Grok vs Monica

AMO PIMI They also argued about these things on another page.

Grok and Monica are both Chatbots tools. Pricing, free tiers and language support compared below.

xAI

Has a free plan

The official site publishes no concrete usage figures at all for the free tier, and this site does not fill in an estimate. Verification trail (exhausted): grok.com/pricing returns HTTP 200 but the whole page is rendered by JavaScript, so the static HTML contains no plan names or price text, only Stripe price IDs; opening it in a real browser hits a Cloudflare human-verification wall, which we do not bypass; x.ai/grok returned 403 three times in a row (blocked, not 404). What can be confirmed: free use does exist and is US$0, because in the in-app purchase list on the official Apple App Store listing every paid item belongs to the SuperGrok range, so basic chat requires no payment. Third-party felloai.com states plainly that xAI has never published free-tier numbers anywhere, and says the free tier only gets the lighter Grok 4 Mini, includes basic real-time web and X search, has limited voice mode, and that image and video generation were removed from the free tier on 2026-03-19. The widely circulated figure of about 10 messages every 2 hours has no official backing and is not used here. (Verified 2026-08-09)
