What Grok Bot, Cloud Agent, and Hermes Plans Actually Include (A Dated Field Note)

Plans, pricing, and eligibility for Grok Bot and Cloud Agent products move fast — fast enough that a number correct when this was written may already be wrong when you read it. This is a method for checking, not a permanent price list.

What we can say with a source, as of this writing

Fact	Source	Confidence
Grok Bot access bundles into Cursor (Pro, Pro+, Ultra), SuperGrok (Plus, Heavy), and Cursor Teams (Standard, Premium) — no standalone plan	x.ai/bot official page	High, but exact prices weren't published as plain text at time of writing — check the live pricing selector
Grok Bot usage: "subscriptions come with weekly usage included, with additional usage billed based on token cost"	x.ai/bot official FAQ	High
Hermes Agent: Free tier ($0, free models only), Plus ($20/mo), Super ($100/mo), Ultra ($200/mo), each with monthly credits and 200+ models	Nous Research's official Hermes pricing page	High
Cursor Cloud Agents are billed at API pricing for the selected model, with a required spend limit	Cursor's official Cloud Agent docs	High
Grok Bot enterprise availability: "Soon... join our waitlist"	x.ai/bot official FAQ	High at time of writing — status will change

How to read an official plan page instead of trusting a screenshot

• Go to the source, not a repost. Pricing screenshots circulating on social platforms are frequently outdated by the time they're shared — check x.ai, Cursor, and Nous Research's own pages directly.
• Note the date you checked. If you're documenting a decision for a team, write down when you verified a number, not just the number itself.
• Distinguish "included" from "unlimited." Every plan referenced above ties usage to credits or token cost past a threshold — "included" almost never means unlimited in this category.

What we will not guess

• Regional availability differences
• Exact current dollar figures where a page requires interactive selection rather than static text
• Whether any given plan's terms will still be current when you read this

If a number matters enough to budget around, verify it the same day you act on it — this category changes fast enough that "checked last month" is not the same as "checked."

A burn checklist for usage-metered agents

• Set a spend limit before your first real run — Cursor requires this for Cloud Agents, and it's good practice regardless of platform.
• Watch the first few runs closely enough to know your actual token cost per job, not just the advertised "included" amount.
• Kill a runaway job the moment it's clearly not converging — usage-metered agents make it easy to lose track of cost mid-run.

Frequently asked questions

Is Grok Bot cheaper than Hermes Agent?

It depends on what you already pay for. Grok Bot has no standalone plan — you need an existing Cursor or SuperGrok subscription. Hermes Agent has a genuine $0 free tier before paid credits start at $20/month. Compare against what you're already paying, not the headline number alone.

How often do AI agent plans change?

Frequently enough that any specific price in this piece should be treated as a dated snapshot. Re-check official pages before budgeting or committing a team to a plan.

What should I do before running my first metered AI agent job?

Set a spend limit, watch the first few runs to learn your real per-job cost, and be ready to kill a job that isn't converging.

This is a field note with an expiry, not a permanent guide — re-verify every number against x.ai, Cursor's docs, and Nous Research's Hermes page before acting on it.
