Which Plans Include Grok Bot, and Which Ones Do Not
Grok Bot ships with 3 of the 5 X Subscription tiers and every paid legacy Cursor plan. Here is what each tier grants, and what switching costs you.
Last Updated: November 2026
Grok Bot is included on three of the five X Subscription tiers, and on every paid individual legacy Cursor plan. Two separate plan families grant it: the newer X Subscription, and the older Cursor plans that predate it. Which family you are on decides how your usage is counted and billed. The two differ enough that the distinction matters more than the tier name.
AiBuildrs builds custom AI systems for mid-market firms. Founder Jerry Jariwalla has spent 22 years in digital marketing and tech leadership. The team has completed over 200 successful AI implementations, producing $4.7M in documented client cost savings.
This matters because the two families do not work alike. One draws from a shared weekly pool, while the other uses a weekly grant tied to your Cursor account. Mixing them up leads to teams buying capacity they already hold.
Key Takeaways
- Two plan families, and Ultra sits in both: "Legacy" and "Ultra" are not opposing plan names. Ultra exists as a legacy Cursor plan and as an X Subscription tier.
- Three of five X tiers include it: Premium, Super and Ultra do, while Free and Plus do not. Super and Ultra carry larger weekly pools.
- Linking grants usage, not a plan: A linked SuperGrok or Grok Business seat raises your allowance, but it does not stack with your Cursor plan.
- Switching is one way: Moving to The X Subscription is permanent, and support cannot undo it.
Those four points cover what each family grants. Below: what the agent is, which tiers include it, how the legacy side differs, and what changes if you move.
What is Grok Bot, and what is it not?
Grok Bot is a team of always-on agents. You give a bot a goal, and it works on a persistent cloud computer carrying a browser, files and a terminal.
It is not the Grok chatbot. It has no rebellious personality setting, and it does not read the X feed for sentiment. Those features belong to the Grok chat app instead.
That distinction matters when you compare plans. Several X tiers include the chatbot but not the agent, and buying for the wrong one is a common error.
There is also no separate Grok Bot subscription. The agent arrives bundled inside a plan.
Which X Subscription plans include Grok Bot?
Grok Bot is included on Premium, Super and Ultra, and this applies to individual accounts and to team seats alike. Free and Plus do not include it.
According to xAI's documentation (2026), Super and Ultra carry larger weekly pools than Premium. Usage also works differently here than it does on legacy plans.
Grok Bot draws from one shared weekly pool, and Cursor and the Grok apps draw from that same pool. It refreshes weekly.
When the pool runs out, extra usage comes from prepaid credit that you buy as top-ups. There is no on-demand billing on this path, and no account linking is involved.
One detail catches teams out. Usage is metered on the Cursor account rather than on Grok or X.
Do legacy Cursor plans still include it?
Yes. Grok Bot is included on every paid individual Cursor plan, meaning Pro, Pro+ and Ultra, and it is included on Cursor Teams as well.
Cursor's help pages (2026) describe Pro as weekly usage, Pro+ as higher, and Ultra as the highest legacy weekly grant. All three sign in the same way, through the Cursor account.
The billing path differs from The X Subscription. Legacy plans give you a weekly grant that resets each week. Once it is used up, you can continue on demand if that setting is enabled.
So the two families run two different meters. One is a shared pool with prepaid top-ups, the other a weekly grant with optional on-demand.
Larger organisations sit outside both arrangements. Cursor Enterprise access is enabled through an account executive, and Grok Enterprise goes through an account manager.
Can you link another account for more usage?
Yes, on legacy Cursor plans. Linking grants additional Grok Bot usage, and your existing Cursor plan stays exactly as it is.
Four individual subscriptions qualify: SuperGrok, SuperGrok Plus, SuperGrok Heavy and X Premium+. You can also sign in with a Grok account that holds an assigned seat on a self-serve Grok Business plan.
Here is the part that costs teams money. The allowances do not add together, because Grok Bot uses whichever source grants more weekly usage. Paying for both does not double anything.
SuperGrok Lite does not include Grok Bot at all, so linking it achieves nothing.
Metered activity stays tied to the single Cursor account either way. On Apple platforms, macOS and iOS share one usage bucket.
What happens if you switch to The X Subscription?
Switching is optional for existing legacy customers. If you do move, the official documentation is blunt about the consequence.
A completed unification is permanent, and support cannot undo it. Your entitlements then follow The X Subscription, and usage comes from the shared weekly pool.
A SuperGrok link is no longer part of the arrangement after that point, and that is the detail to weigh most carefully. If your current setup depends on a linked subscription for its allowance, switching removes that path. Check what your linked account contributes before you decide.
How does Grok Bot compare to Muse and Claude Duet?
These three products solve different problems, so comparing them on plan price alone will mislead you. Grok Bot runs inside Cursor and works on technical tasks, Meta's Muse is a personal AI agent, and Anthropic's Claude Duet is a research preview.
Muse gives each user a Muse Secure VM. Meta describes this (2026) as a persistent, isolated Linux computer with a full browser, which both the person and the agent can use. The person can step in at any point.
You talk to Muse in its own app or directly in WhatsApp, by message or by voice. It asks before acting on your behalf, for example before sending email or making a purchase. It also shows an audit trail of what it has done and what it plans next, and you choose which apps it connects to.
