- 2
Check current usage
Review the usage information available in the target account, including the reset period and which products consume the shared allowance.
- 3
Confirm a real limit
Compare a higher product when you repeatedly hit a limit, rather than buying the highest tier for an uncertain future need.

Record the purchase channel
Web, Apple App Store, Google Play and X can have different subscription management and refund paths.
Frequently asked questions
Are the new Grok tiers the same as legacy SuperGrok and Heavy?
No. The X Subscription uses Plus, Premium, Super and Ultra paid tiers. Legacy SuperGrok and SuperGrok Heavy may continue, and migration is optional. They are not one-to-one renamings. Confirm the subscription, linked account and purchase channel before ordering.
Sources[1][3]Does a higher plan permanently guarantee every new model?
No. Model names, features, quotas and availability can change. Verify the current official product screen on the target account before purchasing.
Sources[1][2]Does a consumer Grok subscription include xAI API usage?
New paid X Subscription plans include Grok API access, but API calls are billed separately at standard model rates and do not draw from the subscription pool. Access does not mean free usage or include GuideWhale's third-party API relay service.
