Is Grok free? What the free tier includes and what every plan costs
Grok has a free tier, but the best features sit behind The X Subscription. Here is exactly what you get for $0, $8, $30, $100 and $200 a month as of October 2026.
Yes, Grok has a free tier with limited usage. Paid plans start at $8 a month (Plus). Grok Bot and more image and video usage start at $30 (Premium), with Super at $100 and Ultra at $200.
What the free tier gives you
You can use Grok for free in the Grok app, on the web and in the Grok tab on X. The official pricing page describes the free tier simply as “limited usage”: you get the chatbot, but you hit daily caps sooner, and some features, like making images and videos, sit behind paid plans. Image generation was restricted to paying users in early 2026 after the deepfake controversy.

What happened to SuperGrok?
Before October 2026, Grok was sold as SuperGrok ($30), SuperGrok Plus ($100) and SuperGrok Heavy ($300), with X Premium+ as another route. Those plans are no longer sold to new customers, but people who already have them keep them, and they still unlock features such as Grok Bot. Switching to The X Subscription is optional. If you see “SuperGrok” in older guides, the closest new match is Premium at $30.
Which plan makes sense?
- Occasional questions: the free tier is enough.
- Daily use, voice and images on a budget: Plus at $8 is the cheapest paid plan.
- You want the agent: Premium at $30 is the first tier with Grok Bot. Compare on Grok Bot pricing.
- Heavy coding or many Bots: Super or Ultra.
