Buyer guide
Compare entry cost, billing terms, and included usage to find the best starting tier for your purchase.
Recommended baseline
This is ToolColumn's recommended starting tier for this plan comparison.
Real entry point
This is the first practical paid tier after entry-level limits are taken into account.
Annual billing
Current public evidence clearly supports monthly prices. Confirm any annual option at the actual checkout and record both its monthly-equivalent and total commitment before treating it as the cheaper entry.
API boundary
Grok app subscriptions, X-linked benefits, Extra Usage Credits, and Grok Build account access do not become general xAI API credit. The account can be shared, but Grok and xAI API billing are separate; API projects have their own token, tool-call, context, and processing-tier meters.
Tracks
Free
Start free and measure whether a repeatable workflow is interrupted by the account’s product limits.
Best for: Occasional chat, research, files, and creation
Avoid if: A weekly workflow repeatedly stops at the usage boundary
$10/mo + usage
Use the entry paid tier when Free is too restrictive but the broader SuperGrok capacity is not yet justified.
Best for: Regular individual use with moderate demand
Avoid if: You consistently need materially higher limits or premium creation access
$30/mo + usage
Use the standard paid tier as the default step for recurring research, creation, and technical workflows.
Best for: Individuals with sustained weekly use
Avoid if: Your pressure is only a short-lived spike or clearly requires the higher tiers
$100/mo + usage
Move to Plus when significantly higher usage, priority access, or premium video output is a recurring requirement.
Best for: Power users with sustained multimodal demand
Avoid if: The standard paid pool rarely interrupts real work
$300/mo + usage
Treat Heavy as the upper individual boundary and verify the signed-in allowance against the actual workload.
Best for: Very high-volume individual use
Avoid if: A managed team workspace or API project is the real requirement
$30/seat/mo
Choose Business for self-serve member administration and organization controls; escalate to Enterprise when requirements exceed that boundary.
Best for: Teams that need shared governance and managed access
Avoid if: The workload is a programmatic integration rather than a user workspace
Usage-based
Use the API for applications and automation, then model the long-context threshold, tools, and processing tier separately.
Best for: Developers and production integrations
Avoid if: The job belongs entirely in the consumer or team app
Access paths
Each access path shows who owns the bill and whether access is bundled, separately metered, sold as an add-on, or handled through sales.
No-charge app access for testing Grok workflows before choosing a paid route.
Best for: Occasional individual use
Boundary: Product limits apply, and no stable fixed quota should be inferred.
Open Grok pricing contextThe lower-cost paid app tier for regular individual use.
Best for: Readers who outgrow Free but do not need the standard paid tier
Boundary: Checkout channel and any annual option must be verified before purchase.
Open Grok pricing contextThe balanced default paid app route for sustained individual use.
Best for: Recurring research, creation, file, and technical workflows
Boundary: The shared weekly pool is not a general API allowance.
Open Grok pricing contextA higher individual tier for materially greater usage and premium creation access.
Best for: Power users who repeatedly exceed SuperGrok’s practical boundary
Boundary: Upgrade for sustained demand, not a single expensive action.
Open Grok pricing contextThe highest named individual app tier in the current plan comparison.
Best for: Very high-volume individual use
Boundary: Verify the signed-in allowance and whether a workspace or API project fits better.
Open Grok pricing contextA web-purchased overflow balance used after the included weekly pool is exhausted.
Best for: Temporary demand spikes
Boundary: Credits are not a subscription or general xAI API balance and generally expire after one year.
Open Grok pricing contextEligible X subscriptions can raise Grok limits within the X product.
Best for: Readers who already pay for X Premium features
Boundary: X controls the plan and billing relationship; do not merge it with direct Grok subscriptions.
Open Grok pricing contextEligible Grok account access can support coding-agent work in Grok Build.
Best for: Developers using the interactive coding surface
Boundary: API-key mode is separately metered and must remain a distinct path.
Open Grok pricing contextThe self-serve managed workspace route for teams and organization controls.
Best for: Teams that need member administration and governed access
Boundary: Per-user workspace billing is separate from API project usage.
Open Grok pricing contextA sales-led route for larger deployments and advanced requirements.
Best for: Organizations needing custom controls, support, or deployment terms
Boundary: Price and contract terms require a vendor quote.
Open Grok pricing contextA separately billed developer route for Grok 4.7, Grok Build models, tools, and processing tiers.
