Grok pricing starts at $0 with Grok Free. The paid plans Plus, Premium, Super and Ultra cost $8, $30, $100 and $200 a month, excluding VAT.
Grok is the AI assistant from SpaceXSI (formerly xAI) that searches the web and posts on X in real time. The article on what Grok is covers who makes Grok and how the assistant works.
Since 12 October 2026, SpaceXSI has bundled Grok, Cursor and X Premium into The X Subscription. New customers start on that subscription, and SuperGrok now continues only for existing subscribers.
For users in the EU, currency matters. SpaceXSI shows The X Subscription in dollars and excluding VAT. In the Netherlands, for example, euro prices appear only for X Premium in the X Help Center and for purchases in the Dutch App Store.
Grok pricing: how much does each plan cost?
Grok costs $0 (Free), $8 (Plus), $30 (Premium), $100 (Super) or $200 (Ultra) a month, as listed on SpaceXSI’s pricing page on 16 October 2026.
The table below sets out Grok pricing for each plan in The X Subscription. It shows the monthly price, the annual price and the usage, with Plus as the benchmark for usage.
| Plan | Per month | Per year | Usage | Main addition |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | $0 | Limited | Limited chat and agent requests |
| Plus | $8 | $80 | Base allowance | Grok Chat, Voice, Imagine, Build and Cursor |
| Premium | $30 | $300 | 4x Plus | Grok Bot and the latest Grok models |
| Super | $100 | $1,000 | 15x Plus | Priority access to models at peak times |
| Ultra | $200 | $2,000 | 50x Plus | The largest weekly allowance |
| Teams | $30, $100 or $200 per seat | Not stated | Same as the chosen tier | Central billing and management |
| Enterprise | On request | On request | Custom | Arranged through sales |
According to SpaceXSI’s documentation, these amounts exclude tax, which is added at checkout where applicable. SuperGrok and X Premium are not in the table. They are the older subscriptions, and each has its own section further down.
Is Grok free to use?
Yes, you can use Grok for free with Grok Free, the $0 plan with limited chat and agent requests. SpaceXSI does not publish a fixed number of messages for Grok Free. Its pricing page describes the limits only as “limited”.
You can use Grok for free on grok.com, in the iOS and Android app, and through X. The guide to using Grok explains how to use it for questions about current events, with sources from the web and X.
Grok Bot (SpaceXSI’s AI agents that carry out tasks) is not included in Grok Free and starts at Premium. At $8 a month, Plus is the cheapest step up from Grok Free. Grok Free is one example within the wider question of whether AI is free, which each provider answers differently.
What is The X Subscription?
The X Subscription is a single SpaceXSI subscription for Grok, Cursor and X benefits, announced on 12 October 2026. The paid plans share one usage allowance for Grok and Cursor, the code editor with AI agents. According to SpaceXSI, that allowance refills every week.
If you use up your weekly allowance, SpaceXSI says you can buy extra usage. According to the X Help Center, new customers start on The X Subscription, including people who only have a free X account. The paid tiers differ mainly in the size of the allowance, expressed as a multiple of Plus.
How much does Plus cost in The X Subscription?
Plus in The X Subscription costs $8 a month or $80 a year, excluding VAT. It gives you access to Grok Chat, Voice, Imagine and Build, the Grok API and Cursor, with the base usage allowance.
On X, you also get the Premium checkmark and fewer ads in your timeline. Grok Bot is not included in Plus.
How much does Premium cost in The X Subscription?
Premium in The X Subscription costs $30 a month or $300 a year, excluding VAT. It is separate from X Premium, the older subscription for X itself, whose euro prices are listed further down.
Compared with Plus, Premium gives you four times the usage, Grok Bot, the latest Grok models, image and video generation, and faster chat responses. On the linked X account, you get the X Premium+ benefits. According to SpaceXSI, the benefits of SuperGrok, Cursor Pro and X Premium+ cost a combined $90 a month when bought separately.
How much do the higher Grok plans cost?
The higher Grok plans, Super and Ultra, cost $100 and $200 a month. They differ from Premium mainly in usage volume.
What do you get with Super?
With Super, you get fifteen times the usage of Plus and priority access to models at peak times, for $100 a month or $1,000 a year. Super suits you if you consistently use up Premium’s weekly allowance.
What do you get with Ultra?
With Ultra, you get fifty times the usage of Plus, for $200 a month or $2,000 a year. The pricing page lists no extra features for Ultra beyond those of Super. The difference is in the allowance.
What happens to SuperGrok?