Claude Duet is more restricted, and the restriction is the headline. Anthropic launched it in October 2026 as a research preview, limited to the United States, for Pro and Max subscribers, by waitlist. Team and Enterprise are not supported.
Duet checks connected accounts every few hours rather than continuously. It seeks approval before sending messages, making payments or signing documents.
No public pricing exists for Muse, and Anthropic has not published general availability for Duet. Any article quoting a monthly figure for either product is guessing.
Which plan should your team actually choose?
Start with the work rather than the tier list. The plan follows from what you are automating. Ask who needs the agent, what they are doing with it, and how often.
Those three answers point at a tier faster than any feature comparison will. If your developers already live in Cursor, you very likely have access already.
Check the account before buying anything. AiBuildrs regularly sees teams purchase a new tier for an entitlement they were holding the whole time.
An AI Strategy Day maps that work before any tool gets bought. AiBuildrs runs these sessions to find where an agent earns its keep, and where it will sit idle instead.
Off-the-shelf agents stop at the edge of your own systems. None of these three reaches into a proprietary database or a legacy internal tool. That is where a bespoke AI system becomes the cheaper answer rather than the expensive one.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can Grok Bot work inside Reddit or other sites without an API?
Yes, within limits. The agent drives a real browser, so it can work a site that offers no API. It signs in and clicks through the pages as a person would. That is a general capability rather than a Reddit integration, and no plan lists Reddit as a supported service. Claims of a built-in Reddit feature appear in neither vendor's documentation, so treat them as unverified.
Is Grok Bot included on the free plan?
No. The Free tier of The X Subscription does not include Grok Bot, and neither does the Plus tier. Access starts at Premium and continues through Super and Ultra, with the larger pools on the two higher tiers. On the legacy side, every paid individual Cursor plan includes the agent, but there is no free legacy route to it either. The agent is a paid entitlement in both plan families.
How much does Grok Bot cost per month?
Neither xAI nor Cursor publishes a standalone price for Grok Bot, because the agent is not sold separately. It is bundled into wider plans instead. That means the useful comparison is not price per agent, but how much weekly usage each tier actually grants you. Judge a tier on its usage allowance, and on whether your team already pays for it today. Many teams find they are covered before they buy anything new.
Is Grok Bot the same as the Grok chatbot?
No, and the difference affects which tier you need to buy. Grok Bot is a team of agents acting on a cloud computer of their own. The Grok chatbot is a conversational app on X. Some tiers include the chatbot without including the agent at all. Confirm which product a tier actually grants before you upgrade, because the two names are close enough to cause expensive mistakes on a team plan.
Does Grok Bot have its own app?
There is no standalone Grok Bot application, so you reach it through your existing Cursor installation. On Apple platforms, macOS and iOS draw from a single shared usage bucket rather than from separate allowances. Usage is metered on the Cursor account in every case, and that account is also where you check your remaining capacity. That holds on either plan family.
Does linking a SuperGrok plan double my usage?
No. Linking a qualifying subscription to a legacy Cursor account grants usage, but the two allowances never add together. Grok Bot simply uses whichever source gives more weekly usage. Paying for both a high Cursor tier and a high linked plan gains you nothing beyond the larger of the two figures. SuperGrok Lite is a separate case, because it does not include Grok Bot at all.
Can I undo a switch to The X Subscription?
No. The official documentation states that a completed move is permanent, and that support cannot reverse it for you. Before switching, check whether your current allowance depends on a linked subscription, because that link stops applying afterwards. Your usage then comes from the shared weekly pool instead, with prepaid credit covering anything beyond that pool. Work out what you would lose before you start the move.
Does Cursor Teams include Grok Bot?
Yes. Grok Bot is included on Cursor Teams as well as on the paid individual legacy plans. Team seats on The X Subscription follow the tier rules instead. Premium, Super and Ultra seats carry the agent, while Free and Plus seats do not. Usage still meters against the Cursor account in both cases, and larger organisations on Cursor Enterprise arrange access through an account executive.
Where do I check how much usage I have left?
Check the Cursor account, because that is where Grok Bot usage is metered regardless of which plan family you are on. Your Grok or X account will not show the figure. On The X Subscription you are looking at a shared weekly pool, while on a legacy plan you are looking at a weekly grant. Both reset weekly, and both show prepaid credit or on-demand usage separately.
Executive Summary
Grok Bot is xAI's team of always-on agents, and it is not the Grok chatbot on X. Access comes through one of two plan families.
On The X Subscription, Grok Bot is included on Premium, Super and Ultra, while Free and Plus do not include it. On legacy Cursor plans it is included on every paid individual plan and on Cursor Teams.
You can link certain outside subscriptions to a legacy Cursor account for more usage, but the allowances do not add together. Grok Bot uses whichever grants more.
Switching from a legacy plan to The X Subscription is permanent, and Cursor support cannot reverse it. Read the section on switching before you move.
What Should You Do Next?
Check your Cursor account first, because many teams already hold the entitlement they are about to buy.
If the work is bigger than one agent inside one IDE, map it before you buy anything. Talk to AiBuildrs about which parts of your operation an agent can actually take over.
