Quick Facts

  • SpaceXSI launched The X Subscription on Oct. 12, 2026, unifying X Premium, Grok, and Cursor billing into five tiers ranging from free to $200 per month.
  • Paid tiers share one pool of Grok model usage across all three products, with third-party models in Cursor billed separately.
  • Existing Cursor, SuperGrok, and X Premium subscribers can stay on current plans or switch to the new bundle through account billing settings.

SpaceX Super Intelligence announced a unified subscription plan on Oct. 12, 2026, combining X Premium, Grok, and Cursor into a single offering called The X Subscription. The company posted the announcement on X at 22:48 UTC, stating it had unified plans across all three products.

Five tiers are available: Free, Plus at $8 per month, Premium at $30 per month, Super at $100 per month, and Ultra at $200 per month. AI usage caps increase at each tier. Team seats are priced per seat at the same rates as Premium, Super, or Ultra.

What Each Tier Covers

The free plan includes daily Grok access and a starter allowance for Cursor coding agents. The Plus tier adds Grok Chat, Voice, Imagine, Build, and API access, along with selected X Premium features and Cursor coding tools. Premium expands AI usage to four times the Plus allowance and includes Grok Bot, newer Grok models, and additional Cursor tools such as code hosting and cloud agents.

The Super tier adds priority access to Grok models during peak times, on top of all Plus and Premium benefits. Access to the latest Grok models requires Premium or higher. Grok Bot now starts at the $30 Premium tier; the $20 Cursor Pro path that had been the cheapest route in since Aug. 26 is closed to new sign-ups.

Shared Usage Pool Is the Key Tradeoff

All paid tiers draw from one shared pool of Grok model usage across the Grok apps, the Grok tab on X, and Cursor. Unused allowance from one product carries over to the other. Top-ups are available when the pool runs out.

Third-party models inside Cursor are billed separately and do not count against the shared allowance. Early users flagged the arrangement as a potential drawback: Grok, Imagine, Voice, Bot, and Cursor all share one weekly usage limit, which could constrain heavy users who rely on multiple products simultaneously.

Migration Path for Existing Subscribers

Existing X Premium Plus subscribers can switch to a comparable X Subscription plan at the same price or lower. SpaceXSI is not forcing an immediate migration. Current Cursor, SuperGrok, and X Premium plans remain active unless subscribers choose to change or cancel them.

Switching options appear in account billing settings. The company said availability is expanding globally over several days.

Corporate Background

The bundle follows a series of rapid structural changes at the company. In February 2026, SpaceX acquired xAI at a valuation of $250 billion, later rebranding it as SpaceXAI. That August, SpaceX acquired Cursor at a reported valuation of $60 billion. On Oct. 10, Elon Musk posted a screenshot showing the company's account had been renamed to SpaceX Super Intelligence, following a Sept. 29 executive order directing federal agencies to use the term super intelligence in place of artificial intelligence.

SpaceXAI reported revenue of $3.2 billion in 2025, with an operating loss of $6.4 billion. SpaceX went public in June 2026 at a valuation of roughly $1.75 trillion.

Competitive Stakes

The technical foundation for the bundle was built on the Grok and Cursor partnership. Grok 4.5 was the first model developed from that collaboration, combining Cursor's real-world developer behavior data with xAI's compute infrastructure. SpaceXSI's Colossus supercomputer in Memphis, Tennessee, delivers computing performance equivalent to roughly 1 million Nvidia H100 chips.

By collapsing the billing and usage layer across a social platform, a foundational model, and a coding tool, SpaceXSI is directly challenging subscription models from OpenAI and Anthropic, as well as Microsoft's GitHub Copilot, which holds the dominant position in AI-assisted development. Bundling model access with the IDE layer removes a structural advantage Microsoft has held in the developer market.