SuperGrok continues for existing subscribers, who, according to SpaceXSI, keep their plan until they change or cancel it themselves. New customers start on The X Subscription. SpaceXSI says Premium in The X Subscription includes the SuperGrok benefits.
According to SpaceXSI, switching to The X Subscription is permanent. You get a pro rata refund for the unused period of your old subscription.
On 16 October 2026, the Dutch App Store still listed the SuperGrok purchases in euros: SuperGrok Lite €10, SuperGrok €35, SuperGrok Plus €100 and SuperGrok Heavy €349.
How much does X Premium cost in euros?
According to the X Help Center, X Premium in the Netherlands costs €3 (Basic), €8 (Premium) or €38 (Premium+) a month on the web, or €32, €84 or €377 a year.
X Premium is the subscription for X itself. Premium gives higher limits in Grok, and Premium+ includes access to SuperGrok and Grok Bot. According to the X Help Center, X Premium is now part of The X Subscription, and every paid tier includes X Premium benefits on the linked X account.
The X Help Center contradicts itself on new subscriptions. The X Premium page says new subscriptions are available worldwide, while the page on The X Subscription says new customers start on that subscription.
Why do you pay more than the dollar price in the EU?
In the EU, including the Netherlands, you pay more than the dollar price of Grok because SpaceXSI shows The X Subscription prices excluding VAT and adds the tax at checkout.
Besides VAT, the payment channel affects the final price. The Dutch App Store, for example, shows Grok purchases in euros, including extra usage credit: Extra Usage Credits 20 USD is listed at €22. On 16 October 2026, SpaceXSI did not publish an official euro price for Plus, Premium, Super or Ultra. You only see the real final price at checkout.
How much does Grok cost for teams?
Grok pricing for teams is the same per seat as the individual plan: $30 for Premium, $100 for Super and $200 for Ultra a month. Plus is not available as a team plan.
A team plan includes central billing and management, usage analytics and the option to mix seat tiers, for example three Premium seats and one Super seat. Each seat gets the same usage as the matching individual plan. Enterprise is handled through sales, with custom pricing and limits.
How do I cancel my Grok subscription?
To cancel a Grok web subscription, go to the dashboard on grok.com. For an in-app purchase, cancel through the App Store or Google Play. According to SpaceXSI, you should cancel at least 24 hours before renewal to avoid another charge.
Cancelling is not the same as switching to The X Subscription. That switch is permanent, and if you have a Cursor subscription from the App Store, you need to cancel it yourself in the settings of your iPhone or iPad.
Which Grok models do you get with each plan?
Which Grok models you get depends on your plan. According to SpaceXSI’s pricing page, the latest Grok models come with Premium and above. The page names no models for Grok Free and Plus. Your plan determines access, while SpaceXSI’s releases determine which Grok models exist and how they differ.
Is the Grok API included in a subscription?
No, Grok API usage is not included in the subscription, because SpaceXSI bills API usage separately at standard per-model rates. Plus and above do give you access to the Grok API, but that usage does not come out of your weekly allowance.
Is Grok more expensive than ChatGPT?
No, Grok is not necessarily more expensive than ChatGPT. The answer varies by tier, and the two providers present their prices differently. SpaceXSI lists dollar prices excluding VAT. The amounts in the overview of ChatGPT pricing are in euros, so a fair comparison needs the final price of both in your own country. Bear in mind that Grok’s Premium plan also bundles Cursor and X Premium+ benefits.
Which Grok plan should you choose?
The right Grok plan depends on how much you use Grok and whether you also need Cursor or X Premium.
Which plan suits a freelancer?
As a freelancer, Grok Free or Plus suits you if Grok supplements another AI assistant and you mainly use it for questions about current events, with sources from the web and X.
Which plan suits a marketing agency?
A marketing agency is best served by a team plan on Premium if several staff members create images and video with Grok and the agency wants central billing.
Which plan suits a developer?
As a developer, Premium or higher suits you if Cursor is central to your daily work, because Grok and Cursor share one weekly allowance. According to SpaceXSI, models from other providers in Cursor fall outside that allowance and are charged at API prices from the first use.
What should you arrange before using Grok with client data?
Before you use Grok with client data, record the legal basis on which you process that data and make arrangements with the processor. Without a legal basis and arrangements with the processor, client personal data does not belong in a personal account. No subscription arranges that for you, whether it is Grok Free or Ultra.
A team plan adds management and central billing, but which data staff enter into Grok remains a matter for agreement within your organisation. LearnLLM’s AI Literacy Course takes a vendor-neutral look at which data you can enter into an AI tool, covering the GDPR and duties of confidentiality, and ends with a certificate. That way, your plan only determines how much you do with Grok each month, not which data may go into it.
