The X Subscription
A unified subscription system launched by xAI that integrates Grok conversation, coding tools and robotics capabilities, allowing a shared usage pool across multiple products. It is the core product of an integrated model-plus-application-plus-subscription strategy.
Timeline (last 90 days)
For users who mainly use Grok and want GrokBot, fewer ads, and the blue check, they should compare the total price of paying separately with the new Premium's $30 and switch only if the total price is lower.
Before switching, confirm whether the bill says the old X Premium or The X Subscription, to avoid being migrated without knowing.
For users who mainly use Claude or GPT within Cursor, since the subscription does not cover third-party models, keeping a separate Cursor plan is usually clearer.
X (formerly Twitter) recently launched a brand-new subscription system, "The X Subscription," bundling Grok, GrokBot, Cursor, and X blue check, ad removal, and other benefits into a single bill.
With Plus as the baseline, Premium offers about 4x the usage, Super about 15x, and Ultra about 50x; Super adds priority access during peak hours, and Ultra builds on that with earlier access to new features.
GrokBot is offered starting from the Premium tier; the Plus tier does not include GrokBot.
The X Subscription plan that new Cursor users enter after registering covers only the Grok series of models by default; Claude and GPT are not within the plan's quota.
The joint subscription package is divided into one free tier (with usage limits) and four paid tiers, with monthly fees ranging from 8 USD to 200 USD (excluding tax).
The X Subscription is now open for subscription.
Cursor has become part of the "The X Subscription" system, and existing Cursor subscribers can choose to keep their original plan or migrate to the new X subscription.
