	Business See website Teams that want shared admin and no training on their data.
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 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.

Pros and cons

Attribute	ChatGPT Work	Grok Bot
Pros	Handles multi-step work across email, calendar and files, not just chat Runs in the cloud, so scheduled tasks don't need your computer on No separate subscription if you already pay for ChatGPT Asks before consequential actions, and you can redirect it mid-task Hands back finished documents, decks and spreadsheets	Keeps working when your laptop is closed Works in tools that have no API or connector Teach a routine once and rerun it No extra cost if you already pay for Grok Premium Several Bots can split up and hand off work
Cons	Long tasks burn through credits quickly, especially on Plus Long or complex jobs still go wrong and need checking Reads a lot of your email, calendar and chat, which some teams won't accept Only one Gmail account at a time for now	Beta, with no independent testing of how reliably it finishes jobs Security details are thin, and all your Bots share one computer Only available bundled into Grok or Cursor plans No Android app yet Which model powers it isn't published
