## Credits and extras

- **Claude: Monthly API credits.** Max includes $100/month and Ultra $200/month in Claude API credits. Team plans pool credits up to $500/month. These credits pay for API use; they do not add chat allowance to the subscription.
- **Claude: Annual discount.** Pro is $17/mo effective on annual ($200 up front) vs $20 monthly. Team is $20 vs $25 per Standard seat and $100 vs $125 per Premium seat.
- **Claude: Usage credits.** On paid plans, turn on usage credits to keep working at standard API rates after hitting a limit. Fable is paid with these on Pro.
- **Grok: One bill for Grok, Cursor and X.** Premium and up include Grok, Cursor (agents, cloud agents, Origin code hosting, Bugbot) and Premium benefits on X. xAI says Premium replaces SuperGrok, Cursor Pro and the old Premium+ plan on X ($90/mo combined before).
- **Grok: Annual discount.** Plus $80/yr, Premium $300/yr, Super $1,000/yr and Ultra $2,000/yr, about 17% below 12 monthly payments.
- **Grok: X Money.** 6% APY and 3% cashback on all tiers (Free and Plus require Direct Deposit).
- **Grok: Switching is permanent.** Existing SuperGrok, Cursor or Premium (on X) subscribers keep their plans. Switching to the new Grok plans (sold as The X Subscription) refunds unused time, but the new plan is charged in full and the switch cannot be undone. Cannot buy through resellers.
