Which Grok Bot Plan Do I Have: A Screen Checklist

Last Updated: November 2026

Identifying your Grok Bot plan means reading the product name on the billing screen, not the word Premium or Ultra on its own. Those two words each appear in more than one plan family, so a tier word identifies nothing by itself. There are four arrangements you might be holding, and this is a checklist for telling them apart.

This is a checklist for reading the screen in front of you. There are four things you might be holding: The X Subscription, a legacy Cursor plan, a SuperGrok link, or a Grok Business seat.

What this article does not do is tell you whether to change anything. That is a separate decision with its own permanent consequences.

Key Takeaways

1. Read the product name first: Premium and Ultra each name tiers in more than one family, so the tier word alone proves nothing.
2. The Cursor account is the reliable screen: Grok Bot usage meters there in both plan families, whatever granted the access.
3. Four possible arrangements: The X Subscription, a paid legacy Cursor plan, a link, or a Grok Business seat.
4. A link looks different from a plan: A SuperGrok or X Premium+ name on a Grok Bot screen means a grant, not an included entitlement.
5. Ultra is the worst offender: Legacy Cursor Ultra and X Subscription Ultra are different arrangements sharing a name.
6. Stale limits are a support matter: An old limit showing after a switch is not a documented behaviour to work around.

Those six points are the checklist in short. Each screen and each label is covered below, ending with the one case that is a support problem rather than a rule.

Where do you look?

Start in the Cursor account rather than in Grok or X. Grok Bot usage is metered on the Cursor account in both plan families. That is where the agent reports, whatever granted your access.

Open the plan or billing screen and read the product line before anything else. The product line names the family. The tier sits beneath it and only means something once you know which family you are reading.

Cursor's help pages (2026) describe the legacy entitlements, and xAI's documentation (2026) covers the newer family. Between them they define every arrangement below.

One habit prevents most mistakes. Never answer the plan question with a single word. The answer is always a pair: a family and a tier.

AiBuildrs starts every account review this way, because the number of teams who confidently name the wrong family is high enough to assume nothing.

What labels mean The X Subscription?

The X Subscription is the newer unified family. It presents as one subscription covering Cursor, Grok and Grok Bot together, rather than as separate products.

Its tiers are Premium, Super and Ultra, and the agent is included on all three. Free and Plus are also part of this family, and they do not include the agent at all.

The giveaway is pooling. On this family, Grok Bot draws from one shared weekly allowance alongside Cursor and the Grok apps. A usage screen describing a shared or unified pool points here.

The second giveaway is how overflow is handled. This family uses prepaid credit that you load in advance, so a credit balance on the account is a strong signal. AiBuildrs treats that balance as the quickest confirmation of which family an account sits in.

If you are reading Premium here, you have agent access. If you are reading Premium in the older X-only family instead, you may well not, which is the single most expensive confusion in this area.

What labels mean a legacy Cursor plan?

Legacy Cursor plans are the older family and they name themselves plainly: Pro, Pro+ and Ultra, plus Cursor Teams for team seats.

Every paid individual plan here includes Grok Bot. The tiers differ by the size of the weekly grant rather than by capability. Pro is weekly usage, Pro+ is higher, and Ultra is the highest legacy grant.

The giveaway is a dedicated grant rather than a shared pool. On a legacy plan the agent has its own weekly allowance, and nothing else draws it down.

The second giveaway is on-demand billing. Legacy accounts can continue past the grant on demand if that setting is enabled, with Cursor billing it directly. A prepaid credit balance belongs to the other family.

Larger organisations sit outside both. Cursor Enterprise is arranged through an account executive, and Grok Enterprise through an account manager. An account provisioned that way will not match the self-serve screens.

What does a SuperGrok or X Premium+ link look like?

A link is not a plan, and the screen shows it differently. A SuperGrok, SuperGrok Plus, SuperGrok Heavy or X Premium+ name on a Grok Bot screen means one thing. You are looking at a grant attached to a legacy Cursor account.

Your underlying Cursor plan stays exactly as it was. The link supplies an alternative allowance, and Grok Bot uses whichever of the two grants more weekly usage. The two never add together.

A Grok Business seat presents differently again. Access there comes through signing in with Grok on the account holding the seat, rather than through a link created on the Cursor side.

SuperGrok Lite is worth naming because it looks like it belongs in this list and does not. It does not include Grok Bot, so a Lite subscription grants nothing however it is connected.

Linking is also legacy-only. If you are on The X Subscription and see no linking option, nothing is broken; that family handles entitlements through its shared pool instead.

What if the screen still shows an old limit after a switch?

