## Key points

- SpaceXSI announced The X Subscription on October 12, 2026: one plan family for Grok, Grok Bot, Cursor and X Premium, in five tiers from Free to Ultra.
- Prices: Free $0, Plus $8, Premium $30, Super $100 and Ultra $200 a month. Team seats cost the same per seat as Premium, Super or Ultra.
- Grok Bot starts at Premium, $30 a month. For new customers that replaces the $20 Cursor Pro route, the cheapest way in since August 26.
- Usage is one weekly pool shared across Grok and Cursor; within Grok it covers Chat, Imagine, Voice and Grok Bot. In August, Grok Bot had its own pool.
- Third-party models in Cursor stay available on Premium and up, billed separately at API list prices through top-ups. Plus runs Grok models only.
- Existing SuperGrok, Cursor and X Premium subscribers keep their plans for now; the old plans are closed to new sign-ups.

**SpaceXSI announced The X Subscription on October 12, 2026: one plan family that brings Grok, Grok Bot, Cursor and X Premium together in five tiers, from Free to Ultra at $200 a month.** For Grok Bot buyers the headline is the entry price. Grok Bot now starts at the $30 Premium tier, and the $20 Cursor Pro route that had been the cheapest way in since August 26 is closed to new sign-ups.

## What SpaceXSI announced

The announcement went out on X at 22:48 UTC: "We've unified plans across Grok, Cursor, and X Premium." The [x.ai post](https://x.ai/news/x-subscription) itself carries an October 2 date. In its words: "Today we're introducing The X Subscription, which brings together Grok, Grok Bot, Cursor, and X Premium in one plan." It says the plans roll out globally over the next few days.

The pitch is price. SpaceXSI describes Premium as "The benefits of SuperGrok, Cursor Pro, and X Premium+, previously $90/month combined" and says each new tier gives more usage per dollar than the plan it replaces. On coding: "Each X Subscription plan includes at least twice as much coding usage with our models as the comparable Cursor plan."

## The five plans

*Table: The X Subscription, per x.ai/pricing (read 22:51 UTC October 12, 2026)*

| Plan | Price per month | Included usage | Grok Bot | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | Limited | No | Daily Grok access, a starter allowance for Cursor's agents, standard X |
| Plus | $8 | Base | No | Grok Chat, Voice, Imagine, Build, the Grok API, Cursor (Grok models only), X checkmark |
| Premium | $30 | 4x Plus | Yes | Latest Grok models, cloud agents, code hosting and reviews, third-party models at API list price |
| Super | $100 | 15x Plus | Yes | Priority model access at peak times |
| Ultra | $200 | 50x Plus | Yes | Earliest access to products and models |
| Teams | $30+ per seat | 4x to 50x Plus, pooled | Yes | Same per-seat prices as Premium, Super and Ultra, plus SSO, admin controls and SOC 2 |

The same grid appears on [Cursor's pricing page](https://cursor.com/pricing), which now sells The X Subscription instead of its old Pro and Ultra plans and notes that only Grok models are available on Plus.

## What changes for Grok Bot

Grok Bot's cheapest individual route has changed three times since its August 11 launch.

*Table: Cheapest individual route to Grok Bot, by date (CellCog records from SpaceXAI and Cursor announcements)*

| Date | Cheapest route | Price per month |
|---|---|---|
| August 11 (launch) | Cursor Ultra | $200 |
| August 21 | Cursor Pro+ | $60 |
| August 26 | Cursor Pro | $20 |
| October 12 (new customers) | The X Subscription Premium | $30 |

Two things changed besides the price.

- **One pool, not two.** In August, SpaceXAI said Grok Bot usage sat in its own pool, separate from Grok and Cursor plan usage ([our August 26 record](https://cellcog.ai/blog/grok-bot-cursor-pro/)). Now: "Within Grok, the pool covers Chat, Imagine, Voice, and Grok Bot." Heavy Grok Bot work and heavy Cursor coding draw from the same allowance. "Your allowance refreshes weekly, so one heavy day never wipes out your whole month."
- **Third-party models cost extra.** Claude and GPT models stay available in Cursor on Premium and up, billed at API list prices through top-ups. Existing Cursor plans keep their included third-party usage until the subscriber switches.

## If you already pay for SuperGrok or Cursor

Nothing changes on day one. You can keep your plan or switch and get a prorated refund, and SpaceXSI says switching comes with limited-time offers in your billing settings. But: "The previous plans are no longer available for new sign-ups." And on the long run: "Eventually we'll move any remaining customers to the new plans, but there's no timeline yet, and we'll give advance notice before anything changes."

So the $20 Cursor Pro route to Grok Bot now lives only in existing accounts. For someone already paying for SuperGrok, Cursor Pro and X Premium+ separately, Premium at $30 is a clear saving. For someone who only wanted Grok Bot, the floor rose by $10.

## What is not published

- **Allowance sizes.** SpaceXSI gives multiples (Premium is 4x Plus, Ultra 50x) but no absolute amounts, the same gap our [pricing page](https://cellcog.ai/blog/grok-bot-pricing/) has tracked since August.
- **The comparable plan.** The post says each tier beats "the comparable plan it replaces" without naming which old plan maps to which tier.
- **The date.** The x.ai page says October 2; the announcement on X went out October 12, and our watcher first saw the page that evening.

## What this means if you are choosing an agent platform

Our conflict, declared: CellCog competes with Grok Bot for the same buyers, and every CellCog tier runs Claude Opus 5.5.

The X Subscription makes Grok Bot one feature in a consumer bundle, next to chat, image generation and checkmarks, drawing on a shared weekly allowance. That is a good deal if you use all four products. It is a different shape from hiring AI employees: each CellCog AI employee runs on its own secure VM and file system with its own browser identity and logins, and keeps its memory from one session to the next. Our [Grok Bot alternatives](https://cellcog.ai/blog/best-grok-bot-alternatives/) page compares the options side by side.

## What we are watching

- **Allowance numbers.** The first SpaceXSI or user report that puts absolute sizes on the weekly pools.
- **The migration date** for remaining SuperGrok and Cursor subscribers.
- **Grok Bot on Plus.** Whether a lower tier gains Grok Bot as the bundle settles.

## FAQ

**Does the Plus plan include Grok Bot?**

No. SpaceXSI's pricing page lists Grok Bot from Premium up. Plus includes Grok Chat, Voice, Imagine, Build, the Grok API and Cursor with Grok models only.

**What happens to my Cursor Pro or SuperGrok plan?**

Nothing for now. You can keep it or switch with a prorated refund. SpaceXSI says it will eventually move remaining customers, with no timeline yet.

**Is Grok Bot usage still a separate pool?**

No. On The X Subscription one weekly pool covers Grok and Cursor, and within Grok it covers Chat, Imagine, Voice and Grok Bot.

**How big is each plan's allowance?**

SpaceXSI publishes multiples, not absolute amounts: Premium is 4x Plus, Super 15x and Ultra 50x.

**Can I still use Claude or GPT models in Cursor?**

On Premium and above, billed separately at API list prices through top-ups. Plus is limited to Grok models.

**Does CellCog work like Grok Bot?**

No. Each CellCog AI employee runs on its own secure VM and file system with its own browser identity and logins, and every CellCog tier runs on Claude Opus 5.5.
