Grok is sold as one subscription across xAI's products and X. Every paid plan includes Grok Chat, Voice, Imagine and Build, the Grok API and Cursor access, drawing on a shared usage pool, plus X benefits such as a checkmark and fewer timeline ads. Premium raises usage to four times Plus and adds the latest Grok models, faster responses, image and video creation, cloud agents and automations, code hosting and AI code reviews, along with ad-free scrolling on most of X. Super and Ultra scale to 15 and 50 times Plus usage, with 1080p video and priority access. The value case depends on whether you want X Premium as well; if you do not, you pay for perks you will not use. Our fetch of the plans page showed only local currency and introductory discounts, so we have not verified a USD price, and the page does not describe a free plan.
