Grok AI Pricing: Subscription Plans and API Costs

Compare listed Grok subscription prices with xAI API charges, including a production cost estimate for global and US regional endpoints.

Illustration for Grok ai pricing

Listed individual Grok subscriptions range from Free to $200 per month. Production use of the xAI API is a separate cost: the listed Grok 4.7 global rates are $2 per million input tokens and $6 per million output tokens. This pricing snapshot was checked November 8, 2026. Subscription checkout prices may depend on your purchase terms; API rates and endpoint conditions are listed separately.

Grok subscription prices

The X Subscription pricing documentation lists these dollar-denominated prices. Annual prices are billed yearly; the monthly equivalents below are reproduced as shown in the documentation. The documentation says sales tax may be added. It does not establish that every purchase channel or region has identical checkout pricing, so confirm your applicable price before buying. (X Subscription pricing)

Plan Monthly list price Annual price Listed usage or plan distinction
Free $0 Not applicable Limited included usage
Plus $8 $80 ($7/month equivalent) Base included usage; no Grok Bot
Premium $30 $300 ($25/month equivalent) 4× Plus usage; includes Grok Bot
Super $100 $1,000 ($84/month equivalent) 15× Plus usage
Ultra $200 $2,000 ($167/month equivalent) 50× Plus usage
Teams $30, $100, or $200 per seat/month Not listed Premium, Super, or Ultra seats; Plus is not offered for teams
Enterprise Custom Custom Contact sales

For example, the listed Premium annual price is $300, compared with $360 for 12 monthly payments—a $60 difference before tax. The displayed annual monthly equivalents are the documentation’s figures, not new calculations. (X Subscription pricing)

Grok and Cursor share a weekly included usage pool. For self-serve teams, each paid seat has its own weekly pool; seats do not share that included pool, though the team shares prepaid credit for supported additional usage. The documentation does not express the included pool as a fixed number of tokens or requests. (X Subscription overview; usage limits)

Switching to The X Subscription is optional. Existing plans and their terms continue unless you change or cancel them. Check your account’s plan and renewal details before making a change. (X Subscription overview)

Which subscription should you budget for? Free is the no-cost option with limited usage; Plus is the lowest-priced paid tier; Premium is the first tier in this comparison that includes Grok Bot. Higher tiers list larger usage pools. For self-serve teams, multiply the applicable per-seat price by the number of seats; Enterprise pricing is custom. (X Subscription pricing)

xAI API pricing for production use

API token charges are separate from subscription pricing. xAI lists grok-4.7 as an API model. Its text-token prices are in USD per 1 million tokens; the table distinguishes ordinary input, cached input, and output. (xAI API pricing; Grok 4.7 model details)

grok-4.7 token category Short context: prompt below 200K tokens Long context: prompt at least 200K tokens
Input $2.00 / 1M tokens $4.00 / 1M tokens
Cached input $0.50 / 1M tokens $1.00 / 1M tokens
Output $6.00 / 1M tokens $12.00 / 1M tokens

For a request with a prompt of 200K tokens or more, the long-context rate applies to all tokens in that request, not only tokens beyond 200K. Cached input has its own lower rate in each context tier. The US regional endpoint, https://us.api.x.ai/v1, bills token usage at 1.1× the global rates—a 10% premium. (xAI API pricing)

Estimate a production API budget

For text-token charges, calculate each applicable category separately:

Estimated charges = (input tokens ÷ 1,000,000 × input rate) + (cached input tokens ÷ 1,000,000 × cached-input rate) + (output tokens ÷ 1,000,000 × output rate).

Worked example—global endpoint: Assume 100,000 requests in a month, averaging 2,000 uncached input tokens and 500 output tokens per request. That is 200 million input tokens and 50 million output tokens, with no cached input assumed:

  • Input: 200 × $2 = $400
  • Output: 50 × $6 = $300
  • Estimated global text-token total: $700

Same workload—US regional endpoint: Apply the 1.1× multiplier to the token charges: $700 × 1.1 = $770 (input $440 + output $330). This example assumes prompts remain below the 200K long-context threshold. Both totals are estimates for the stated token assumptions, not promised bills; they exclude a separate subscription, taxes, and any other billable features or charges. (xAI API pricing)

Subscription or API: which budget line applies?

  • Personal use in Grok: budget for the subscription tier and its included weekly usage pool. Check the applicable plan terms for any paid additional usage.
  • An application calling the xAI developer API: budget metered API usage by model, token category, context tier, and endpoint. Do not substitute a subscription price for API rates.
  • Teams: budget per-seat subscription prices separately from any paid additional usage; each seat has its own included weekly pool. (X Subscription overview; usage limits; xAI API pricing)

Bottom line: the listed entry paid subscription is $8 per month. Production API spend depends on billed usage: under the example assumptions, Grok 4.7 costs an estimated $700 on global rates or $770 through the US regional endpoint. Recheck the applicable subscription terms and official API pricing before purchasing or deployment.
