Five tiers and one shared pool: How Grok's new pricing ladder is built

If you want to use Grok, the Cursor coding tool and X with fewer ads, you now have to choose between five tiers. According to the outlet eGamers, SpaceXSI (formerly SpaceXAI) introduced the bundled subscription The X Subscription on October 12, 2026. It combines Grok, Grok Bot, Cursor and X Premium. The details about the subscription come from secondary sources and not from the company's own announcement.

From free to 200 dollars

According to AI-Toolbox, the tiers cost the following per month:

- Free: 0 dollars - Plus: 8 dollars - Premium: 30 dollars - Super: 100 dollars - Ultra: 200 dollars

Paying for a full year costs 80 dollars for Plus, 300 dollars for Premium, 1,000 dollars for Super and 2,000 dollars for Ultra. That equals ten months of the monthly price.

According to eGamers, Plus includes Grok Chat, Voice, Imagine and Build, API access to Grok, Cursor, a verified badge and fewer, but not removed, ads on X. Premium adds Grok Bot, the latest Grok models, image and video generation, faster responses, Cursor's cloud agents, ad-free use of X and the ability to reserve a username.

Super has the same features as Premium, but with priority access to Grok when many people are using the service at the same time. Ultra provides access to all products and the earliest access to new features.

One pool to draw from

According to AI-Toolbox, all tiers share a single weekly usage pool across Grok and Cursor. API usage, meaning when other programs connect directly to Grok, is billed separately and does not draw on the pool.

How large the pool is depends on the tier. According to AI-Toolbox, Premium offers roughly 4 times Plus, Super roughly 15 times and Ultra roughly 50 times. eGamers, by contrast, writes that Ultra offers 20 times Plus, so the figure for Ultra is uncertain.

What about the old plans?

For new customers, The X Subscription replaces SuperGrok, X Premium and Cursor's own plans. Existing subscribers to SuperGrok Lite (10 dollars), SuperGrok (30 dollars), SuperGrok Plus (100 dollars) and SuperGrok Heavy (300 dollars) can keep them. If you switch away from an older plan, the change is permanent, and you receive a prorated refund.

The usage pool is not new in itself. According to CloudZero, paid plans have drawn on a shared weekly pool since June 2026 instead of limits per two hours.

For those building with Grok

On the API side, xAI's documentation states that Grok 4.7 and 4.6 cost 2 dollars per million input tokens and 6 dollars per million output tokens for prompts under 200,000 tokens. Tokens are the small chunks of text that a language model reads and writes. Above that limit, the price is 4 and 12 dollars. Grok 4.3 and the Grok 4.20 variants cost 1.25 and 2.50 dollars, and Grok Build 0.1 costs 1 and 2 dollars.

The free version of Grok has limited access, and according to CloudZero, xAI adjusts the limits on an ongoing basis without publishing the details.
