SuperGrok in 2026: What Happened to It, What It Costs Now, and Which Grok Plan to Choose
SuperGrok is closed to new subscribers. Here is what replaced it, what each X Subscription tier costs and includes, and what existing SuperGrok subscribers should do.
SuperGrok: The Short Answer
SuperGrok was xAI's paid Grok subscription. Since xAI introduced The X Subscription on October 12, 2026, new customers can no longer buy SuperGrok; they choose Plus ($8 a month), Premium ($30), Super ($100) or Ultra ($200) instead. Existing SuperGrok subscribers keep their plan and price unless they switch or cancel, and xAI's documentation says a switch cannot be undone. For most people who wanted SuperGrok, the closest match is Premium at $30.
Quick answer: How much is SuperGrok? SuperGrok was $30 a month before October 12, 2026, and is no longer sold to new subscribers. Its replacement, X Subscription Premium, also costs $30 a month and, according to xAI, carries SuperGrok's benefits plus X Premium+.
The Old SuperGrok Tiers
AI Toolbox lists these SuperGrok prices from before October 12, 2026, with yearly billing at ten months' price:
| Old plan | Monthly price |
|---|---|
| SuperGrok Lite | $10 |
| SuperGrok | $30 |
| SuperGrok Plus | $100 |
| SuperGrok Heavy | $300 |
These plans continue for existing subscribers at the same price and features.
The X Subscription: What Replaced SuperGrok
| Plan | Monthly (US) | Yearly | What it includes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | n/a | Limited daily Grok, a starter allowance for Cursor's coding agents, standard X |
| Plus | $8 | $80 | Base usage pool for Grok and Cursor, X checkmark, creator tools, fewer ads, X analytics |
| Premium | $30 | $300 | 4x Plus usage, Grok Bot, latest Grok models, image and video creation, Cursor cloud agents, X Premium+ |
| Super | $100 | $1,000 | 15x Plus usage, priority model access at peak times, faster responses |
| Ultra | $200 | $2,000 | 50x Plus usage, fastest responses, earliest access to new products and models |
Prices are US list prices before tax as of October 13, 2026, as summarised by GeoToolbox from xAI's pricing and docs pages. xAI defines usage only relative to Plus and publishes no fixed message counts; allowances refresh weekly. API access is billed separately per token.
Should Existing SuperGrok Subscribers Switch?
- Stay if your SuperGrok plan does what you need. xAI says existing plans keep their price and features.
- Compare carefully before switching, because xAI's documentation says a completed switch "can't be undone."
- On the web, xAI cancels the old plan and refunds unused time pro rata when you switch, according to AI Toolbox's summary of xAI's docs.
- X Premium+ subscribers who want to keep those benefits should pick Premium or higher, xAI advises.
Is the Grok Subscription Worth It?
| You... | Pick |

| Try Grok occasionally | Free |
| Want an X checkmark and some Grok | Plus, $8 |
| Use Grok daily and want image and video creation | Premium, $30 |
| Hit Premium limits regularly | Super, $100 |
| Use Grok and Cursor agents all day | Ultra, $200 |
Grok vs ChatGPT vs Claude Prices

Building an App With an AI Subscription
Grok, ChatGPT and Claude can all plan and write code, and the X Subscription now bundles Cursor's coding agents. Turning that into a published iPhone app still takes building, signing and an App Store submission. As a disclosure, Superapp is our product, so weigh this accordingly. Superapp turns a plain-English description into a native Swift app for iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch or Mac, or a website or web app, and prepares the App Store submission. It does not build Android apps.
