How to sign up for Grok Bot through Cursor or the usual way

Not sure which option costs less? Grok Bot through Cursor or separately compares the list prices and explains why a Cursor plan and SuperGrok do not add up.

Under The X Subscription, Grok Bot is included on the Premium, Super, and Ultra plans. These tiers give you a weekly shared allowance across Grok, Grok Bot, and Cursor. The Plus plan and the Free plan do not include Grok Bot. See Grok Bot on The X Subscription.

If you are on a legacy Cursor plan, Grok Bot is included on every paid individual plan (Pro, Pro+, Ultra) and on self-serve Cursor Teams. SuperGrok Lite does not include Grok Bot. The Grok Bot free trial is a usage credit with a 7-day window, and it never becomes a paid plan. Check current details at cursor.com/help/grok-bot/plans.

If you are a brand new customer starting from scratch, follow these steps to subscribe.

1. Go to x.ai/pricing and choose a plan. The page lists Free, Plus, Premium, Super, and Ultra; pick Premium, Super, or Ultra if you want Grok Bot. Prices are on that page and can change.
2. Proceed with the prompts to create your new account.
3. Complete checkout for the paid plan. Then install the app as shown below.

New teams without existing accounts can sign up at accounts.x.ai/sign-up. People who do not pay for any product yet can also subscribe in the Grok, X, Grok Bot, or Cursor mobile apps. Those purchases are billed through the App Store or Google Play.

If you already pay for a legacy Cursor plan (Pro, Pro+, Ultra, or self-serve Cursor Teams), you do not need a separate subscription. Your plan already includes Grok Bot. You can skip checkout entirely, install the app, and sign in with the same Cursor account.

If you already use Cursor and want The X Subscription, you switch and unify your accounts at cursor.com/unify. Switching is optional: if you do not switch, your current plan continues. The steps from the official unify guide:

1. Go to cursor.com/unify and click Get started, Team admins start at cursor.com/unify/team instead.
2. Select the accounts you want to add (Grok, X, or additional Cursor accounts) and click Start linking accounts. If you have none to add, click Skip, then Continue without adding accounts.
3. Sign in to and confirm any account you add.
4. Choose your plan under The X Subscription, review the details, and proceed to checkout. Pick Premium, Super, or Ultra, because Plus does not include Grok Bot.

Before you confirm your checkout, check your account details carefully. A completed unification is permanent and cannot be undone, even by Support. Check these points before paying:

• Account emails do not need to match, but you must sign in to the exact accounts you want to combine.
• If the wrong account appears, stop before checkout and contact Support.
• Old Cursor and Grok subscriptions on combined accounts are cancelled at checkout, and you receive an automatic prorated refund for unused time.
• If you pay for Cursor through the Apple App Store, cancel that subscription through Apple. After you unify, you manage plan and billing at grok.com/dashboard.

After your account is ready, install the desktop app. It runs on macOS (Apple silicon and Intel), Windows (x64 and Arm64), and Linux (x64 and Arm64). On a phone, install Grok Bot from the App Store or Google Play and sign in with the same account; access carries over without a second purchase. The iPhone app needs iOS 18 or later, and the Android app needs Android 9 or later.

1. Download Grok Bot from x.ai/bot and open it. On a team, the Grok Bot page of the Cursor dashboard has a Download Grok Bot row, or ask your admin for the link.
2. Choose Sign in on the welcome screen. The app will open your browser to finish the process.
3. Finish signing in with your account. There is no separate Grok Bot login: the docs say Grok Bot uses your Cursor account and the shared xAI sign-in path, so the page may show Grok or xAI branding. With company single sign-on, sign in the usual way and your Cursor SSO setup applies.
4. Grok Bot needs cloud data storage, so if your account is on Privacy Mode (Legacy), the app asks you to switch to Privacy Mode first. On a team, a team admin changes that setting.

After a short intro, the app sets up your first Bot, named Grok Bot, and opens a chat. If your access comes from SuperGrok or X Premium+, choose Link Grok Account on the Get Started with Grok Bot page at cursor.com/bot/onboarding. A link is permanent and cannot be moved to another Cursor account, so sign in with the right Cursor account first. With a seat on a self-serve Grok Business plan, choose Sign in with Grok in the browser and use the Grok account that holds the seat. More details are available in the official setup guide.

Signing in only authenticates you. It does not link accounts or switch your plan. Keep in mind that Grok, the chat app from xAI, and Grok Bot are two different apps. A paywall or weekly limit in the Grok app is not about Grok Bot.

If sign-in fails, try these fixes from the Grok Bot sign-in help and the xAI sign-in page in order before you contact Support.

• Update to the current app version, start the sign-in again from the app, and complete every browser prompt.
• Confirm you selected the intended account if you have more than one.
• Sign out and back in.
• Clear your browser cache and cookies for cursor.com and x.ai, then sign in again in a private window.

If the error persists, you will need help from the official team. Contact Support with your account email, the exact error, your platform, the app version, and a screenshot.

Once your account works, give your first Bot one small task the way you would ask a coworker: say what you want back, which sources to use, any limits, and when to check with you. When an action needs your OK, the Bot shows an approval card and waits. The official get started guide has starter tasks.

Roles work from the data, exports, and summaries you share in the chat to produce drafts and plans. They do not publish anything on their own, so you review and approve every step. If you want a ready-made marketing role, Get Started shows how to add an ExtraHeads template to your new account, and which marketing roles to add first helps you pick one.

No, ExtraHeads does not sell, resell, or provide Grok Bot access, accounts, or subscriptions. ExtraHeads is an independent storefront selling 22 ready-made AI marketing role templates for Grok Bot. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or associated with xAI or X.

The official pricing page states that subscriptions are sold only directly by X Subscription Corp, and it does not authorize resellers. Buy your plan only through the official paths above. ExtraHeads templates cost $19 USD per role or $99 USD for all 22 roles, paid as a one-time payment with no subscription.

Once you have a working account, you can buy a template from our roles page. Open the template link, select Add to Grok Bot, review the template, and confirm Add Bot to create your own copy. After that, you brief the role on your business and give it tasks.
