LearnGrokThe most common early confusion about Grok Bot is not what it does. It is where you get it, because the answer is not x.ai.
It ships through Cursor
Grok Bot is distributed, billed and authenticated through Cursor. On the day this
page was written, every purchase route on the product page led to cursor.com,
the macOS installer was served from downloads.cursor.com, and there was no
x.ai-hosted download at all.
That has practical consequences beyond where you click:
- You sign in with a Cursor account, and single sign-on is Cursor's.
- Your privacy and data-training settings are the Cursor account's settings, not a Grok Bot control.
- On a team, the team's privacy mode governs and a member cannot loosen it.
- Enterprise access runs through Cursor, including the waitlist.
If you administer this for a company, the admin surface is the Cursor dashboard rather than anything on x.ai.
The setting that blocks it outright
Grok Bot requires cloud storage to work, so an account on the legacy privacy mode cannot start it at all. The failure appears at sign-in, and on a team the message names the mode directly. The fix is an account data-setting change, which, on a managed team, means asking an administrator rather than toggling it yourself.
Worth checking before you buy anything, not after.
Plans: as of 2026-08-20
Three subscriptions included Grok Bot when this page was written. Prices and plan names change; this table is a snapshot, and x.ai/bot is the current answer.
| Plan | Price at snapshot | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Cursor Ultra | $200 / month | Billed monthly |
| SuperGrok Heavy | $300 / month | Billed monthly |
| Cursor Premium Teams | $120 / seat / month | Billed monthly; adds team billing, SSO and shared usage analytics |
Two things the pricing page does not explain, which are worth knowing before you compare tiers: the team plan describes itself as including everything in the individual Ultra plan despite a lower headline price, and the SuperGrok Heavy card refers to a plainer "SuperGrok" tier that is not named or priced anywhere on that page.
How usage is metered: a subscription includes a weekly allowance, and work beyond it is billed on token cost. The size of that allowance and the overage rate were not stated. There is also no Grok Bot-specific spend cap yet, though account-level on-demand controls still apply, which is a real consideration before you point a scheduled routine at a long job.
Which platforms have a build
| Platform | Status at snapshot |
|---|---|
| macOS | The only download link on the page (an Apple silicon build) |
| Windows | Named in the product FAQ, but no download link was present |
| iOS | An app exists; the mobile page offers it directly |
| Android | Not offered for Grok Bot. The Android links point at the general Grok app |
| Web | Not mentioned anywhere |
Mobile is deliberately not at parity with desktop; notably, you cannot reset the cloud computer from a phone.
What to do first
- Check whether your account's privacy mode permits it, before paying.
- Install on a machine you will actually work at; the desktop app is where the full surface is.
- Read Connecting Bots to your tools safely before you connect your email. The access questions are much easier to answer before the first connection than after.
What changes
All of it. Availability, plan names, prices and platform builds are the fastest-moving facts on this site, which is why they are dated here and linked rather than woven into the prose. Check x.ai/bot.
