How much does Grok cost on each plan?
Each Grok plan, from $0 on Free to $200 on Ultra, is a tier of The X Subscription, which xAI launched on 12 October 2026, so the same bill also carries Cursor and X perks. We read each row from xAI's pricing docs, the grok.com plans page and Cursor's pricing page on 8 November 2026. US list prices, before tax:
| Plan, read 8 November 2026 | Monthly | First month on grok.com | Yearly | Included usage | What it adds |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | $0 | $0 | Limited | Limited Grok chat and images, limited Grok Build, standard X |
| Plus | $8 | $8 | $80 ($7 a month) | Base | Grok Chat, Voice, Imagine and Build, Grok API access, Cursor with Grok models only, X checkmark |
| Premium | $30 | $15 | $300 ($25 a month) | 4x Plus | Newest Grok models, Grok Bot, video, cloud agents, other models in Cursor at API list price, X Premium+ perks |
| Super | $100 | $50 | $1,000 ($84 a month) | 15x Plus | 1080p video, priority access at peak times |
| Ultra | $200 | $100 | $2,000 ($167 a month) | 50x Plus | Most powerful chat models, earliest access to new models |
Plus is the cheapest paid plan, and it's all that most people who only chat with Grok will need. Premium is the first plan that has video, the newest models and Grok Bot. xAI's docs say "Grok Bot is included on Premium, Super, and Ultra." Every paid plan draws on one weekly pool, and Grok and Cursor both take from it. When it runs dry, you can buy top-up credit or wait for it to reset.
The half-price month is an offer on grok.com, and it's for the first month only. On Premium it reads "50% off for 1 month, then $30 monthly." Teams pay the same price per seat on Premium, Super and Ultra. Plus isn't sold to teams.
Is Grok cheaper now than SuperGrok was?
Grok is cheaper now at the bottom and the top, and the same in the middle. Plus costs $8 where SuperGrok Lite cost $10, Premium and Super kept the $30 and $100 of SuperGrok and SuperGrok Plus, and Ultra costs $200 where SuperGrok Heavy cost $300. The old monthly prices are from grok.com's SuperGrok checkout, read on 12 October 2026, and the Grok app's US App Store page still listed them on 8 November:
The top step is the big one. Paid by the month, Ultra costs $1,200 a year less than SuperGrok Heavy. The middle steps changed what you get rather than what you pay: Premium at $30 adds Cursor and X Premium+ perks that the $30 SuperGrok plan didn't carry.
Treat the chart as price points, not a feature match, because the old and new tiers don't line up one to one. xAI hasn't published either ladder's weekly pool in tokens or messages, so there's no fixed way to compare usage across the switch. Cursor is sold through the same subscription, and Cursor pricing works out what a share of usage costs on each tier.
What does a typical month of Grok cost?
A typical month costs $8 if you chat and make images, and $30 if you want video, Grok Bot or Cursor's full menu. We priced three cases from xAI's list prices on 8 November 2026:
| Who | Plan | Monthly bill | First year, paid monthly | First year, paid yearly |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chat and images, no video | Plus | $8 | $96 | $80 |
| Video, Grok Bot and Cursor with Grok | Premium | $30 | $345 | $300 |
| Cursor user who also runs Claude in Cursor | Premium plus top-ups | $50 | $585 | $540 |
If you pay for Premium by the month, you pay $15 for the first month and then $30 for each of the next 11, which comes to $345. The yearly plan is $300, so it's $45 cheaper in the first year and $60 cheaper in every year after that. Pay yearly once you're sure.
The third row adds models from other labs. xAI's docs say Cursor bills them "at API list prices from the first use," from prepaid credit. Say you send 5 million input tokens and 1 million output tokens a month to Claude Sonnet 5.5. At Anthropic's $2 in and $10 out per million, that's 5 × $2 plus 1 × $10, or $20 on top of the $30.
Top-ups never start on their own. That's on purpose. The top-up docs say Auto Top-up "only runs after you turn it on and save it." A monthly cap can stop extra spending even when credit's left.
What happened to SuperGrok?
SuperGrok still runs for people who already pay for it, but new buyers get The X Subscription instead. xAI's docs say "New self-serve customers choose from The X Subscription plans" and "Existing Cursor, SuperGrok, and X Premium plans continue unless you change or cancel them." So a SuperGrok price you read elsewhere, $30 a month or $300 a year for SuperGrok and $300 a month for Heavy, is now the price existing subscribers keep paying.
Premium at $30 replaces three bills. xAI's launch post says it carries "The benefits of SuperGrok, Cursor Pro, and X Premium+, previously $90/month combined." If you paid for all three, that's $60 a month less, or $720 over a year.
If you switch, xAI cancels the old plans for you and refunds the time you haven't used. It's one way. xAI's overview says "The switch is permanent." SuperGrok price by country has the old plan's local prices, read on launch day, and is SuperGrok worth it weighs the old $30 plan for people who still hold it.
What does Grok cost next to the rest of your AI stack?
Grok Premium, ChatGPT Plus and Claude Pro together cost $70 a month, and Google AI Pro takes the total to $89.99. We read each vendor's US price on 8 November 2026, from OpenAI, Anthropic and Google:
| Subscription, read 8 November 2026 | Monthly | What only it gives you |
|---|---|---|
| Grok Premium | $30, or $25 a month yearly | Grok Bot, Grok video, Cursor, X Premium+ perks |
| ChatGPT Plus | $20 | GPT-6 reasoning models, Codex |
| Claude Pro | $20, or $17 a month yearly | Claude Code, Claude in Chrome |
| Google AI Pro | $19.99 | Gemini at 4x Free usage |
| All four | $89.99 |
Whizi, which publishes this page, covers the chat part of that stack. Whizi Pro costs $29.99 a month for 2,500 credits. It puts Claude, GPT and Gemini in one chat with Grok 4.6 and Grok 4.7, which cost 6 credits a message, and it makes 100 pictures a month. That's less than ChatGPT Plus and Claude Pro cost together.
Whizi doesn't replace the other half of what Grok Premium does. It has no Cursor, no coding agent, no Grok Bot and no X perks, and its video, past one free 5-second clip, is on Powerhouse only. If you code in Cursor, keep Grok Premium for the editor work. If Grok chat is all you want, Plus at $8 beats every Whizi plan.
Is the Grok API included in a Grok plan?
Partly. On grok.com, "Grok API" is one of the benefits listed for Plus, but xAI's docs don't say how much of the API the shared pool will cover. You can't count on it. The developer API is also sold on its own, and it's billed by the token from credit that you prepay in the xAI console.
Grok 4.7, xAI's flagship, costs $2 per million input tokens and $6 per million output tokens on the API price list, as of November 2026. Grok API pricing prices every model, tool and fee, with worked monthly bills.
- Start on Plus at $8 and move up only if the weekly pool runs out most weeks
- Pay yearly once you know the tier: it costs ten months of the monthly price
- Take the half-price first month on grok.com before you commit to a year
- Switch from SuperGrok, Cursor Pro or X Premium+ at checkout to get the unused time refunded, knowing the switch is permanent
- Set a monthly cap before you turn on Auto Top-up for Claude or GPT in Cursor
- If you pay for ChatGPT Plus and Claude Pro just to chat, price Whizi Pro against the $40
