Grok Pricing 2026: Every SuperGrok Tier Explained

Last Updated: September 19, 2026

Summary: Grok pricing runs from free to $300 a month across six tiers, split between standalone plans on grok.com and X-bundled subscriptions. SuperGrok at $30/month is the flagship tier most paying users land on. SuperGrok Heavy normally costs $300 but is currently discounted to $99/month for new subscribers. All figures verified directly against xAI's own pricing page and official news feed, plus independent press coverage.

Grok pricing runs from free to 300 dollars a month. There are six standalone consumer tiers. There are also two more ways to get Grok bundled through X. That's eight different paths to the same AI. They don't line up cleanly on price or capability. xAI has shipped a new entry-level tier, a new mid-tier plan, and a limited-time discount in just the past few months. A model upgrade is also rolling out unevenly across tiers right now. That pace of change is exactly why Grok pricing searches turn up so much confusion. This guide checks every figure against xAI's own pricing page and its official product news, plus real press coverage of how these prices got here.

Grok's standalone pricing runs across six tiers. All are billed directly through grok.com. Free costs nothing. SuperGrok Lite is 10 dollars a month. SuperGrok is 30 dollars a month, or 300 dollars a year. SuperGrok Plus is 100 dollars a month, or 1,000 dollars a year. SuperGrok Heavy is 300 dollars a month, though it is currently running a 99 dollar promotional rate for new subscribers. Business runs 30 dollars per seat, per month. Enterprise pricing is fully custom, based on need. Every figure here comes straight from x.ai's own official pricing page, checked directly rather than pulled from a third-party estimate.

The free tier covers real-time web and X search, voice mode, and connectors. It does not include image or video generation anymore. xAI pulled that feature from Free in 2026 to control compute costs. SuperGrok is the tier xAI frames as the main upgrade. It unlocks the newest Grok model. It also adds Grok Bot access and image and video generation, on top of everything Free offers, per xAI's official product news. Every paid tier above Free also carries SOC 2 compliance, both Type I and Type II. xAI lists this prominently on its own pricing page. That matters more to business buyers than individual subscribers. Still, it's a real signal. xAI treats data handling as a selling point across the whole lineup, not just the priciest plans.

SuperGrok Plus sits between standard SuperGrok and SuperGrok Heavy. It's built for people who keep hitting limits on the 30 dollar tier but don't need Heavy's full multi-agent capability. At 100 dollars a month, it includes everything in SuperGrok, plus 1080p video creation, much higher usage limits across chat, image generation, voice, and coding tools, faster replies, and priority access during busy times.

This is a genuinely new tier, not a repackaging of something older. Several pricing guides published earlier in 2026 don't mention Plus at all. It launched after those guides went live. That's a big part of why Grok pricing searches turn up conflicting answers. If a guide only lists Free, SuperGrok, and Heavy, it's missing a real tier. Treat it as outdated.

The gap that Plus fills is real too. Jumping straight from 30 dollars to 300 dollars is a steep climb for someone who just needs more video generation or fewer usage caps. At 100 dollars, Plus gives that middle option. It's also the tier most likely to get overlooked by anyone comparing plans from an older guide.

SuperGrok Heavy normally costs 300 dollars a month. It's xAI's most expensive standalone consumer plan. It launched at that exact price alongside the Grok 4 and Grok 4 Heavy models on July 9, 2025. TechCrunch covered the launch directly. Subscribers got early access to Grok 4 Heavy, a multi-agent version of the model. Elon Musk described it as working "like a study group." Several agents work on a problem, then compare answers to find the best one.

But xAI has been running a promotional rate of 99 dollars a month for new subscribers. This is confirmed both on the company's own site and by real search activity around terms like "supergrok heavy $99." Heavy is built for multi-agent reasoning and carries the highest usage caps in the lineup.

Treat the 99 dollar rate as temporary. Promotional pricing on subscription products usually runs for a limited window. It typically reverts to the standard rate once that window ends. If you're budgeting for Heavy long-term, plan around the 300 dollar figure, not the discounted one. Check x.ai's pricing page directly before subscribing, since promotional windows tend to shift without much notice.

