Short answer
xAI lists the following prices for The X Subscription, a bundle of Grok, Cursor, and X benefits—not a price list for a Grok-4-only subscription. Its listed individual plans include Plus at $8/month and Premium at $30/month; Premium explicitly advertises access to the “latest Grok models.” However, that description does not confirm that Grok 4 or Grok 4 Heavy is selectable on the plan. Confirm the amount and model access shown for your account before buying. [1][2]
For API budgeting, xAI’s current model documentation lists grok-4.7 at $2 per million input tokens and $6 per million output tokens at the base global-endpoint rates. That is a Grok 4.7 example, not a verified price for the older Grok 4 model. xAI says API usage is billed separately from the subscription’s included usage pool. [1][3][4]
Current subscription prices and access
The following are the listed prices for The X Subscription’s paid individual plans. The table also shows their included-usage multiples relative to Plus. [1][2]
| The X Subscription plan | Monthly | Annual | Included usage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Plus | $8 | $80 | Base |
| Premium | $30 | $300 | 4× Plus |
| Super | $100 | $1,000 | 15× Plus |
| Ultra | $200 | $2,000 | 50× Plus |
Annual billing averages $25/month for Premium. xAI describes The X Subscription as bringing Grok, Cursor, and X together. The available pricing description does not establish whether connected-account X Premium benefits are included in these individual-plan prices or whether another X payment is required; confirm the total shown at checkout. These prices refer to The X Subscription, not a separately confirmed price for a standalone Grok.com or app purchase. [1][2]
Which plan should you compare for Grok 4? Premium is the plan whose description explicitly mentions “latest Grok models,” but xAI’s published wording does not name Grok 4 or Grok 4 Heavy as a guaranteed selectable model. The available plan descriptions do not establish exact Grok 4 or Heavy entitlement; check the model shown in your account or checkout before subscribing specifically for it. [1]
Grok API cost for production use
xAI’s model documentation lists grok-4.7 at these base global-endpoint token rates: [3][4]
- Input: $2 per 1 million tokens
- Cached input: $0.50 per 1 million tokens
- Output: $6 per 1 million tokens
The pricing documentation also lists a higher-context tier for requests at or above the stated 200,000-token threshold: $4 per million input tokens, $1 per million cached input tokens, and $12 per million output tokens. The available documentation excerpts do not establish the exact token-count basis for that threshold or which tokens receive the higher rate, so confirm those details against the live rate card before estimating large-context requests. [4]
xAI says token usage through its U.S. regional endpoint is billed at 1.1× the global token rates—a 10% premium. This applies when using that endpoint; a U.S. user should not assume that location alone selects it. [4]
Illustrative API calculation
Suppose a text workload uses 1 million input tokens and 250,000 output tokens over a month, with each individual request below the higher-context threshold. Using the global-endpoint rates and ignoring cached input and tools:
- Input: 1 × $2 = $2.00
- Output: 0.25 × $6 = $1.50
- Illustrative global-endpoint total: $3.50
- Same token-only workload through the U.S. regional endpoint: $3.50 × 1.1 = $3.85
These are arithmetic examples using grok-4.7’s listed rates, not forecasts or Grok 4 quotes. Actual cost depends on model availability, token use, cache eligibility, context length, endpoint, and any tools used. xAI’s tool documentation says tool requests can add invocation charges as well as token usage. [3][4][5]
The model page describes grok-4.7 as accepting text and image input and producing text output. API limits vary by model and account tier; check the current limits and supported features for the intended workload before using this estimate as a production budget. [3][6]
Does a subscription include API usage?
API usage is billed separately. xAI says paid subscription plans include Grok API access, but API requests are charged at model rates and do not draw from the plan’s included usage pool. Budget the subscription and production API consumption as separate line items. [1]
For personal web or app use, compare the subscription’s plan prices and included usage. For a production integration, check API model availability, the applicable rate card, account limits, endpoint, and any tool charges. xAI’s current model documentation lists grok-4.7; the available documentation here does not establish whether an older Grok 4 API identifier remains available or has a separate rate card. [3][4][6]
Why older Grok 4 prices may differ
A third-party CometAPI article reports $30/month for “Grok 4 Standard” and $300/month for “SuperGrok Heavy.” Those are undated third-party figures, not confirmed current xAI prices. The current xAI subscription descriptions use different plan names and do not explicitly confirm Grok 4 or Grok 4 Heavy access at those prices. [1][7]
Bottom line: The X Subscription lists Premium at $30/month or $300/year, but its “latest Grok models” wording does not guarantee Grok 4 or Heavy access. For production estimates, use the applicable API model’s rate card; xAI bills API usage separately from subscription usage. The listed grok-4.7 base rates are global-endpoint rates, with a 10% premium when using the U.S. regional endpoint.
