One bill now covers Grok, Cursor and X Premium. Here is what each paid tier gets you, who saves money, and the catch for coders.
SpaceXSI, Elon Musk's AI company, has merged Grok, Grok Bot, the Cursor coding tool and X Premium into one plan called The X Subscription, announced October 12.
All paid tiers share one weekly AI allowance across Grok and Cursor. The company says Premium covers what used to cost $90 a month for three separate plans, so heavy users of both Grok and X save the most. Rival models inside Cursor, like Claude or GPT, are billed extra.
Current subscribers can stay on their old plans for now and switch later with a prorated refund.
For $30 a month, Elon Musk’s AI company now sells what used to cost $90: Grok’s top chatbot features, the Cursor coding tool and ad-free X, all on one bill. SpaceXSI, the company formerly called SpaceXAI, announced The X Subscription on October 12, with four paid tiers from $8 to $200 a month.
If you pay for any of these services today, or have been eyeing an AI subscription, this changes the math. Some people will save real money. Others, especially programmers who rely on rival AI models inside Cursor, could end up paying more than they expect. Here is how the plans break down.
The X Subscription has four paid tiers, plus a free level that sits underneath them. Prices are in US dollars and exclude taxes such as VAT.
Some early reports put Ultra at 20 times Plus. The company’s own pricing table says 50 times, so go by that.
The big change is one shared pool of AI usage. Instead of separate limits for each product, every paid plan gets a single allowance that covers the Grok apps, the Grok tab inside X and Cursor’s coding agents. Within Grok it covers chat, image making, voice and Grok Bot.
That allowance refreshes every week, not every month, so a single heavy day won’t burn through your whole month. Run out and you can buy top-ups or wait for the reset. Your remaining usage shows in settings.
For coders, Premium unlocks the Cursor features most people pay for: code hosting, AI code reviews, cloud agents and automations. Cursor is the AI coding assistant SpaceXSI bought earlier this year (reports differ on whether the deal closed in June or August). The company says each new tier includes at least twice the coding usage, on its own models, of the matching old standalone Cursor plan.
On the X side, Plus behaves like the old basic Premium with a checkmark and fewer ads. From Premium up, ads disappear on most parts of the app.

The clearest winners are people who already paid for both Grok and X. The company’s pricing table says the $30 Premium tier covers what SuperGrok, Cursor Pro and X Premium+ used to cost together: $90 a month. Even without Cursor, SuperGrok and ad-free X ran about $30 each before.
If you only use one product, the picture is less rosy. Someone who just wants a chatbot can get Claude Pro, ChatGPT Plus or Google AI Pro for $20 a month, so $30 is still a step up unless you also want the X perks.
The real catch is for programmers. Rival models in Cursor, such as Claude or GPT, sit outside the shared pool. SpaceXSI bills that usage separately at standard API rates through top-ups. The company says the new plans give more usage per dollar of its own models, and that wording matters: if your workflow leans on non-Grok models, check your typical usage before switching. Spending caps are available to stop surprise bills.
There’s one more unknown. The company describes usage as multiples of Plus (4x, 15x, 50x) but hasn’t said how much Plus actually includes in absolute terms.
Nothing changes right away for existing subscribers. If you already pay for Cursor, SuperGrok or X Premium, your plan, price and features carry on. SpaceXSI simply stopped selling those standalone plans to new customers.
A switch button is rolling out in billing settings, with limited-time offers and a prorated refund on the old plan. Cursor users keep their included third-party model usage until they move over. The company says remaining customers will eventually be migrated, with advance notice, but it hasn’t set a date.
Businesses get Premium, Super and Ultra as team plans at the same per-seat prices as individuals, starting from $30 per user per month. Team seats add single sign-on, admin controls, shared billing, usage analytics and SOC 2 compliance, a common security certification. Large organizations can ask for custom Enterprise deals.
New customers could sign up on the company’s pricing page from launch, and SpaceXSI said it would roll the plan out globally within days. It has not published separate UK or Canadian prices, and App Store pricing wasn’t listed at launch, so expect local amounts to differ once tax is added.
One safety tip: SpaceXSI says it sells the subscription only through its own website and may suspend accounts bought from resellers. If you see a cheap Ultra plan on a marketplace, skip it. You can cancel anytime, as long as you do it at least 24 hours before renewal.
Plus is $8 a month, Premium $30, Super $100 and Ultra $200, before tax. A limited free tier also exists.
Yes. All paid tiers include Cursor using Grok models, with more coding features from Premium up. Rival models like Claude or GPT cost extra.
No. Existing plans keep working at the same price for now. SpaceXSI plans to move everyone eventually and promises notice first.