Grok is also available bundled into two X subscription tiers, separate from the standalone SuperGrok plans. X Premium costs 8 dollars a month. X Premium+ costs 40 dollars a month. It gives access to the latest Grok model, plus X-specific perks like an ad-free feed and reply prioritization.

Premium+'s current 40 dollar price has a real history behind it, and it's climbed fast. It jumped from 22 to 40 dollars in February 2025. That was timed to the Grok 3 launch, according to TechCrunch's reporting at the time. That followed an even earlier hike too, from 16 to 22 dollars, just two months before. CNET's coverage of the Grok 3 launch confirmed that first price jump as well. Two price increases inside three months, on top of this most recent one, made the X path to Grok considerably more expensive than it used to be. It's climbed fast. Premium+ at 40 dollars now costs more than standalone SuperGrok at 30 dollars, despite generally offering lighter AI capability.

That makes the comparison straightforward for most people. If Grok itself, not X's social features, is why you're subscribing, standalone SuperGrok is usually the better deal. If you already pay for Premium+ for the ad-free browsing and reply priority, the bundled Grok access might already cover what you need. One practical note: conversation history tied to a standalone SuperGrok account doesn't automatically carry over if you switch to Grok through X. It's worth picking one path rather than switching back and forth.

SuperGrok at 30 dollars a month is priced the same as ChatGPT Plus and Claude Pro. That makes a three-way comparison the natural next question, and it's the single highest-converting search topic tied to this page. All three plans target a similar kind of user: someone who wants a capable general assistant beyond a free tier, without stepping up to a pricier professional plan.

Grok leans hardest on real-time access to X and the open web. That shows up clearly in how it handles breaking news and fast-moving topics no other assistant can see as quickly. ChatGPT Plus leans on a mature ecosystem of custom GPTs and the widest third-party integration support. Claude Pro tends to edge ahead on long-document analysis and coding. None of the three beats the others outright. If real-time social and web data matters to your workflow, Grok's 10 dollar premium is easy to justify. If it doesn't, ChatGPT Plus or Claude Pro deliver comparable capability for less. For a full breakdown across all five major platforms, our AI chatbots comparison guide covers the complete picture.

Grok Business costs 30 dollars per seat a month. It adds team-level features on top of everything in standard SuperGrok. That means shared billing, centralized admin controls, and stronger data guarantees built for organizations rather than individuals. xAI also added a premium add-on called Enterprise Vault. It offers customer-managed encryption keys and an isolated data layer for organizations with stricter security needs. VentureBeat covered this addition when Business and Enterprise launched.

Enterprise pricing itself is not listed publicly and requires contacting xAI's sales team directly. That's typical for this tier across most AI vendors, where usage volume and specific compliance needs vary too much for a flat rate. Both Business and Enterprise carry the same SOC 2 compliance and data-training exclusion promised across the paid consumer tiers, just with more administrative control layered on top.

xAI launched the public beta of Grok Bot on August 11, 2026. It's an autonomous agent. It started as an internal tool xAI's own team used, before the company released it more broadly. It works as a persistent cloud computer, one that can sign into apps, complete multi-step tasks, and keep working even after you've stepped away from your screen.

Grok Bot access expanded on August 21, 2026, to cover SuperGrok Plus and SuperGrok Heavy, along with Cursor's Pro+ and Ultra plans as well. There's no separate flat price for Grok Bot itself. It comes bundled into these existing subscriptions. xAI hasn't published a per-task or per-routine fee. Cost tracks whatever plan tier unlocks it, not a separate metered rate.

Enterprise access to Grok Bot currently runs through a waitlist, not immediate rollout. That fits the pattern of a beta product still expanding carefully, rather than opening to every account at once. If autonomous, multi-step task execution is the main reason you're evaluating Grok, Plus or Heavy are the tiers worth looking at closely. Lite and standard SuperGrok don't currently include Grok Bot access at all, so that's worth checking before you commit to a lower tier expecting it.

