tools, fewer ads |
| Premium | Full X Premium+ benefits |
| Super | Full X Premium+ benefits |
| Ultra | Full X Premium+ benefits |
The Premium, Super, and Ultra tiers include the higher-level X benefits associated with Premium+, while Plus provides a smaller selection.
One important point: you must connect a personal X account to receive the relevant benefits. Organization-managed X accounts, including affiliate accounts, cannot be connected under the standard personal-account process.
X Subscription vs SuperGrok: What’s the Difference?
SuperGrok was a standalone subscription for accessing higher Grok usage and features. The X Subscription is a broader bundle that combines Grok, Cursor, and X benefits.
| Feature | SuperGrok | The X Subscription |
|---|---|---|
| Main purpose | Grok access and higher usage | Grok, Cursor, and X in one subscription |
| Grok Chat | Yes | Yes, with plan-based limits |
| Voice and Imagine | Available according to plan | Available according to plan |
| Cursor | Available through eligible account arrangements | Included in the combined subscription |
| X Premium benefits | Not the central benefit | Included on eligible paid tiers |
| Shared Grok and Cursor pool | Depends on legacy arrangement | Yes, across eligible usage |
| Plan structure | Standalone Grok tiers | Free, Plus, Premium, Super, Ultra |
The important distinction is that the new subscription is not simply another name for SuperGrok. It combines several services and introduces a shared usage system.
Existing SuperGrok subscribers do not automatically have to switch. Their current plan, price, and features continue unless they choose to move to The X Subscription.
Should Existing X Premium and SuperGrok Users Switch?
Switching can make sense if you already pay for multiple services and want to manage them under one subscription.
For example:
- If you pay separately for Grok and Cursor, the combined plan may simplify billing and usage management.
- If you use X Premium+ and Grok regularly, Premium may offer a more integrated option.
- If you only use Grok occasionally, the Free plan may be sufficient.
- If you rely heavily on Grok and Cursor, Super or Ultra may provide a larger usage allowance.
However, do not switch simply because the new subscription bundles several products.
Before changing plans, check:
- Your current subscription prices and renewal dates.
- The Grok and Cursor usage you actually need.
- Whether your existing features are included in the new tier.
- Whether third-party model usage will create additional costs.
- The consequences of combining your existing accounts.
Important: The official documentation states that switching eligible accounts into The X Subscription is permanent and cannot be undone by customer support. Review the account-unification terms before confirming the change.
How to Subscribe to The X Subscription?
New customers can subscribe through the official pricing page. Existing users can check their account settings for the option to switch.
Follow these steps:
- Visit x.ai/pricing.
- Compare the Free, Plus, Premium, Super, and Ultra plans.
- Select the subscription that matches your expected usage.
- Sign in or create the required account.
- Complete the subscription process.
- Connect your personal X account if you want the associated X benefits.
- Manage your usage, billing, and top-ups through the subscription dashboard.
Existing SuperGrok, Cursor, and X Premium subscribers should check their billing settings for switching eligibility and account-specific offers.
Who Should Choose Each X Subscription Plan?
The right plan depends on how often you use Grok, whether you need Cursor, and how much you value X Premium features.
| User type | Plan to consider | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Occasional AI users | Free | Provides limited access without a subscription fee |
| Regular Grok users | Plus | More AI usage and additional X benefits |
| Heavy Grok users | Premium | Latest models, Grok Bot, and a larger allowance |
| Frequent AI creators and developers | Super | Higher usage and additional video capabilities |
| Very heavy AI users | Ultra | Largest included usage pool |
For most people, Premium is the tier to examine first if Grok Bot and access to the latest models are important. Users who mainly want basic Grok assistance may not need to pay for it.
Final Thoughts
The X Subscription brings Grok, Cursor, and X Premium benefits into a single subscription structure.
Its main advantage is the shared AI usage pool, which allows eligible Grok and Cursor usage to draw from one weekly allowance.
For occasional users, Free or Plus may be enough. Premium is the entry point for Grok Bot and the latest Grok models, while Super and Ultra are aimed at people who need substantially more AI usage.
Before subscribing, compare the included features and usage limits rather than choosing a tier based only on its name or price. The best plan is the one that matches how you actually use Grok, Cursor, and X.
