| Which plan to pick | 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 Pro to see which jobs it handles well for you. If you hand it real work most days you will hit the limits, and Max is the plan that makes it a daily tool. | 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. |
