TechCrunch: SpaceXSI bundles X Premium, Grok and Cursor into one subscription
The new X Subscription combines X's paid features with AI tools like Grok and Cursor, offering plans ranging from $8 to $200 per month.
SpaceX Super Intelligence has bundled its subscription offerings, including X Premium, Grok, and Cursor, into a single plan called "The X Subscription" to attract more subscribers in the competitive paid AI subscription market. The bundle includes AI-powered chat with voice, image, and video support, an agentic AI bot, AI coding tools, and X Premium features like verified checkmarks and creator tools, available across five pricing tiers ranging from free to $200 per month with varying AI usage limits. The company positioned this strategy as a way to potentially attract more subscribers than any single subscription could, particularly as it faces competition from other AI providers. Existing X Premium+ subscribers can switch to a comparable plan on the new bundle at the same or lower cost.
