Announced October 12, 2026, "The X Subscription" merges Grok, Grok Bot, Cursor, and X Premium into a single plan — Free, Plus ($8), Premium ($30), Super ($100), and Ultra ($200) a month — with one shared Grok usage pool across apps and tiered usage multipliers. Existing SuperGrok, Cursor, and X Premium subscribers keep their current plan unless they choose to switch.

xAI announced "The X Subscription" on October 12, 2026, unifying its products — Grok, Grok Bot, Cursor (the AI coding tool), and X Premium — under a single subscription with one shared pool of Grok model usage. The company said new customers could sign up that day and that the plan would roll out to everyone globally "over the next few days."
There are five tiers, priced monthly: Free ($0), Plus ($8), Premium ($30), Super ($100), and Ultra ($200). Plus is the base paid level — more Grok and Cursor usage plus the X Premium essentials like a checkmark, creator tools, and fewer ads. Premium at $30 bundles what xAI describes as the SuperGrok, Cursor Pro, and X Premium+ benefits that previously ran around $90 a month combined. Super and Ultra are the high-usage tiers. xAI says "each comparable new tier provides more usage-per-dollar than the plan it replaces."
What ties the tiers together is a single usage pool: paid plans include one allowance of Grok model usage that spans the Grok apps, the Grok tab on X, and Cursor, rather than separate caps per product. The usage multipliers scale with price — Premium is roughly 4x the Plus allowance, Super about 15x, and Ultra about 50x. Each plan also includes at least twice the coding usage with Grok models as the comparable old Cursor plan; third-party models stay available in Cursor on Premium and above, and usage beyond the pool is billed at API list prices via top-ups.
Existing subscribers are not forced to move. xAI says nothing changes unless you choose to switch — you can keep your current plan, price, and features — and switching carries limited-time incentives plus a prorated refund for the old plan, surfaced in account billing settings once available. Treat exact per-tier usage quantities and Teams per-seat pricing as still settling; xAI published the tier prices and multipliers but not the underlying allowance numbers.
The X Subscription makes one thing clearer for creators: X wants to be where you generate *and* where you publish, with the checkmark and paid reach bundled in. That is fine — but tying your output to a single platform's plan is the part worth hedging. Whatever X tier you land on, [Kompozy](/) is the content engine that produces what you actually post to X and keeps that same work alive everywhere else. Kompozy publishes natively to X as one of the eight social platforms it covers (plus blog and email), so an X Premium checkmark earns its monetization value against a steady stream of real content rather than a sporadic one.
Concretely: draft and film one idea, and Kompozy generates the formats that perform on X and off it — [Clipped Shorts](/glossary/clipped-shorts) and [Persona Shorts](/glossary/persona-shorts) for vertical video, Persona Tweets and Quote Graphics for the timeline, Carousel Posts for LinkedIn and Instagram, plus a Blog Article and an Email Newsletter from the same source. A [Persona Brief](/glossary/persona-brief) governs voice so everything reads as you, and [Autopilot](/glossary/autopilot) schedules and publishes the batch across all nine destinations from one reviewed queue, with durable [output](/glossary/output-buckets) so nothing is trapped in a single app's ecosystem. If X's bundled Grok generation suits one post, use it — then let Kompozy carry the idea into the other eight surfaces where your audience also lives.

Announced October 12, 2026, it is xAI's unified plan that combines Grok, Grok Bot, Cursor (AI coding), and X Premium into a single subscription with one shared pool of Grok model usage. It has five tiers — Free, Plus ($8/mo), Premium ($30/mo), Super ($100/mo), and Ultra ($200/mo) — and rolls out globally over the days after launch.
Nothing changes unless you choose to switch. xAI says existing SuperGrok, Cursor, and X Premium subscribers keep their current plan, price, and features. If you do switch, you get a prorated refund for the old plan plus limited-time incentives, and the option appears in your account billing settings once available.
Paid plans include one allowance of Grok model usage that spans the Grok apps, the Grok tab on X, and Cursor, rather than a separate cap per product. The allowance scales with the tier — roughly 4x Plus on Premium, 15x on Super, and 50x on Ultra. Usage beyond the pool is billed at API list prices through top-ups.
X Premium — the checkmark, reduced ads, creator tools, and analytics — is now folded into an AI subscription rather than sold on its own, so the value question is which tier matches your volume. The durable play is to not tie your output to one platform: a generation-and-publishing engine like Kompozy produces your video, image, and text content and publishes it natively to X plus the other eight destinations from one reviewed queue.
