Cursor Pro vs SuperGrok
Cursor Pro is our pick of the standard band. SuperGrok costs $30/mo, 1.5x Cursor Pro's $20/mo.
Our verdict
The Cursor ladder. Both Cursor plans are the same agent in the same IDE with the same Composer model, metered monthly. Hobby is a taste of the request budget; Pro is the real one.
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.
Cursor Pro is our pick of the standard band.
Cursor Pro is for working in the IDE, and trying cheap attempts you can discard; SuperGrok is for Grok users who want the CLI and can wait for it.
SuperGrok costs $30/mo, 1.5x Cursor Pro's $20/mo.
Our whole suite fits about 55 times a month on Cursor Pro and about 35 times a week on SuperGrok. Each figure is a share of its own plan's allowance.
You are buying the plan, not the model. Composer 2.5 cannot carry hard work on its own, but Cursor meters monthly, the agent lives in your editor, and attempts are cheap enough to throw away. Plan with something strong, let Composer do the typing.
Pros
- The agent lives in the IDE, not a terminal
- Monthly metering: one heavy day cannot lock you out
- Attempts cheap enough to discard
Cons
- Composer 2.5 is a weak model on its own
- You still need a stronger model to plan with
Best for Working in the IDE, and trying cheap attempts you can discard.
How far it goes: about 55 times a month
Our whole Real-world issues suite runs about 55 times a month on this plan.

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.
