xAI folds Grok, Cursor and X Premium into one $30 plan

If you bought SuperGrok, Cursor Pro and X Premium+ separately, xAI puts the bill at $90 a month. Under The X Subscription, the same three products make up a single $30 tier called Premium. According to xAI's announcement, the plan is open to new customers from today and will reach everyone globally over the next few days.

At a glance

• xAI has merged Grok, Grok Bot, Cursor and X Premium into one subscription with five tiers: Free, Plus at $8, Premium at $30, Super at $100 and Ultra at $200 a month.
• Paid tiers draw on one shared pool of Grok model usage across the Grok apps, the Grok tab on X and Cursor; Premium, Super and Ultra get 4x, 15x and 50x the Plus allowance.
• The catch: the announcement never says how much usage Plus actually includes, and third-party models in Cursor, available only from Premium up, are billed separately at API list prices through top-ups.

In case you missed the earlier steps: according to Deep Noodle, SpaceX acquired xAI in an all-stock merger in February 2026, and in April SpaceX bought an option to acquire Cursor for $60 billion in stock. The Cursor deal closed in August 2026, and Bloomberg, as cited by Tech Journal, puts completion on August 14, 2026. Deep Noodle also reports that Cursor's parent, Anysphere, was folded into a new division alongside Grok under the SpaceXAI name.

Premium at $30 replaces a $90 trio of standalone plans

The lineup has five tiers. Free costs nothing and gives daily access to Grok, a starter allowance for Cursor's coding agents and standard X, with usage listed simply as limited. Plus, at $8 a month, adds more AI usage in Grok and Cursor, along with a checkmark, creator tools and fewer ads on X.

Premium, at $30 a month, bundles the benefits of SuperGrok, Cursor Pro and X Premium+, which xAI says used to cost $90 a month combined. Super at $100 and Ultra at $200 carry the same features and differ in usage. According to xAI, the higher tiers remove ads from the X timeline entirely.

Included usage is measured against Plus, which xAI labels Base: Premium gets 4x, Super 15x and Ultra 50x. xAI also says each plan includes at least twice as much coding usage with its own models as the comparable Cursor plan, and that "each comparable new tier provides more usage-per-dollar than the plan it replaces."

Teams pay individual per-seat prices and get 3x the coding usage of old Cursor Teams

Team users can buy Premium, Super and Ultra at the same per-seat prices as individuals. xAI says that works out lower per seat than the older Cursor Teams plans while including 3x more coding usage, plus SSO, admin controls, consolidated billing, usage analytics and SOC 2 compliance.

Enterprise customers can manage Grok and Cursor from one dashboard and draw on a single usage pool across both products. For that tier, xAI sends buyers to its sales team instead of publishing a price list. The pitch arrives in a crowded field: according to Tech Journal, Cursor competes with Anthropic's Claude Code and OpenAI's Codex.

Existing subscribers can stay put or switch for a prorated refund

xAI pitches the whole package as Grok, Cursor and X for roughly what a comparable standalone plan for just one of those products used to cost. Nothing changes for current SuperGrok, Cursor or X Premium subscribers unless they decide to move. They keep their plan, price and features.

The switch option shows up in account billing settings once it is available for your account. Switching comes with a prorated refund for the old plan and with limited-time offers that xAI shows only in those settings. Testing Catalog, reporting the gradual rollout, called the change a big win for SpaceXSI and, for its author, "a free Cursor unlock."

One Grok usage pool covers three apps, but outside models cost extra

At its core, the plan is one shared meter. Every paid plan includes a pool of Grok model usage, and it gets used up the same way whether you call Grok in the Grok apps, in the Grok tab on X or inside Cursor. Think of a family mobile data plan: one allowance, several phones, and whoever streams the most video eats into everyone's share.

Third-party models are not part of that pool. They remain available in Cursor on Premium and above, but that usage is billed separately at API list prices and paid for through top-ups rather than taken out of the included allowance.

The weak spot is the unit of measurement. Every usage figure is a multiple of a Plus Base that the announcement never puts a number on, so "50x" and "at least twice" cannot be checked against tokens or requests. In our view, the bigger limit is that non-xAI models in Cursor cost API list prices on top of the plan. That split likely relates to OpenAI's August 2026 move, reported by Deep Noodle, to cut off Cursor's access to its models, with a proposed November cutoff.

When the switch reaches your account

xAI says the plan will reach everyone globally over the next few days, and existing subscribers will see the switch option in billing settings when their account becomes eligible. No end date has been given for the limited-time switching offers. The announcement leaves absolute usage figures to the pricing page at x.ai/pricing. The next date to watch is November, when OpenAI, according to Deep Noodle, proposed cutting off Cursor's access to its models.
