    Grok — when it makes sense.

    Only if you actively use X and real-time trend access has real value for your business.

    Keep if

    You regularly monitor X/Twitter. You are already subscribed to X Premium (Grok included cheaper)

    Challenge if

    You don't use X daily. You need a generalist AI assistant — ChatGPT or Claude do better

    Main limitation

    Less performant than Claude or GPT-4 on classic office tasks

    Our take on Grok.

    Grok is the AI assistant developed by xAI, Elon Musk's company. Its main differentiator vs ChatGPT or Claude: real-time access to X (formerly Twitter) data, making it a powerful tool for news monitoring, trend analysis and research on recent topics.

    The free plan is limited (10 requests/2h). SuperGrok at $30/mo unlocks Grok 3 models, image generation and agents. Grok is also included in X Premium at $8/mo if you already actively use X.

    Use it if you want an AI assistant with a real-time view on current events. Skip it if you just need a generalist assistant — ChatGPT or Claude do better for most office tasks.
