Claude Pro vs SuperGrok
Claude Pro is for writing and daily focused blocks, when coding is not the main job; SuperGrok is for Grok users who want the CLI and can wait for it. SuperGrok costs $30/mo, 1.5x Claude Pro's $20/mo.
Our verdict
The Anthropic ladder. Every Claude plan is Claude Code on the same 5-hour rolling window, and a bigger rung buys a bigger allowance. The exception is Fable, which ships only on the Max tiers, so $20 buys Opus 5 and Sonnet 5 rather than the flagship. Our paired runs put the real 5x-to-20x gap nearer 5.7x than the advertised 4x.
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.

We have not measured Claude Pro on its own plan; its card below points at the closest graded evidence.
The plan people buy for Fable does not include Fable - it ships on the Max tiers only, so $20 buys Opus 5 and Sonnet 5. That changes the answer: on our hardest work Opus sits behind Codex's Sol, which costs the same $20 and burns a fraction of the window. What Claude Pro still wins on is rhythm - the 5-hour rolling window is back by lunch, not next Tuesday - and everything that is not coding.
Pros
- The 5-hour window refills the same day, not weekly
- The best writing and thinking assistant at $20
- Same window mechanics as the Max tiers
Cons
- No Fable: the model the ladder is famous for starts at $100
- Opus 5 trails Sol on our hardest real-world tasks
- You will meet the allowance, and the promotion propping up its value will end
Best for Writing and daily focused blocks, when coding is not the main job.
How far it goes: we have not measured this plan
The Max 20x scorecards are the closest evidence, minus Fable: that model is Max-only, so the best agent this plan can run is Opus 5.
The leaderboard lists every plan we do grade.
Grok 4.5 made this plan: fast answers on a window you could not empty. Grok 4.6 unmade it. It is now the slowest agent we measure, by a wide margin, and the long thinking has not bought capability worth the wait. The scorecard on this page is 4.6, so it measures what you would actually buy.
Pros
- A generous weekly window for $30
- Still fine on straightforward repair work
Cons
- 4.6 is the slowest agent we measure, by a distance
- The 4.5 that made this plan good is retired
Best for Grok users who want the CLI and can wait for it.
How far it goes: about 35 times a week
Our whole Real-world issues suite runs about 35 times a week on this plan.
That works out at about 19c of the subscription per run, at the list price.
Measured on this plan, at 2.8%/1w of its allowance per run. A share belongs to the plan it was measured on, so we never subtract one plan's from another's.
Verdicts and prices are the quiz's versioned editorial catalog, last reviewed 2026-08-20; usage figures come from our own published runs and stay a share of each plan's own allowance. Any other pair composes on the subscription comparison, and the quiz turns your answers into a recommendation.
