THE SIMPLE VERSION
What is Grok?
Grok is SpaceXAI's conversational assistant. It answers questions, writes and edits text, works with code, understands uploaded media and creates images or video. Its distinctive feature is live search across the web and public X posts, which can make it useful for a story or discussion that is developing today.
✓ A good fit if you want to…
- Want current web and X information
- Want to see what people are saying on X
- Want chat, images, video and code in one place
– Choose another tool if you…
- Need every cited claim checked for you
- Prefer a calmer writing-first assistant
- Are setting up a first AI for a child

PLANS
Free or paid?
Real-time web and X search, voice, connectors and other core features within changing limits.
Best for trying Grok and lighter everyday use.A separate Grok subscription with higher limits and fuller feature access. Local pricing appears in your account.
Best for people who use Grok most days.An X subscription with increased Grok limits, reduced ads and other X features. This is not a SuperGrok purchase.
Best when you already want X Premium as well as higher Grok limits.Higher Grok limits than Premium plus an almost ad-free X experience and other X features.
Expensive for beginners; only consider it when the wider X package matters.✓Free is enough if…you ask occasional questions, follow current events or want to test search, voice and media features.
+Consider paid if…you regularly hit free limits. SuperGrok and X Premium are different purchases, so decide which product you actually need before paying.
*X web prices checked 27 August 2026. Dollar prices are US starting prices; euro prices shown are for the Netherlands. Taxes, payment fees, app-store prices and local availability can differ. SuperGrok displays local prices after sign-in, so no fixed amount is published here.
GOOD TO KNOW
Safety and privacy
Check important facts
Live search can still repeat misleading reporting, opinion or speculation.
Keep sensitive data private
Do not upload passwords, ID documents or confidential files.
Turn off training if you want to
Disable Improve the Model or use Private Chat, which stays out of training and is removed within 30 days subject to stated exceptions.
Not a first AI for children
It is not for under-13s. Teenagers need permission, and some settings or prompts can produce adult or violent content.
