xAI bundles Grok, Cursor and X

xAI's new X Subscription puts Grok, Cursor and X Premium on one shared usage plan, doubling coding usage on its own models while moving third-party models in Cursor to pay-as-you-go API billing.

xAI has launched The X Subscription, one plan that covers Grok, Grok Bot, Cursor and X Premium. The company says it will reach all users globally "over the next few days." New customers can sign up now. The previous standalone plans are closed to new sign-ups.

Paid tiers share one pool of usage across the Grok apps, the Grok tab on X and Cursor. The allowance refreshes weekly. xAI says each plan includes at least twice as much coding usage with its own models as the comparable Cursor plan.

The main change for developers is how other companies' models are billed. Third-party models are still available in Cursor on Premium and above. They are now billed separately at API list prices through top-ups, with optional spending caps. Existing Cursor subscribers keep their included third-party usage until they switch.

| Plan | Price | Included usage | |---|---|---| | Free | $0 | Limited | | Plus | $8/mo | Base | | Premium | $30/mo | 4x Plus | | Super | $100/mo | 15x Plus | | Ultra | $200/mo | 50x Plus |

xAI says Premium includes the benefits of SuperGrok, Cursor Pro and X Premium+, which previously cost $90 a month combined. Team seats cost the same as the individual plans. The company says that is less per seat than the older Cursor Teams plans and comes with 3x more coding usage, plus SSO and SOC 2 compliance.

Existing subscribers can stay on their current plans. Those who switch get a prorated refund. xAI says it will eventually move remaining customers to the new plans but has not set a timeline, and it says it will give advance notice.
