What Grok Bot costs, and what an open-source alternative charges
The open-source CompanyOS
Grok Bot costs $30, $100 or $200 a month, and each of those prices is a seat on a usage pool shared with Grok and Cursor, on a computer every bot on the account shares. Kortix is the open-source CompanyOS, and it bills credits at 100 per dollar rather than seats.

Four ways to pay for a bot that does the work
Kortix bills credits, Grok Bot bills a subscription per person, and Rakazo bills the server you run it on.

Grok Bot columns state what xAI publishes: one persistent computer per account, and isolation per user. Rakazo carries no subscription because it runs on hardware you provide.
What $30 a month actually pays for
Nobody buys a bot from xAI. Grok Bot comes with a plan, and the plan is the price: Premium at $30 a month, Super at $100 and Ultra at $200, with the same line covering Teams and Enterprise. What a person buys is a seat, and the seat carries a weekly usage allowance.
That allowance is where the arithmetic stops being simple. xAI's pricing page says subscriptions include weekly usage, that more is billed at token cost, and that the pool is shared across Grok and Cursor within a plan. So the monthly bill has two parts. The fixed part is the tier price times the number of people, since each person subscribes separately. The open part is everything the team uses past the weekly allowance, and no tier caps it.
A single figure for "the Grok Bot price" hides that second half. The number that compares across vendors is cost per person per month at the headcount you actually have, and it needs the tier, the seat count and the overage rule in one place.
One computer per account, one approval per action
Every Grok Bot on an account shares one persistent cloud computer. xAI says so directly: the bots share that machine's files, browser and logins, so they can hand work off and keep context, and isolation is per user, not per Grok Bot. Two colleagues stay separated. Two bots belonging to one person do not.
Approvals behave like a gate, not like an undo. xAI's documentation says an approval controls the proposed action and does not reverse work already completed. A reviewer who catches the problem after the bot has sent the email is reading history.
The controls that sit on the enterprise tier
The features a regulated team asks about first are not in the self-serve plans. An organization-wide enable switch, network controls, action recording, enforced auto-review, audit logs, OpenTelemetry export, an MCP allowlist and SCIM are enterprise-only, and self-serve Teams do not see those settings. The cloud computer itself is encrypted in transit and at rest, with a training opt-out, and administrators can set DLP, certificates, proxies and network controls at boot.
A team pricing Grok Bot for compliance is pricing the Enterprise tier, and should get that number before comparing it with anything else.
What Kortix charges instead
Kortix bills credits, not seats. The paid plan runs from $50 to $50,000 a month at 100 credits per dollar, so $50 buys 5,000 credits and the rate never changes. On the Free plan a session needs a model you connect: your own provider key or a ChatGPT subscription. There is no per-person line to multiply, so a five-person team and a twenty-person team start from the same floor.
The work runs on infrastructure you choose. Kortix runs on Kortix Cloud, in your own VPC, or on your own on-prem network, with any model and your own keys. One isolated sandbox per session, each session with its own isolated machine and branch, so two agents working at once share no browser, file tree or login.
Credits are spent by sessions rather than assigned to people, so plan against a budget, not a per-head price. Kortix pricing lists what a credit buys and where the ceiling sits.
Choosing between a seat and a budget
If your team already pays for Grok and Cursor on one plan, the weekly pool is work you buy anyway, and a bot that signs in to your tools and returns finished work costs little at the margin. Take the tier your usage supports and watch the overage line.
If the bot has to run on hardware you control, keep a computer of its own, or think with a model you supply, a credit budget fits better than a seat. The self-hosted route covers that case, and Rakazo argues the same: open source and self-hosted, with shared team computers and isolated private ones, still in beta.
The rest of the field, compared on the work rather than the price, is on the alternatives page. The head-to-head is at Grok Bot vs Kortix.
What people ask about the price
Short answers, each one standing on its own.
Does Grok Bot cost anything?
Yes. Grok Bot is included with a paid plan rather than sold on its own: Premium is $30 a month, Super $100 and Ultra $200, and it also comes with Teams and Enterprise plans. The plan carries a weekly usage allowance shared with Grok and Cursor, and usage past that allowance is billed at token cost.
Do I have to pay for a grok bot?
You do not buy a bot separately. A Grok Bot comes with a Premium, Super, Ultra, Teams or Enterprise plan, so the subscription is the cost, at $30, $100 or $200 a month for the three personal tiers. xAI’s pages do not price a single bot on its own.
Why is the grok bot so expensive?
The price is a plan, not a bot. Premium at $30, Super at $100 and Ultra at $200 each include a weekly usage pool shared across Grok and Cursor, plus a persistent cloud computer that the bots work on, so part of the money goes to the machine and the allowance. A team pays that price for every person who needs a bot, which is where the total climbs.
Is the Grok bot worth it?
It depends on whether you already pay for the plan around it. A team using Grok and Cursor on the same subscription already buys the weekly pool, and a bot that signs in to your tools and returns finished work sits on top of that. A team that needs its own infrastructure, a computer per bot or its own model keys is better served by credits at 100 per dollar than by a seat per person.
Pay for the work, not for the headcount.
