Grok Bot cost calculator
A paid plan wins on price unless your whole self-hosted stack — VPS plus model API — stays under $20/mo. Cursor Pro at $20/mo and SuperGrok at $30/mo both include Grok Bot with its own usage pool; SuperGrok Heavy at $300/mo only makes sense for what else it bundles, never on Bot price alone. Move the sliders below with your own numbers. Last verified 2026-08-31.

Hours you expect an agent to be working for you. Converted at 52/12 = 4.33 weeks per month; it drives the $/hour column only.
Monthly server bill for running an open Grok Bot clone yourself.
Your monthly model-API spend. This varies wildly by model and usage — we publish no estimate here.
| Route | $/month | $/hour of work | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
Grok Bot included, own usage pool | $20 | $0.46 | cheapest |
Grok Bot included, own usage pool | $30 | $0.69 | — |
Top consumer tier; included Bot access from launch | $300 | $6.92 | — |
Self-host an open clone VPS $10 + model API $60 — your numbers | $70 | $1.62 | — |
At 10 h/wk the $/hour column divides a flat monthly price by 43.3 hours/month. Plan prices do not change with hours: the weekly Grok Bot usage allowance on each plan is not published, so this calculator cannot model overflow into on-demand billing.
Assumptions
- Cursor Pro $20/mo as of 2026-08-31Bot usage does not count against the Pro plan's existing Cursor/IDE usage or its $20 Other Models credit.source
- SuperGrok $30/mo as of 2026-08-31Weekly Grok Bot usage allowance is not publicly published; overflow can spill into shared on-demand billing.source
- SuperGrok Heavy $300/mo as of 2026-08-31Highest published usage tier; can link to Cursor Ultra without usage stacking, per Cursor help docs.source
- Self-host an open clone — no published price exists. Self-host API cost varies wildly by model — these are your numbers, not ours. The VPS and model-API sliders are inputs you supply; nothing here is a vendor quote, and we publish no estimate of what a clone costs to run.
- Usage pools — SuperGrok and Cursor Pro each include Grok Bot with its own usage pool, separate from existing plan usage. The size of that weekly allowance is not published by either vendor, so overflow into on-demand billing is not modelled and is not included in any figure above.
- Hours — a month is 52/12 = 4.33 weeks. Hours affect the $/hour column only; every monthly plan price above is flat.
- Not included — taxes, annual-billing discounts, per-seat team pricing, and any Cursor plan credits beyond the separate Grok Bot pool.
- 2026-08-26 Floor drops to $30/mo SuperGrok or $20/mo Cursor Pro source
