ChatGPT Pro 5x vs SuperGrok Plus
ChatGPT Pro 5x is for heavy Codex users committed to the OpenAI stack; SuperGrok Plus is for people who want Grok plus live X search in one subscription. Both cost the same $100/mo.
Our verdict
The OpenAI ladder. Every paid ChatGPT rung runs the same Codex CLI and the same GPT 5.6 models; upgrading changes the weekly allowance and nothing else. Plus is already the lightest quota burn we measure, about 3% of its window per real-world run, so the upper rungs sell headroom most people never touch.
The xAI ladder. It splits at $30. Lite, below that, is chat only; from SuperGrok up every rung runs the same Grok CLI and model. xAI publishes no usage multiples, so we cannot say what a bigger rung buys beyond "more". The one feature only this ladder sells is live X search, and only SuperGrok Plus has it.

This tier answers a question almost nobody on Plus is asking. Codex burns about 3% of the weekly window per real-world run, so the extra allowance solves a limit most users never hit, and the agent underneath is the same either way.
Pros
- Five times the Plus allowance
- Codex stays the quickest agent we measure
Cons
- Solves a limit most Plus users never hit
- The agent does not improve with the price
Best for Heavy Codex users committed to the OpenAI stack.
How far it goes: we have not measured this plan
Same Codex CLI as ChatGPT Plus with a much bigger allowance - the Plus scorecards are the closest evidence.
The leaderboard lists every plan we do grade.
The one thing on this page you cannot buy anywhere else is X: live search over posts is part of the plan, and if your work runs on what people are saying right now, that alone can justify the $100. As a coding subscription it inherits Grok 4.6 and its speed problem.
Pros
- Live X search, which no other plan here has
- Higher limits than the $30 tier
- The same Grok CLI as the $30 tier
Cons
- xAI states no usage multiple, so the extra $70 is unquantified
- The coding agent is the slow 4.6
Best for People who want Grok plus live X search in one subscription.
How far it goes: we have not measured this plan
