Grok Bot Pricing: Plans From $20, Usage Limits, and Free Trial

There's no standalone Grok Bot subscription. You get it through a plan you may already pay for. The cheapest ways in, as of September 26, 2026:

Cursor Pro, $20/month. The lowest-priced plan that includes Grok Bot.
SuperGrok, $30/month. You link your Grok account to a Cursor account to get the usage.
X Premium+, from $40/month. Also linked. X's own pricing varies by country.
Cursor Teams, $40 per seat per month. Every member on a self-serve Teams plan gets access. A Premium seat isn't required.

Every qualifying plan comes with weekly included usage. When that runs out, you can keep going on on-demand usage billed through Cursor, but only if you've turned on-demand on. Neither xAI nor Cursor publishes how much weekly usage any plan includes. They only rank the tiers against each other.

Grok Bot launched on August 11 behind $120 to $300 plans. Pages quoting $200 as the entry price describe the launch, not the current offer.

Every plan that includes Grok Bot

Cursor's Grok Bot plans page is the matrix both companies point to. xAI's own docs link to it as the "full matrix."

Plan	Price	Weekly Grok Bot usage (Cursor's wording)
Cursor Pro	$20/mo	"Weekly usage, below Pro+"
Cursor Pro+	$60/mo	"Generous weekly usage, below Ultra"
Cursor Ultra	$200/mo	"Highest weekly usage"
Cursor Teams Standard	$40/seat/mo	"Follows the Teams plan allowance"
Cursor Teams Premium	$120/seat/mo	"Follows the Teams plan allowance"
Cursor Enterprise	Custom	"Managed by your admin"
SuperGrok (linked)	$30/mo	"Linked usage, below Plus"
SuperGrok Plus (linked)	$100/mo	"Generous linked usage, below Heavy"
SuperGrok Heavy (linked)	$300/mo	"Highest linked usage"
X Premium+ (linked)	From $40/mo	"Linked usage, below SuperGrok Plus"

Cursor plans include Grok Bot, so you just sign in to Grok Bot with your Cursor account. On Enterprise, your admin turns it on. For the four linked plans, you pay xAI or X, then link that account to a Cursor account. Prices come from cursor.com/pricing, x.ai/bot, x.ai/pricing, and X's help center. X Premium+ uses local pricing, and Cursor also sells yearly billing.

The usage column is all anyone has published. There are no token counts, dollar values, or task counts behind those labels, and we won't make them up. A few comparisons also aren't documented:

Cursor tiers against SuperGrok tiers. Cursor never says whether Ultra and SuperGrok Heavy get the same weekly usage, or how Pro compares with SuperGrok.
X Premium+ against base SuperGrok. Both sit below SuperGrok Plus. Cursor doesn't say which of the two is larger.
Teams Standard against Premium. Cursor's team pricing says a Premium seat gets 5x the usage of a Standard seat for regular Cursor usage. For Grok Bot, Cursor only says a higher seat "can raise weekly usage." It gives no multiplier.

Plans that don't include Grok Bot

Cursor Hobby (free). Cursor's pricing page doesn't list Grok Bot on the free plan. A free Cursor account can claim the one-time trial credit, covered below.
Grok Free and SuperGrok Lite. Cursor says Lite users have to upgrade to SuperGrok, Plus, or Heavy and link again. xAI's plan comparison also shows no Grok Bot on Free or Lite.
SuperGrok Team, SuperGrok Business, and SuperGrok Enterprise. Only individual Grok subscriptions can be linked. xAI's plan comparison shows no Grok Bot on Business or Enterprise.
Legacy Cursor Teams setups. xAI's teams docs say Grok Bot stays off for teams on a legacy request-based plan or on Privacy Mode (Legacy).
Personal links on request-based Teams or Enterprise seats. These seats can't take a personal SuperGrok link. Cursor says those plans keep Grok Bot on the Cursor contract.

Linking SuperGrok or X Premium+

If you pay xAI or X instead of Cursor, you still need a Cursor account. The subscription grants Grok Bot usage to that account.

