**Grok Bot remains unavailable on the free tier of The X Subscription as of mid-October 2026.** xAI introduced the bundled subscription on October 12, combining Grok, Grok Bot, Cursor, and X Premium features into tiers starting at Free ($0, limited daily chat, Imagine, voice, and Build), Plus ($8), and Premium ($30+ for Grok Bot access). Multiple official descriptions and recent analyses confirm Grok Bot—autonomous AI agents capable of multi-step tasks like tool use, research, and app interactions—requires paid plans for its cloud compute and advanced capabilities, with no free allowance. This structure reflects xAI’s strategy to monetize high-value agentic features while offering basic large language model access at no cost, consistent with competitive positioning against other AI platforms that gate similar tools behind subscriptions. No regulatory or product announcements indicate near-term changes to this tiering.
