SpaceXSI bundles Grok, Cursor and X Premium into one plan from $8 a month

What SpaceXSI announced

SpaceX Super Intelligence, the company that now runs Grok, X and Cursor and brands itself SpaceXSI, introduced The X Subscription on 12 October 2026. In its announcement the company says the plan "brings together Grok, Grok Bot, Cursor, and X Premium in one plan" and that it would make it available to everyone globally over the following days. New customers can sign up now; existing subscribers get an optional switch as it rolls out to their accounts.

The pitch is price. SpaceXSI says The X Subscription gives you Grok, Cursor and X "for roughly what a comparable standalone plan for one of those products used to cost," and that the $30 Premium tier carries "the benefits of SuperGrok, Cursor Pro, and X Premium+, previously $90/month combined." Those are the company's own comparisons. TechCrunch, which covered the launch on 13 October, framed it as a bid to attract more subscribers in a paid AI market where SpaceXSI competes with OpenAI and Anthropic.

The bundle matters beyond its price tags because of what it joins. Grok is a chat assistant with voice, image and video generation. Grok Bot, in the announcement's words, "gives you AI teammates that get work done." Cursor is an AI code editor with local and cloud coding agents. X Premium is a social network subscription. Until now each had its own plan and its own bill.

The five plans and what each includes

There are five tiers. According to the pricing documentation, Free costs nothing and has limited usage, Plus is $8 a month ($80 a year), Premium is $30 a month ($300 a year), Super is $100 a month ($1,000 a year) and Ultra is $200 a month ($2,000 a year). Prices exclude tax.

Usage scales with the tier. The pricing page lists Plus as the base allowance, Premium at four times Plus, Super at 15 times and Ultra at 50 times. Free includes daily Grok access, a starter allowance for Cursor's agents and standard X. Plus adds Grok Chat, Voice, Imagine and Build, Grok API access, Cursor, and a checkmark, creator tools and fewer ads on X. Cursor's own pricing page adds a footnote for Plus: only Grok models are available on that plan.

Premium is where most of the AI features land. It adds Grok Bot, the latest Grok models, faster chat responses, image and video generation, code hosting and AI code reviews, and Cursor's cloud agents and automations, plus ad-free scrolling on most X surfaces. Super adds priority model access at peak times, and Ultra adds the earliest access to new products and models. SpaceXSI recommends Premium for new AI users, Super for daily agent users and Ultra for power users, and suggests Plus for social creators who use little AI.

On the X side, the X Premium guide says Free keeps standard X, Plus gets a checkmark, creator tools and fewer ads, and Premium and above get full X Premium+ benefits. Those benefits only apply once you connect a personal X account; accounts managed by an organisation cannot be connected.

How the shared weekly usage pool works

The central design choice is one allowance instead of separate quotas. The usage limits page says each paid seat gets a weekly pool for eligible first-party usage that is "shared across eligible Grok and Cursor surfaces for that seat rather than split into separate product quotas." Grok chat, image generation, voice, Grok Bot and Grok models used inside Cursor all draw from the same pool, at different rates per product.

The pool refreshes weekly. SpaceXSI's pricing FAQ says this is so "one heavy day never wipes out your whole month." When a seat runs out, it can wait for the reset or buy top-ups, which pay for what the company calls Additional Usage. Grok Bot does not get its own allowance; the pricing documentation says Bot usage draws from the seat's shared weekly pool, "not a separate additive pool."

The Grok API is a separate line. Paid plans include API access, but API calls are billed at standard model rates and do not draw from the plan's pool. Anyone building on the API, for example with the Grok Voice 3.0 speech-to-speech model SpaceXSI opened this week, still pays per token.

The spending caps page lists four controls: the weekly pool, a prepaid balance, a monthly cap on Additional Usage and optional Auto Top-up, which is off unless you turn it on. Two details are worth knowing. Spend alerts warn but do not stop usage; only the monthly cap is a hard stop. And adding money does not raise the cap, so a team can have credit left and still be blocked.

