Grok

Editorial Review

Grok is xAI's flagship AI chatbot that distinguishes itself through deep integration with X (formerly Twitter) and a less restricted conversational personality. Its real-time search capabilities across both the web and X posts make it particularly strong for current events research, social media analysis, and trend monitoring. The free tier offers access to Grok 4 with limited usage. The SuperGrok plan at $30/month unlocks the platform's most compelling features: DeepSearch for complex multi-step research, high-quality image generation, and an industry-leading 2M token context window. For teams, Grok Business at $30/seat/month adds data privacy protections critical for professional use. The SuperGrok Heavy tier at $300/month provides access to the most powerful Grok 4 Heavy model. Grok's main competitive advantage is its X integration, providing unique access to real-time social discourse. However, the pricing structure can be confusing with six different tiers, and free tier users face significant rate limits of roughly 10 prompts per two hours. Privacy-conscious users should note that non-Business plans may use interactions for model training.
