SpaceXSI has folded Grok, Grok Bot, Cursor and X Premium into a single plan called The X Subscription, with five tiers from free to $200 a month. Why it matters: anyone who was paying for those products separately now has one bill and one shared usage pool to watch — and new customers can no longer buy the old standalone plans the way they used to.
October 13, 2026 — SpaceXSI, the company formerly known as SpaceXAI and now styling itself SpaceX Super Intelligence, announced the bundle on October 12. TechCrunch reported the pricing in full on October 13 as the rollout began.
What happened
The X Subscription replaces the fragmented lineup of SuperGrok, Cursor and X Premium sign-ups for new customers with one plan covering four products: Grok chat (including voice, images, video and API access), the Grok Bot agent, Cursor for AI coding, and the paid X Premium features such as the verification checkmark, creator tools and fewer ads.
How much does The X Subscription cost?
| Plan | Price | Usage vs Plus | Key notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | Limited | Daily Grok access and a starter Cursor allowance |
| Plus | $8/month | 1x | Grok API, checkmark, creator tools, fewer ads |
| Premium | $30/month | 4x | Grok Bot and the latest Grok models start here |
| Super | $100/month | 15x | Same features, much larger allowance, priority at peak times |
| Ultra | $200/month | 50x | Largest allowance in the lineup |
The company positions the $30 Premium tier as the headline deal: it packages benefits that previously added up to about $90 a month across SuperGrok, Cursor Pro and X Premium+. Teams can buy Premium, Super and Ultra seats at the same per-seat prices.
The catches worth knowing
Paid tiers draw Grok and Cursor usage from one shared pool, so heavy coding work can eat into the same allowance you use for chat. Usage is described only as multiples of the Plus allowance, not as a set number of messages or requests, which makes direct comparisons with rivals hard for now. In Cursor, models from other providers — reporting names Anthropic’s Claude and OpenAI’s GPT models as examples — are charged separately at published API rates rather than covered by the bundle. Existing subscribers do not have to move: their current plans continue, and a switch option is appearing gradually in billing settings, with a prorated refund for the old plan. Support guidance reported this week warns that switching is permanent, so it is worth reading the fine print before consolidating.
Why it matters
This is the subscription bundle war arriving in plain sight. Instead of selling a chatbot, a coding tool and a social subscription as three separate decisions, SpaceXSI is betting that one combined offer is stickier — especially against OpenAI and Anthropic, which still sell their products more separately. For subscribers, the honest test is simple: if you already paid for two or more of these products, Premium at $30 likely saves money. If you only used one, the bundle mostly asks you to pay for headroom in products you may never open. Everything AI, tested — and in this case, the math depends entirely on how many of the four products were already on your card.
Frequently asked questions
When did The X Subscription launch?
SpaceXSI announced it on October 12, 2026, with new customers able to sign up right away and worldwide availability expanding over the following days.
Do existing Grok, Cursor or X Premium subscribers have to switch?
No. Current plans, prices and features continue unchanged. A voluntary switch option is rolling out gradually in billing settings.
Are third-party models in Cursor included in the price?
No. Reporting based on the company’s support documentation says models from other providers are billed separately at published API rates, through prepaid credit or top-ups.
Which plan do I need for Grok Bot and the latest Grok models?
Premium at $30 a month or higher. The free and Plus tiers do not include Grok Bot, and the latest Grok models also require Premium or above.
