Grok Bot Has No Free Tier

Grok Bot is xAI’s always-on agent for completing multi-step work across apps, but free Grok access does not include it. Current access starts with the $30/month Premium plan and scales to $100 Super or $200 Ultra. [xAI pricing](https://x.ai/pricing)

// ANALYSIS

The paywall is a deliberate positioning choice: Grok Bot is sold as an AI teammate, not a casual chatbot, but the lack of a meaningful free trial makes it difficult for developers to evaluate.

–Free Grok and Grok Bot are separate products; free chatbot access does not unlock the agent.
–Bots operate on persistent cloud computers, sign into tools, retain context, and run scheduled workflows. [Grok Bot](https://x.ai/bot)
–Usage is pooled weekly across Grok, Grok Bot, and Cursor on current X Subscription plans.
–A $30 entry price is competitive for users already paying for AI tools, but expensive for experimentation.
–The model favors committed power users and businesses over broad developer adoption.

Vercel Flags SDK Speeds Cold Starts 7x

The `@flags-sdk/vercel` adapter now loads bundled flag data immediately and avoids a network check during initialization, reducing p75 cold-start time from over 70 ms to 10 ms in internal tests. Version 1.5.3 also routes usage events through the Vercel runtime so reporting no longer extends function duration.
