xAI has merged Grok, Grok Bot, Cursor and X Premium into single plan termed The X Subscription, priced from a free tier up to $200 a month. The change forces existing SuperGrok, Cursor and X Premium subscribers to decide on a potential migration to the new service.
Four paid xAI tiers plus free entry point
The new xAI package comes in to replace three standalone products, SuperGrok, X Premium and Cursor’s own subscription, with a free tier at the bottom, having a capped Grok chat, image generation and basic posting on X.
The entry-level Plus plan will cost $8 a month, and combine Cursor access with shared credits for Grok’s chat, voice, Imagine and Build tools, in addition to the Grok API. Subscribers will also receive most features that came with previous X Premium subscriptions.
The next tier after the Plus is the Premium tier that offers four times the usage allowance accessible for Plus subscribers at $30 a month. The tier also includes Grok Bot, the latest Grok models and even more ad-free scrolling across most of the X platform.
Super will cost $100 a month and increase the allowance to 15 times the Plus limit, along with priority access during peak demand periods. Ultra, the highest level in the new bundled X subscription package priced at $200 a month, will provide 50 times the Plus allowance and early access to new Grok models.
A usage pool that refreshes weekly
Cursor staff member Colin announced the deal in a forum post on Monday, adding that each paid tier offers at least twice the Grok-model coding usage included in its equivalent plan under Cursor’s previous pricing structure.
The new Ultra tier includes Cursor usage, but this is markedly different from the previous Cursor Ultra plan, which is no longer accepting new subscribers.
Team and enterprise customers will continue to access the services and see no change in per-seat pricing, but will have their coding usage allowance triple.
Cursor subscribers quickly questioned whether they needed to cancel existing plans and how $20 monthly accounts would transition over to the new subscription system.
Why is SpaceX bundling its AI products?
SpaceX acquired xAI in February 202, after which the firm was renamed to SpaceXSI, which is short for superintelligence, and Grok being integrated with the X social platform hands xAI an easy and built-in channel to reach users, an advantage its rivals do not possess.
The move to bundle multiple AI products could also be viewed as a way to generate recurring AI revenue from X’s existing user base, while putting pressure on rivals’ standalone pricing.
Market reaction has been muted, with SPCX trading around $163, above its $135 IPO price but below its roughly $226 peak.
