Grok Pricing 2026: Free, SuperGrok, Heavy and the X Bundle
SuperGrok Lite to Heavy, $10 to $300 a month, plus the X Premium+ bundle trick and separate API billing - every Grok price verified.
Grok has a free tier plus four SuperGrok tiers in 2026: SuperGrok Lite at $10 a month, SuperGrok at $30, SuperGrok Plus at $100 and SuperGrok Heavy at $300. Annual billing runs about 17% cheaper, Business is $30 per seat a month, and the xAI API bills separately per token. X Premium+ ($40 a month) bundles SuperGrok-level Grok access.
Key Takeaways
- Grok is free to start, with limited access to the latest models, image generation and voice.
- Four paid tiers: Lite $10, SuperGrok $30, Plus $100, Heavy $300 a month.
- Annual billing saves roughly 17% (about $100, $300, $1,000 and $3,000 a year).
- X Premium+ ($40/mo) includes SuperGrok-level access - worth pricing if you already pay for X.
- SuperGrok Business is $30 per seat a month for teams.
- The API is separate: Grok 4.7 runs $2 input / $6 output per 1M tokens, cheaper on smaller models.

Which tier makes sense
Lite is a sampler: fine if you outgrew the free caps but do not need video or heavy usage. SuperGrok at $30 is the real product - flagship models, Imagine, connectors. Plus at $100 is for people who hit the $30 limits daily. Heavy at $300 is a power tier aimed at multi-agent workflows, and the fact that it bundles X Premium+ makes it most sensible for people already paying $40 for that anyway. Everyone else should treat $300 as a ceiling, not a default.
The X Premium+ bundle trick
Because X Premium+ ($40 a month) includes SuperGrok-level Grok access, anyone paying for X's top tier is effectively getting Grok inside an existing subscription. If you are pricing Grok for X-heavy use, compare $40 Premium+ against standalone SuperGrok at $30 plus whatever you pay X.
API pricing is a separate bill
None of the subscriptions include API access. The xAI API bills per token: Grok 4.7 is $2 per million input and $6 per million output tokens, with smaller models cheaper and rates doubling on very long prompts. If you want Grok models inside a tool rather than through xAI's app or API billing, Krater runs Grok alongside 500+ other models on one subscription.
Hidden costs
Two to price in. First, Lite and Heavy prices are not always shown on xAI's own page in every region - secondary trackers quote $10 and $300 from grok.com/plans, so confirm at checkout. Second, usage pools reset monthly like every subscription; buying Heavy for one busy week wastes most of the month.

Bottom line
Grok pricing is a five-rung ladder where $30 a month is the real product and everything above buys headroom. Price X Premium+ before Heavy if you are on X already, remember the API is a separate meter, and if Grok is one of several models you use, a multi-model subscription is usually cheaper than stacking single-vendor plans.