Third-party models in Cursor cost extra

The included pool covers SpaceXSI's own models only. The overview says third-party models in Cursor, "like Claude or GPT, aren't included in your plan." You can still pick them in Cursor on Premium and above, but they are billed at API list prices from the first request and paid from prepaid credit.

Teams pay a little more on top. The Cursor Token Rate page says teams on The X Subscription pay $0.25 per million tokens on third-party model requests, on top of the model's API price. First-party models, including Grok and Cursor's own Composer, are exempt, and individual plans do not pay the rate.

For anyone who mainly codes with Claude or GPT models, that changes the maths. The subscription price buys a large allowance of Grok and Composer usage, while outside models become a metered cost that depends on token volume. Our guide to calculating AI API costs covers what to include in that estimate, and services such as Together Link show how many coding agents now mix providers rather than staying with one.

What happens if you switch

Nobody has to move. SpaceXSI says existing SuperGrok, Cursor and X Premium plans continue at their current price and features unless the customer changes or cancels them, and existing Cursor customers can still move between their current Cursor plans without switching, except plans billed through Apple's App Store.

Switching is a one-way door. The overview says eligible Cursor and Grok accounts are combined under one subscription, workspace and bill, and that "the switch is permanent. It can't be undone, and Support can't undo it for you." People with more than one Cursor account pick a primary one and the others are merged into it.

Old plans are cancelled at checkout with a prorated refund for unused time. The refund goes back to the original payment method separately, so the new plan is charged in full first. There is one trap: if you pay for Cursor through the Apple App Store, switching does not cancel that subscription, and SpaceXSI cannot refund it. You have to cancel it in your iPhone or iPad settings, or Apple keeps billing you. Paying users start the switch at cursor.com/unify if they have a paid Cursor plan, or accounts.x.ai/unify from Grok or X.

Team and enterprise plans

Team plans come in Premium ($30 per seat), Super ($100) and Ultra ($200), and members of the same team can mix tiers. Each seat has its own weekly pool; seats do not share allowances, though the team shares one prepaid balance for Additional Usage. Plus is not available for teams. Each member gets X benefits by connecting their own personal X account.

SpaceXSI says the team prices are lower per seat than older Cursor Teams plans and include three times more coding usage, along with SSO, admin controls, consolidated billing, usage analytics and SOC 2 compliance. Enterprise customers can manage Grok and Cursor from one dashboard with a single usage pool. For now, only Cursor Enterprise customers without an active Grok account can switch, with help from their account team.

What it means for Cursor and Grok users

For someone who already pays for X Premium+ and a Grok plan, the bundle is a simple win on SpaceXSI's numbers: Premium at $30 a month replaces subscriptions the company says used to cost $90 together, and adds Cursor. The company also says each plan includes at least twice as much coding usage with its models as the comparable Cursor plan.

For a developer who uses Cursor mainly with Anthropic or OpenAI models, the decision is less obvious. The subscription steers usage towards Grok and Composer, which are covered, while outside models are billed by the token. Staying on an existing Cursor plan is allowed, and because switching cannot be reversed, it is worth checking recent token usage first. Consumer AI plans are being reshaped across the industry; Google, for example, moved free Gemini Apps users to Flash-Lite earlier this month.

There is also a security note in the FAQ. SpaceXSI says subscriptions are sold only directly through X Subscription Corp, that it authorises no resellers, and that accounts bought elsewhere may be suspended.

What is still unclear

SpaceXSI does not publish the size of the weekly pool in tokens or requests. The plans are described in multiples of Plus (4x, 15x, 50x), and each product draws from the pool at its own rate, so the only way to see what a week buys is the live usage view after signing up.

The company has not published how many people have switched, and its claim of more usage per dollar than the plans being replaced has not been independently measured. The rollout to existing subscribers is gradual, so some accounts may not see the switch option yet. We will update this article if SpaceXSI publishes concrete pool sizes or changes the third-party model pricing.
