What

The xAI Grok OAuth docs say "SuperGrok Subscription" everywhere, but xAI's own announcement states access is "available on every tier" — meaning X Premium ($8/mo), X Premium+ ($40/mo), and SuperGrok ($30/mo) all qualify.

Why

Users with X Premium who land on this page may think they need to upgrade to SuperGrok ($30/mo) when their existing $8/mo subscription already works.

Sources

  • xAI announcement: "Connecting Grok to your Hermes agent is available on every tier."
  • May 16, 2026 update: X Premium explicitly added as supported tier

Changes

  • Title/description: "SuperGrok Subscription" → "Grok Subscription"
  • Added :::info box listing all three qualifying tiers with prices
  • Updated prerequisites and subscription table row
  • Generalized narrative "SuperGrok" references to "Grok"
  • Kept UI string references (hermes model picker labels) as-is since they reflect the actual display name in the code
  • Updated 403 troubleshooting to say "specific subscription tiers" instead of "specific SuperGrok tiers"

xAI's announcement states OAuth access is 'available on every tier.'
The docs previously said 'SuperGrok Subscription' everywhere, which
misleads X Premium ($8/mo) and Premium+ ($40/mo) users into thinking
they need the $30/mo SuperGrok plan.
