Link your X account so Grok picks up the right subscription
Link your X account so Grok picks up the right subscription
xAI and X are separate logins. If you pay for X Premium or Premium+, Grok only sees that benefit after the X account is linked to your xAI account.
Link on the web
- Sign in at grok.com with the xAI account you actually use.
- Open Settings → Account.
- Click Connect your X Account.
- Finish X's sign-in page. xAI can then read the X subscription status and apply the matching benefits.
Manage sign-in methods any time at accounts.x.ai.
Fix the “I paid but Grok says upgrade” loop
- Confirm the same login everywhere (web, iOS, Android). A different Google, Apple, or X identity is a different account.
- If you subscribed with Apple Hide My Email, keep signing in with Apple, not the relay address through Google.
- Restart the app, or log out and back in, after you link. Clear cache or reinstall if the upgrade prompt sticks on an active plan.
X Premium refunds and billing disputes go through X, not xAI support.
Pitfalls
- Linking X as a sign-in method is not the same as buying SuperGrok on grok.com. Those are separate products with separate billing pages.
- Compromised accounts: support can cancel a subscription or delete the account so you can start over. Contact them with your user ID as soon as you notice an email change you did not make.
