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)

What you get
Pro
US$20 / mo
Annual payment of US$200 (approximately US$16.67-17/month); as of 2026-07-26, the official website confirmed a promotion of +US$40 free Computer quota through direct reading of agency information, with no specified end date.
Max
US$200 / mo
Annual payment of US$2,000 (approximately US$167/month, only available for web version); as of 2026-08-08, after re-checking perplexity.ai/pro twice without cache (x-no-cache), it is confirmed that the promotional banner displays "+US$450 free Computer credits" (LIMITED TIME) and the plan includes "35,000 bonus credits", both are listed simultaneously and not mutually exclusive. Previously, it was incorrectly recorded that they were the same number and the US$450 was excluded, this has been corrected; the deadline is not stated on the official website.
Education Pro
US$10 / mo
Limited to verified student identities, no expiration date indicated; from third-party sources, not directly confirmed on the official website
Enterprise Pro
US$40 / user / mo（5 user ≈ US$200/mo）
per seat, from third-party sources, not directly confirmed on the official website; educational/non-profit organizations have a discounted price of around US$30/seat/month (no expiration date specified, also from third-party sources)
Enterprise Max
US$325 / user / mo（5 user ≈ US$1625/mo）
per seat (annual payment of US$3,250); as evidenced by an official Help Center article, direct fetch still encounters a 403 error
