Grok review

Grok makes most sense for people who already spend time on X. The Free plan offers limited chat requests, and Plus at $8 per month opens Grok Chat, Voice, Imagine and Build, Grok API access and Cursor, along with X perks such as a Premium checkmark and fewer timeline ads. That is a lot for $8, but the AI features draw on one shared usage pool. Premium at $30 per month gives four times the usage of Plus, the latest Grok models, faster chat responses and image and video creation, and is the tier xAI labels most popular. Super at $100 and Ultra at $200 are for heavy users. For writing, research and analysis at work, Grok's documented features are thinner than those of ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini, and much of the plan page is about X features. Buy it for the bundle, not as a first assistant for office work.

Who it is for

Heavy X users who want an assistant and X Premium perks from one subscription.
