Subscribe from the Android app
The Grok Bot Android app supports subscribing to a paid plan as an in-app purchase handled by Google Play. Here's how it works and how it differs from subscribing on the web.
Which plans can I buy in the app?
If you don't already have a plan billed through cursor.com, you can subscribe to a monthly legacy Pro, Pro+, or Ultra plan from the app. If you already subscribed in the app, you can upgrade your plan there too. If you're on a plan billed through cursor.com, manage it on cursor.com instead. The Android app doesn't sell The X Subscription tiers; to move to one, see How do I switch to The X Subscription?.
Only monthly individual plans are available in the app. For yearly billing, Teams, or Enterprise plans, subscribe on cursor.com.
How do I manage an in-app subscription?
Google is the merchant of record for Google Play in-app purchases, so Google handles all subscription management.
- To view, change, or cancel your plan, see Google's guide to managing subscriptions on Google Play.
- For refunds, invoices, and receipts, use Google Play's refund support.
Because Google processes the payment, Cursor can't cancel an in-app plan or issue a refund for you on request. Any billing question on an in-app subscription goes through Google Play. The exception is switching to The X Subscription, which cancels the in-app plan and refunds unused time as part of the switch.
Can I use on-demand spend on an in-app plan?
Yes. Google Play bills your subscription, and on-demand usage is billed separately to a payment card you add on the web. In a browser, go to cursor.com/dashboard, open Spending, and set a monthly limit. You'll be asked to add a card if you don't have one on file. See On-demand usage for mobile subscriptions for the full steps.
How do I switch to The X Subscription?
Go to cursor.com/unify and pick a plan. When you switch, your Grok Bot in-app subscription is cancelled and the unused time is refunded. After the switch, check your subscriptions in Google Play; if one is still set to renew, cancel it there. See What is The X Subscription?.
Is my plan tied to my email or my Google account?
Both. An in-app plan is tied to a single Cursor email and the Google account used to buy it. If you sign in with a different email and try to restore the purchase, you'll see an error. Use the same email you subscribed with.
The same rule applies to changing plans. If the subscription on your Google account was bought under a different Grok Bot account, a plan switch from the app fails with a general error and you aren't charged. Sign in to the account that owns the subscription to change it.
What if my in-app purchase hasn't synced?
Your subscription status usually syncs automatically. If it still looks wrong after a purchase, tap Restore Purchases in the app. This re-downloads your subscription state from Google Play and re-applies your plan. Restore Purchases is for accounts that aren't already on a cursor.com subscription.
Can I buy a plan in the app in my region?
Yes. In-app plans are available in every region where Grok Bot is on Google Play.
