6 to 12 months of free credits across Grok, the app builder, the bot maker, and the developer tools.
A short description of what you are building and who is on your team, even if that team is just you.
Click Apply and fill in your startup details honestly; a real project with a clear idea is what qualifies.
Submit the application and wait for approval, since it is reviewed and not automatic.
Once approved, log in and check your team account; the free credits (free usage money) land there.
Start building with those credits across Grok, the app builder, the bot maker, and the API at zero cost.
For the first six months, keep an eye on your spend, because every dollar you actually spend is matched with free credits the next month.
Grok for Startups is a program that hands startups and builders 6 to 12 months of free credits. Credits are just free usage money for Grok's paid tools: the main Grok AI, their app builder, their bot maker, and the developer tools. Instead of paying monthly, you build on their dime.
Go to x.ai/startups, hit Apply, and fill in your startup details (what you're building, your team). It is an application, so it is not automatic, but a real project with a clear idea qualifies.
Once approved, the free credits land in your team account. You can immediately use them across Grok, the app builder, the bot maker, and the API.
For the first six months, every dollar you actually spend gets matched with free credits the next month. So even past the initial grant, you stretch your spend twice as far. Terms can change, so confirm the current details on x.ai/startups.
Approval is not automatic and the program terms can change; check x.ai/startups for current details.
