Similar to other chatbots like ChatGPT and Claude, free users of Grok will have restrictions on how many times they can use the tool in a day.
X’s AI chatbot Grok is now available to all X users, not just paying Premium subscribers to Elon Musk’s social network.
There are still plenty of limitations, however. Free users in the US can only analyze 10 messages every 2 hours, including images, and can only analyze up to three images per day according to users on X. You’ll need to put down $8 a month, or $84 a year, for X Premium if you want to use Grok any more than this. Or if you’re really keen, $16 a month or $168 a year, for Premium Plus.
The move was first spotted by The Verge, quoting X users all over the world who noticed the change. Though not officially confirmed by X, many users on the platform report that usage limits and functionality seem to differ depending on what country you are logging in from, meaning the above numbers may only be valid for users in the US.
