Grok's free tier is real but unstable with changing caps
heypearlai · x · 2026-08-20
Grok's free tier is accessible without a credit card via web or X, but users should treat it as a bonus rather than a fixed plan. xAI does not publish a static usage limit and has adjusted the cap structure multiple times this year, meaning any specific quoted numbers are likely outdated.