Official docs

How the link works, per Cursor's help pages

Where to link. On the Grok Bot Get Started screen, before you sign in, choose Link Grok Account or Link X Account. Once you're inside the app, Settings doesn't offer a link option. Quit and relaunch to get back to that screen. On mobile, link on desktop first, then sign in with the same Cursor account.
It's a usage grant, not a Cursor plan. Linking doesn't create, change, or cancel a Cursor subscription. If you had no Cursor plan, you still don't.
The link is permanent. You can't unlink it or move it to a different Cursor account. Check which Cursor account you're signed in with before you click. If it ends up on the wrong account, you have to go through Cursor support.
The grant lasts while the subscription does. Cursor re-checks your SuperGrok or X Premium+ status at each renewal.
Tier changes take up to 24 hours. If you upgrade or downgrade SuperGrok after linking, your weekly usage can take up to 24 hours to move to the new tier. You don't need to link again.
Billing stays separate. xAI or X bills the subscription, and refunds go through them. Usage is metered on your Cursor account, not on Grok or X.

X's help center lists Grok Bot among X Premium+ benefits. X also says Premium Business and Premium Organization accounts get Premium+ included. Cursor's help page only mentions X Premium+ subscriptions, so whether a Premium+ seat that comes from a business account can be linked is unknown.

Do Cursor and SuperGrok allowances stack?

No. Cursor's help page says this plainly, with examples:

On Pro+, linking SuperGrok Plus adds no Grok Bot usage.
With SuperGrok Heavy linked, buying Cursor Ultra adds no Grok Bot usage.
An X Premium+ link and a Cursor plan don't add to each other in either direction.

Only one grant applies. xAI's FAQ says that when you have both, Grok Bot "uses whichever has more usage." Cursor's pages don't state that rule, but they don't contradict it. Both subscriptions keep billing, so if you already have one qualifying plan, paying for a second one to get more Grok Bot usage wastes money.

To get more usage, you can move up within the same ladder, such as Cursor Pro+ to Ultra or SuperGrok to Heavy. Or you can turn on on-demand usage.

How weekly usage works

The Grok chatbot has its own rate limits on grok.com and in the Grok apps. Cursor's editor has its own included usage for Grok models. Neither is your Grok Bot limit. Search results for "grok bot usage limits" mix all three together.

Is Grok Bot usage separate from your other usage?

The official sources answer this differently.

xAI says in its launch and August 26 posts that Grok Bot "comes with its own usage, separate from your Grok and Cursor plans."
Cursor says Grok Bot usage on a self-serve Teams seat "draws from the Teams plan's usage allowance for that seat." xAI's own teams docs say Teams usage "follows the seat's allowance."
Cursor also says Grok Bot's on-demand usage counts toward the same On-demand monthly limit as the rest of your Cursor account.

What happens when you hit the limit

It depends on whether on-demand usage is turned on.

On-demand off. Grok Bot stops. The app says you've reached your Grok Bot usage limit, and access comes back when weekly usage resets.

On-demand on. Bots keep working, and the extra usage is billed through Cursor in arrears. Cursor's help page calls the setting On-demand monthly limit in Grok Bot. On the web it's Spending → Monthly Limit at cursor.com/dashboard.

Official docs

On-demand rules

It's priced on tokens. xAI says extra usage is "billed from model and token cost." You can't pick the model, and billing follows whichever model actually served each request.
The limit isn't a hard stop mid-run. A Bot that's already working can finish past your monthly limit. After that, on-demand stops until you raise the limit or the billing cycle resets.
There's no Grok Bot-only spend cap. xAI's teams docs say a separate Grok Bot cap "is not available today." Account-level on-demand controls apply. Teams can set team-wide monthly limits, and per-member limits are Enterprise-only.
It's on by default for Teams. Cursor enables on-demand by default on the Teams plan. Individual accounts turn it on in Grok Bot settings, and adding a card happens on the web.
Mobile subscribers set it on the web. If you subscribed through the App Store or Google Play, you have to enable on-demand at cursor.com.
Used on-demand usage isn't refundable.

Nobody has published what a typical Bot task costs in on-demand dollars. That depends on which model served it and how many steps and tokens it used, and neither company gives averages. We can't estimate it without running Grok Bot ourselves.