Best for: Applications, automation, and governed programmatic workloads
Boundary: Token context, tool calls, and service tier must be estimated independently of app subscriptions.

Watchouts
These are the boundary conditions and purchase traps worth checking before you optimize for the lowest headline number.
Paid Grok plans use one shared weekly pool across products; usage is action-weighted and the reset time appears in Settings. Do not turn it into a messages-per-day quota.
Extra Usage Credits are web-purchased overflow after the included weekly pool is exhausted; they expire one year after purchase unless otherwise stated and do not become API credit.
Once a Grok 4.7 prompt reaches 200,000 tokens, all tokens use the higher context rates, not only the tokens above the threshold.
The announced fast variant is priced at 2x its base model, while Priority Processing is a 2x API service tier. Keep them distinct in estimates and logs.
Direct Grok, X subscriptions, app-store purchases, team workspaces, and API projects can expose different checkout, cancellation, allowance, and tax relationships.
Editorial pricing notes
Plan caveats, contract terms, and feature-access limits that can change what you actually pay.
Start by deciding where the work belongs. Grok's website and mobile apps are interactive product access with their own subscription and checkout relationships. X-linked benefits and app-store purchases can have different billing owners from a direct grok.com subscription. Business and Enterprise are managed workspace routes. The xAI API is a developer route for applications and automation. A plan name alone does not tell you which account, checkout, allowance, or invoice will apply.
The current Grok website and apps FAQ says paid SuperGrok users receive one shared weekly usage pool across Grok products rather than separate daily product quotas. The pool can be spent across products, but actions consume it at different rates: a simple chat message and a high-compute video or coding task do not have the same cost. The reset schedule appears in Settings → Usage, so a stable messages-per-day quota should not be inferred.
This makes the right personal tier a workload decision. Start with Free for occasional use and measure where the workflow stops. Move up when the same weekly job repeatedly exhausts the included pool. Check the signed-in Usage view rather than relying on a universal quota claim.
When the included weekly usage is exhausted, paid features pause until the weekly reset, while the free-tier Chat and Voice limits remain available on their separate schedule. Current Grok product guidance says Extra Usage Credits can be purchased on the web and are applied after the included pool; they are added immediately, expire one year after purchase unless otherwise stated, and can be bought from $5. They use standard rates, so the cost per action is higher than the effective rate of included weekly usage. A top-up fits an occasional spike. Repeated overages are a reason to compare the next subscription tier instead.
Extra Usage Credits are an app-usage balance. They are not a second subscription and do not become general xAI API credit.
The xAI API accounts FAQ says an existing Grok account can be used for API access, but billing is separate: Grok billing is managed through grok.com or the applicable Apple or Google store, while API billing is managed in the xAI Console. The API billing FAQ describes prepaid credits, monthly invoiced billing, and usage calculated when API requests are made. Estimate API work with its token, tool-call, context, and processing-tier meters; a SuperGrok subscription or Extra Usage Credit balance is not an API budget.

FAQ
Yes. SpaceXAI lists Free at $0 per month. Product limits apply, and the public pricing page does not publish one stable fixed quota for every action.
SuperGrok Lite is listed at $10 per month in the US App Store. Verify the checkout channel and any annual option before paying.
SpaceXAI lists SuperGrok at $30 per month.
SpaceXAI lists SuperGrok Plus at $100 per month, positioned for significantly higher usage, priority access, and premium creation features.
The US App Store lists SuperGrok Heavy at $300 per month. The exact allowance should be checked in the signed-in account.
They are web-purchased add-on credits used after the included weekly usage pool is exhausted. The documented minimum purchase is $5, they are not a subscription, and they generally expire after one year unless stated otherwise.
SpaceXAI lists Business at $30 per user per month. Enterprise uses contact-sales pricing.
Eligible X Premium subscriptions can raise Grok limits inside X, but X owns that subscription and billing relationship. It should remain separate from direct Grok app tiers.
No general API allowance transfer is documented. App subscriptions, X-linked benefits, Extra Usage Credits, and xAI API billing are separate.
For prompts under 200,000 tokens, Grok 4.7 is $2 input, $0.50 cached input, and $6 output per 1 million tokens. At 200,000 prompt tokens or more, all tokens use $4 input, $1 cached input, and $12 output.
No. The release announcement describes a fast Grok 4.7 variant at 2x the base price, while Priority Processing is an API service tier charged at 2x standard token rates when priority service is delivered.
