Grok Bot pricing: why there is no standalone plan
By 3Gen editorial team. Checked on xAI’s and Cursor’s own pages.
Short answer: you cannot buy Grok Bot on its own. It comes with a paid plan on The X Subscription, starting with Premium at $30 a month, and with some older Cursor and SuperGrok plans. On The X Subscription, the cheapest way in is Premium.
If you want an always-on agent that is not tied to Cursor or X, OpenAssistant is our recommendation: it has its own email address and phone number, and Starter is free.
What Grok Bot is
Grok Bot is xAI’s agent product. xAI’s docs describe “AI teammates with names, jobs, and context that compounds over time,” each working on “a persistent cloud computer with a browser, filesystem, and terminal.” You message a Bot, give it a task and access to your tools, and it works across apps and websites, asking for approval before things like sending drafts. It runs on macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS and Android (docs.x.ai).
Why there is no standalone price
On October 12, 2026, xAI launched The X Subscription, one plan covering Grok, Grok Bot, Cursor and X Premium (xAI announcement). Cursor’s help page puts it plainly: on The X Subscription, “Grok Bot is one more product on your plan rather than a separate grant” (Cursor help). Grok Bot also draws from the same weekly usage pool as the Grok apps and Cursor, so there is no separate Grok Bot meter to price.
Which plans include Grok Bot
The X Subscription (for new customers)
From x.ai/pricing:
| Plan | Price | Grok Bot | Usage pool |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | Not included | Limited |
| Plus | $8 a month | Not included | Basic |
| Premium | $30 a month | Included | 4x Plus |
| Super | $100 a month | Included | 15x Plus |
| Ultra | $200 a month | Included | 50x Plus |
| Teams | From $30 per user a month | Included on Premium, Super and Ultra seats | 4x to 50x Plus, per seat |
| Enterprise | Custom | Included, with access, network and audit controls for Grok Bot | Pooled across the team |
xAI’s announcement says Premium includes “the benefits of SuperGrok, Cursor Pro, and X Premium+, previously $90/month combined.”
Older plans that still include it
Per Cursor’s help page, Grok Bot is also included for people on:
- Legacy Cursor Pro, Pro+ and Ultra, and legacy Cursor Teams (every member)
- An individual SuperGrok, SuperGrok Plus, SuperGrok Heavy or X Premium+ subscription, linked to a Cursor account
- A seat on a self-serve Grok Business plan
On legacy Cursor Enterprise or Grok Enterprise, Cursor says to ask your account team whether Grok Bot can be enabled.
It is not included on SuperGrok Lite, or on Plus or Free on The X Subscription.
xAI says existing SuperGrok, Cursor and X Premium subscribers can keep their current plans or switch to The X Subscription. xAI’s and Cursor’s pages do not show current prices for the legacy plans, so we do not list them.
How usage and extra charges work
On The X Subscription:
- One weekly pool shared by Grok Chat, Imagine, Voice, Bot and Cursor. It refreshes weekly.
- When the pool runs out, extra Grok Bot use is paid from prepaid credit. You can turn on auto top-up and set a monthly limit for additional usage.
- Third-party models in Cursor are billed separately at API list prices.
On legacy Cursor plans and linked accounts:
- Grok Bot gets a weekly allowance. After that, it can continue on on-demand usage, billed through Cursor, up to the on-demand monthly limit you set.
- A Cursor plan and a linked SuperGrok account do not stack. Grok Bot uses whichever grants more weekly usage. Cursor says Pro, SuperGrok and X Premium+ are the same tier; Pro+ and SuperGrok Plus are the same tier; Ultra and SuperGrok Heavy are the same tier.
- A SuperGrok or X Premium+ link is permanent once created and cannot be moved to another Cursor account.
Free trial: the Grok Bot trial is a usage credit, used up by agent steps and tokens, with a 7-day window. A single long task can use most of it.
What it costs: three scenarios
Scenario 1: one person who wants Grok Bot. Premium: $30 × 12 = $360 a year.
Scenario 2: one heavy user running several Bots daily. Super: $100 × 12 = $1,200 a year, with 15x the Plus pool instead of Premium’s 4x.
Scenario 3: a 5-person team. Premium seats on Teams: 5 × $30 × 12 = $1,800 a year. Teams adds SSO, admin controls, consolidated billing, usage analytics and SOC 2 compliance, per xAI’s announcement.
Assumption: usage stays inside the weekly pool; top-ups and third-party models are extra. The pricing page shows monthly prices only.
Is Grok Bot worth $30 if you only want the agent?
You pay for the bundle either way: Grok chat, Cursor and X Premium features come with it. If you only want an always-on agent and already pay for Cursor or SuperGrok, check whether your current plan already includes Grok Bot before switching. If you don’t use Cursor or X, compare the $30 with other agents’ entry prices on our pricing tracker. OpenAssistant Pro, for example, is $60 per user a month billed yearly.