Is there a Grok Bot free trial?

Yes, but it's a usage credit, not a free plan.

Official docs

The trial, per Cursor's plans and billing page

It's credit with a deadline. The trial is a usage credit, and a 7-day window also applies. The credit may run out before the week ends.
One run can use all of it. A single large or long job can consume most or all of the credit. Cursor doesn't restore or top up used credit.
It's one-time. If you cancel with Cancel Trial on the plan screen, the remaining credit is removed, and you can't claim the trial again.
It never charges you. The trial doesn't turn into a paid plan. Cancel Trial shows up on free Cursor accounts. On a paid plan or Teams seat, the trial just ends on its own.
The iOS offer is different. An App Store intro offer is Apple's trial of a paid subscription, and it renews into a paid plan unless you cancel in your Apple ID settings. Cursor says Android has no in-app trial.

Cursor doesn't publish how big the trial credit is.

If you want free access beyond the trial, there isn't any today. Every other way in needs a paid Cursor, SuperGrok, or X Premium+ subscription.

Teams and Enterprise

Self-serve Cursor Teams. Grok Bot is on by default for every member, and admins can't turn it off on Teams. No Premium seat or access request is needed. Usage follows each member's seat, on-demand is on by default, and spend limits apply to the whole team.

Cursor Enterprise. An admin enables Grok Bot from the Cursor dashboard and can limit it to specific groups. Pricing is custom, and xAI says Enterprise customers should contact sales. Cursor says Enterprise seats keep Grok Bot on the Cursor contract and can't take a personal SuperGrok link.

SuperGrok Business or Enterprise. Neither includes Grok Bot, and neither can be linked.

Buying from the mobile app

Grok Bot's iOS and Android apps sell monthly individual plans through the App Store and Google Play. Yearly, Teams, and Enterprise plans are only sold at cursor.com. If your Cursor account already has access, it carries over to mobile, and Cursor says not to buy a second subscription. We didn't check in-app store prices.

What isn't published

As of September 26, 2026, neither xAI nor Cursor publishes:

the size of any plan's weekly Grok Bot usage, in tokens, dollars, or tasks
how Cursor tiers compare with SuperGrok tiers, or X Premium+ with base SuperGrok
the Grok Bot multiplier between Teams Standard and Premium seats
the day and time weekly usage resets
the size of the trial credit
a per-task or per-hour on-demand price, or which model usually serves Grok Bot
how a Teams seat's allowance is split between Grok Bot and regular Cursor usage

If you see a specific number for any of these, check where it came from. It didn't come from xAI's or Cursor's pricing pages.

How Grok Bot pricing changed

Both companies updated their billing pages as access widened. xAI also edited its launch post. The current version lists plans that weren't included on launch day.

August 11, 2026: Grok Bot launched in beta for SuperGrok Heavy, Cursor Ultra, and Cursor Teams Premium subscribers only. That made $120 per Teams seat, $200 for Ultra, or $300 for Heavy the only ways in. The source is the Internet Archive's August 13 capture of xAI's launch post. Cursor's help page, captured August 15, told team members to ask an admin for a Premium seat.
By August 21: Cursor's help page, as archived that day, added Cursor Pro+, all self-serve Teams seats with no Premium seat required, and SuperGrok Plus links. Cursor Pro and base SuperGrok were listed as not included. The page also described the usage-credit trial for the first time.
August 26: xAI announced Grok Bot for SuperGrok, Cursor Pro, and all Cursor Teams plans. Cursor's page, archived August 28, lists every paid individual Cursor plan and base SuperGrok links, and excludes SuperGrok Lite.
By September 6: Cursor's archived help page added X Premium+ links.
By September 14: Cursor's archived help page added the explicit rule that Cursor plans and SuperGrok links don't stack.
September 26, 2026: The plans and rules above are current. xAI's Grok Bot docs and x.ai/bot still don't mention X Premium+, while Cursor's help pages and X's help center do.

The "by" dates come from Internet Archive captures, so they show when a change was visible, not necessarily the day it happened.