Occasionally an account that has moved to The X Subscription keeps displaying a SuperGrok-style Grok Bot limit. The link should no longer apply after a completed switch, so this is not expected behaviour.

Treat it as a support issue rather than a rule you have misread. There is no documented arrangement in which a link continues to contribute after unification, so a screen showing one is reporting something stale.

Do not plan capacity around it either. Building a team's week on an allowance that should not exist is a reliable way to be interrupted when it disappears.

The same caution applies to anything else on screen that contradicts the published documentation. Where the two disagree, the documentation describes the intended behaviour and the screen may simply be behind.

AiBuildrs raises these with the vendor rather than designing around them, because an undocumented allowance is not a foundation anyone should build a workflow on.

Frequently Asked Questions

I can see Ultra, so which Ultra is it?

Read the product line above the tier. A legacy Cursor Ultra sits in the Cursor plan family and carries the highest legacy weekly grant, dedicated to the agent. An X Subscription Ultra sits in the newer unified family and draws on a shared pool alongside Cursor and the Grok apps. Both include Grok Bot, but the usage mechanics differ completely, so the tier word alone cannot answer the question for you.

I can see Premium, is that X Premium or X Subscription Premium?

They are different products and the difference matters more here than anywhere else. X Subscription Premium includes Grok Bot. Ordinary X Premium belongs to the older X-only family and can raise your Grok limits without including the agent at all. Check whether the product line reads as a unified subscription covering Cursor and Grok, or as an X-only plan, before concluding anything about agent access.

I can see SuperGrok on a Grok Bot screen, what is that?

That is a link rather than a plan. SuperGrok, SuperGrok Plus, SuperGrok Heavy and X Premium+ can each be linked to a legacy Cursor account to grant Grok Bot usage. Your Cursor plan stays unchanged throughout. The agent then uses whichever source grants more weekly usage. The two allowances never combine, so seeing both named does not mean you hold the sum of them.

Where is usage shown after a switch?

In the Cursor account, same as before. Metering does not move to X or Grok when your entitlement does, which surprises people who expect the usage screen to follow the subscription. After a switch you are reading a shared weekly pool rather than a dedicated grant. The same account then holds your prepaid credit balance instead of an on-demand billing setting.

Does the Grok app tell me which plan I have?

Not reliably for the agent. The Grok apps and the Grok Bot agent are different products, and the agent reports against the Cursor account instead. A Grok app screen can tell you about your Grok entitlements while telling you nothing definite about agent access. Treat the Cursor plan or billing screen as the authoritative one for this particular question, and check the Grok app only for Grok itself.

What if I hold more than one Cursor account?

Check each one, because entitlements attach to accounts rather than to people. It is common to hold a personal account and a team seat, with the agent available on only one of them. This matters before linking anything. A link is created on whichever Cursor account you are signed into at the time, and official help describes it as permanent.

Can I tell from the app whether I am on Teams?

Cursor Teams appears as a team plan rather than an individual one, and it sits in the legacy family. It includes Grok Bot as part of the team arrangement. Where somebody else in your organisation provisioned the access, the billing screen may not be visible to you at all. Your administrator is then the faster route to a definite answer than any screen you can reach.

Does macOS show something different from iOS?

No, the entitlement is the same across both. One detail is worth knowing while you read the usage figure. macOS and iOS draw from a single shared usage bucket rather than holding separate allowances. Work done on one device therefore reduces what remains on the other. That can look like a reporting error if you expect two independent figures, and it is not one.

What should I do once I know which plan I have?

Stop there, if the plan covers your work. Identification and change are separate decisions, and switching between families is permanent with no route back. One finding is worth acting on immediately. If you pay for both a Cursor plan and a linked subscription, the two never add together. You are funding the smaller of them for nothing, which is worth correcting this week rather than next quarter.

Executive Summary

Identification runs in one direction: product name first, then tier. Reversing that order is what produces wrong answers.

Grok Bot usage is metered on the Cursor account regardless of which family you are in. That makes the Cursor account the most reliable screen to read.

Four arrangements are possible. The X Subscription grants the agent on Premium, Super and Ultra. A paid legacy Cursor plan grants it outright. A SuperGrok or X Premium+ link grants usage on a legacy account. A Grok Business seat grants it through a different sign-in.

A screen still showing an old SuperGrok-style limit after a switch is a support issue. It is not a rule you have misunderstood.

What Should You Do Next?

Open the Cursor plan screen and write down two things: the product family, and the tier. That pair is the complete answer, and either half alone is not.

If the exercise turns up overlapping subscriptions nobody can account for, talk to AiBuildrs about auditing what the team is actually paying for.
