Need a bunch of different products and services that are loosely connected under the umbrella of a space technology brand? We’ve got good news for you.
On Tuesday, SpaceXSI (that’s the new name, because “artificial intelligence” is out of fashion in the U.S. these days) announced a new subscription tier called The X Subscription, which combines access to X Premium, Grok, Grok Bot, and Cursor.

There’s a total of five plans. Free doesn’t cost anything but offers only limited chat and agent requests on Grok and Cursor, and limited X functionality. Plus costs $8 per month and unlocks several additional Grok and Cursor features, including Grok Chat, Voice, Imagine, and Build, as well as access to the Grok API. At the same time, on X, you get fewer ads and a Premium checkmark, among other perks. Premium costs $30 per month, and adds 4x more AI usage compared to Plus, access to Grok Bot and the latest Grok models, faster Chat responses, and a few Cursor features such as code hosting and AI code reviews and cloud agents and automations; on the X side, it comes with ad-free scrolling “on most surfaces,” a preferred @handle and a higher reply boost.

The $100-per-month Super tier is all that, plus 15x more usage than Plus and priority model access at peak times. Finally, Ultra gives you 50x more usage than Plus for $200 per month. Pricing for teams and enterprise is a little different; details are available over at x.ai/pricing.
SpaceXSI claims that “the X Subscription provides more usage-per-dollar of our own models than the comparable plan it replaces.” Key words there are “our own models,” as third-party model usage in Cursor is not included in the monthly subscription price and must be purchased separately. Cursor is a coding-specific AI agent that SpaceXSI acquired in June.
Other than that, this is a decent deal for folks who need both Grok and X Premium. For example, SuperGrok alone (a Grok tier comparable to the current Premium tier) used to cost $30 per month, while ad-free X Premium+ cost an additional $30 per month; now you get both for $30. The $30 per month is still a pretty big ask, given that Anthropic’s Claude Pro Plan, OpenAI’s ChatGPT Plus plan, and Google’s AI Pro (which includes Gemini alongside cloud storage, YouTube Premium Lite, and other perks) all cost $20 per month.
