What to know before you cancel

X gives no refunds and no proration, so an annual Premium+ is $395 paid up front and a cancelled month runs to its end. Premium+ went from $16 to $22 to $40 in fourteen months, and existing subscribers were moved to the new price at their next renewal rather than kept on the old one. The web price is the cheap one: Apple and Google add their cut, so the same Premium costs $11 a month in the iOS app against $8 at x.com. Cancelling removes the checkmark and stops creator payouts at the end of the paid period. SuperGrok ($30 a month) is a separate xAI subscription; Premium+ only raises your Grok limits inside X.

Why did my X Premium+ bill jump to $40?

Premium+ rose from $22 to $40 a month on February 18, 2025, the day after Grok 3 launched, and X applied the new price to existing subscribers at their next renewal. It was the second increase in two months: the tier had gone from $16 to $22 on December 21, 2024. Basic ($3) and Premium ($8) did not change, so downgrading is the only way to pay less.

Does X Premium include Grok?

Yes, with limits. Premium includes Grok access inside X, and Premium+ gives the highest Grok limits available in the app, plus X Pro. SuperGrok is a separate $30-a-month subscription sold by xAI, so paying for Premium+ does not unlock it and cancelling X Premium does not stop a SuperGrok charge.
