SpaceXSI bundles X Premium, Grok and Cursor in one subscription
By Automate Basics, written with AI from TechCrunch's original
SpaceX Super Intelligence has introduced The X Subscription, a bundle of Grok, Cursor and X Premium features. TechCrunch reports that it offers plans from free to $200 a month, with higher plans allowing more AI use.
What changed
SpaceX Super Intelligence has combined X Premium, Grok and Cursor under one offering called The X Subscription, TechCrunch reports. Rather than paying for each service separately, subscribers can choose a bundle that includes paid X features alongside AI tools.
Grok provides AI chat with voice, image and video support, as well as API access and an AI agent. Cursor is included for coding work. The X features include creator tools, a verified checkmark and fewer ads. TechCrunch says the amount of AI use allowed depends on the plan. The announcement is about how access is packaged, not a report of new capabilities in any of the individual tools.
Who can use The X Subscription, and what does it cost?
The X Subscription has a free plan and four paid plans, according to TechCrunch: Plus at $8 a month, Premium at $30 a month, Super at $100 a month and Ultra at $200 a month. The free plan allows limited chat and agent use. Access to the latest Grok models requires Premium or a higher plan, and AI usage limits rise across the paid tiers.
For someone who already pays for X features and also uses AI chat or coding tools, the bundle may be worth comparing with their current subscriptions. SpaceX Super Intelligence says an existing X Premium+ subscriber can move to a comparable bundle plan for the same price or less. TechCrunch does not specify every feature or usage limit for each tier.
How do I try The X Subscription at work?
A useful first check is whether the bundle covers tools your team already uses. A social media worker could compare its X creator features with a typical posting task, while someone who writes code could assess whether the included Cursor access suits their work. For Grok, try a routine chat task and check the answer against the material you supplied before relying on it.
TechCrunch says existing subscribers can look for an upgrade offer in their subscription or billing settings on X, or keep their current plan. The upgrade option is rolling out gradually, so it may not appear immediately. Before switching, check the plan’s AI limits and the features you need rather than assuming every tier includes the same access.
Frequently asked questions
Does the free X Subscription include Grok?
Yes. TechCrunch reports that the free plan includes limited chat and AI agent use. It does not include access to the latest Grok models, which requires Premium or a higher plan. The report does not give a detailed usage allowance for the free tier.
Do existing X subscribers have to switch plans?
No. TechCrunch says existing subscribers can keep their current plan or choose to upgrade to The X Subscription. The upgrade offer is appearing gradually in X subscription or billing settings, so subscribers may need to wait before they can see it.
Is Cursor included in The X Subscription?
TechCrunch lists Cursor, an AI coding tool, among the services in The X Subscription. The report does not spell out Cursor access or limits for each tier. Anyone choosing a plan for coding work should check those details before replacing an existing subscription.
