| Plans | FreeOur pick Free Everyday summaries and questions while you browse. | Free Free Trying a task or two on desktop. | X PremiumOur pick $30/mo Trying Grok Bot alongside everyday Grok use. |
Leo Premium $14.99/mo, or $149.99/yr Daily users who want better answers and fewer limits. | PlusOur pick $20/mo Handing off a few jobs a week. | X Super $100/mo Running Bots most days. | |
Pro From $100/mo Anyone running agent tasks every day. | Enterprise See website Companies rolling it out across teams. | ||
Business See website Teams that want shared admin and no training on their data. | |||
| Which plan to pick | Start free. If you hit the daily limits or the answers feel thin, Premium at $14.99 a month gets you Claude-level quality inside a private browser. If you already pay for ChatGPT or Claude, you may not need Premium at all, since those work in any browser. | Try it on Plus with a couple of real jobs. If you hand it work most days you'll run out of credits, and that's when Pro or extra credits make sense. | Start on Premium at $30 a month, which already includes Grok Bot, and only move up if you hit the usage limits. If your team already pays for Cursor's top plans, check whether Grok Bot is included before paying for anything else. Plans changed on 12 October, so check x.ai before you buy. |