Grok also offers a developer API, billed per token instead of as a flat subscription. It's billed entirely separately from any consumer plan. A SuperGrok subscription doesn't include API credits. The current flagship model costs 1.25 dollars per million input tokens and 2.50 dollars per million output tokens. A separate coding model runs 1 dollar and 2 dollars per million tokens. A faster, lighter model costs closer to 20 cents per million input tokens, for high-volume apps that don't need the flagship model's full reasoning depth.

A subscription buys one person a seat inside the Grok app. The API meters whatever an application actually does, with no monthly cap and no per-seat structure. That makes it the right choice for anyone building a product, not just using Grok personally. There's no free tier for API access, unlike the consumer app. Testing it requires setting up billing through xAI's developer console first. Budget for at least a small initial charge before evaluating it for a real project.

Most people land on one of three broad answers once they compare the tiers, but the table below gets more specific than that.

The single mistake most worth avoiding here is picking a plan based on an outdated guide you found online. Grok's pricing has changed more than once in 2026 alone. SuperGrok Lite, SuperGrok Plus, and Grok Bot access have all launched or expanded this year. Whatever plan you land on, a quick check of x.ai's own pricing page takes less time than sorting through conflicting guides that may already be months out of date.

Grok pricing runs $0 to $300 a month across six tiers: Free, SuperGrok Lite ($10), SuperGrok ($30), SuperGrok Plus ($100), SuperGrok Heavy ($300, currently discounted to $99), and Business ($30/seat). X Premium and Premium+ ($8 and $40, up sharply from early 2025 prices) offer a separate, lighter path to Grok access. SuperGrok at $30 is priced identically to ChatGPT Plus and Claude Pro, and is the plan most paying users choose. All figures verified directly against xAI's own pricing page and official news feed.

How much does Grok cost per month?
Grok pricing runs from free to 300 dollars a month across six tiers. The free tier costs nothing. SuperGrok Lite is 10 dollars, SuperGrok is 30 dollars, SuperGrok Plus is 100 dollars, and SuperGrok Heavy is 300 dollars, though Heavy is currently discounted to 99 dollars for new subscribers. Business plans run 30 dollars per seat, and Enterprise pricing is custom based on need.

What is SuperGrok Plus?
SuperGrok Plus is a 100-dollar-a-month tier that sits between standard SuperGrok and SuperGrok Heavy. It includes everything in the 30-dollar SuperGrok plan plus 1080p video creation, significantly higher usage limits, and priority access during peak times. It's a genuinely new tier that launched after many existing pricing guides were written, which is why older guides often don't mention it.

Why is SuperGrok Heavy showing a $99 price instead of $300?
xAI is currently running a promotional rate of 99 dollars a month on SuperGrok Heavy for new subscribers, discounted from its standard 300-dollar price, the same price it launched at alongside Grok 4 in July 2025. This kind of introductory pricing is common when companies want to lower the barrier to trying their most expensive tier. Budget for the full 300-dollar rate long-term, since promotional pricing typically reverts after a limited window.

Is Grok cheaper through X Premium or as a standalone subscription?
It depends on what you actually want. X Premium+ costs 40 dollars a month, up from 22 dollars in early 2025, and bundles lighter Grok access with X platform perks — more expensive than standalone SuperGrok at 30 dollars a month. If Grok itself is your main reason for subscribing, standalone SuperGrok is usually the better value than the X-bundled option.

What does Grok Business include that standalone SuperGrok doesn't?
Grok Business, at 30 dollars per seat a month, adds shared billing, centralized admin controls, and an optional Enterprise Vault add-on with customer-managed encryption for organizations with stricter security needs. Both Business and Enterprise carry the same SOC 2 compliance and data-training exclusion as the consumer tiers, with more administrative control layered on top. Enterprise pricing itself isn't listed publicly and requires contacting xAI's sales team.
