Elon Musk's AI company xAI wants Grok in the workplace. The company has launched two new subscription plans for businesses: Grok Business and Grok Enterprise. Sources disagree on the date: xAI gives December 30, 2025, while the outlet eWeek reports January 5, 2026.

Business for smaller teams

Grok Business costs $30 per user per month and is aimed at small and midsize teams. It is available through self-service sign-up. The plan includes team administration, consolidated billing and usage analytics, so a company can see how the tool is being used.

Grok can also be connected to Google Drive. According to eWeek, this provides answers with source citations and document previews. According to xAI, Grok respects the access rules that already exist: A file that has not been shared with a user in Drive cannot be seen by that user in Grok either.

Enterprise for large organizations

Grok Enterprise has custom pricing, and interested customers must contact xAI's sales team. It adds custom single sign-on (a single shared login system), directory sync (SCIM) and advanced audit and security features.

Enterprise Vault is available as an optional add-on to Enterprise. It includes a dedicated data plane, application-level encryption and customer-managed encryption keys. According to xAI, data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and the keys are controlled by the customer and isolated from other organizations. The price of the add-on has not been disclosed. According to eWeek, Vault is not available to free users or on Grok Business.

The security details are xAI's own claims. xAI's website mentions no independent certifications such as SOC 2 or ISO 27001.

A data pledge and the competition

xAI promises that customer data will not be used to train its models. The company writes: "Your data stays yours: no training on it, ever."

For comparison, ChatGPT Team and Claude Team both cost $25 per user, according to eWeek. According to unnamed analysts quoted by eWeek, Grok lacks deep integration with Slack and Microsoft 365.

The launch also coincided with criticism and regulatory attention over the public version of Grok having created sexualized deepfakes of real people without consent, including minors. That is the backdrop against which companies will have to weigh the offering.
