Grok Bot now comes in a $30 plan with Grok, Cursor and X. Here's how to pick your tier

What's trending: SpaceX Super Intelligence (SpaceXSI) introduced The X Subscription on October 12, one plan that "brings together Grok, Grok Bot, Cursor, and X Premium." There are five tiers: Free, Plus at $8 a month, Premium at $30, Super at $100 and Ultra at $200. Grok Bot comes with Premium and up. Plus doesn't include it. The company says Premium carries the benefits of SuperGrok, Cursor Pro and X Premium+, "previously $90/month combined." Three bills just became one, like a cable bundle where you actually watch every channel.

How it works: every paid tier gets a pool of usage shared across Grok and Cursor, and it refreshes every week. Grok Bot draws from that same pool, not a separate one. Premium gets 4x the Plus pool, Super 15x and Ultra 50x. Run out and you can buy top-ups or wait for the weekly refresh. Third-party models in Cursor, like Claude or GPT, aren't in the pool. They're billed at API list prices from the first use. Team plans cost the same per seat ($30, $100 or $200), and you can mix seats, for example three Premium seats and one Super.

The play: for a small business, this is mostly a cheaper and simpler way to put Grok Bot on the team. If you pay separately for X Premium on your brand account, a Grok plan for yourself and Cursor for whoever builds your site, one plan may now cover all three. And because coding, chat and bot work all eat from the same plate, you budget one number instead of three. Think of it as one gas card for the whole fleet.

How to run it: First, write down what you pay today: X Premium, SuperGrok, Cursor, and where you pay for each (website, Apple or Google Play). Second, pick a tier by how hard your bots work. The pricing page recommends Premium for new AI users, Super for daily agent users and Ultra for power users. Skip Plus if you want Grok Bot. Third, before you switch, check how much you actually use on your Cursor dashboard (cursor.com/dashboard), so you know a weekly pool will fit. After you switch, usage lives on grok.com/dashboard under Usage. Fourth, switch from your billing settings when the option shows up, since it's rolling out gradually. The old plans you combine are cancelled with a prorated refund for unused time. Fifth, if more than one person runs bots, look at a team plan and give the bigger seat to whoever keeps the bots busiest. Sixth, set a spending cap on top-ups so one busy week doesn't turn into a surprise bill.

Watch out for: the switch is one-way. The help docs say "It can't be undone, and Support can't undo it for you." You don't have to move today, and your current plan keeps going if you don't. If you pay for Cursor through Apple's App Store, switching won't cancel it, so cancel it in your iPhone or iPad settings or Apple keeps billing you. If you bought through Google Play, check afterward that the old plan isn't set to renew. And if your developer leans on Claude or GPT inside Cursor, that usage now costs extra at API prices, so the "cheaper" plan could end up costing more. Do the math before you click.
