Plans	FreeOur pick Free Everyday summaries and questions while you browse.	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.	X Super $100/mo Running Bots most days.
		Enterprise See website Companies rolling it out across teams.
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.	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.
