Apps to use Grok on iPhone in 2026
The direct way to use Grok on iPhone is the official Grok app from X Corp. It is free to download, with SuperGrok Lite at $10 a month, SuperGrok $30, Plus $100 and Heavy $300 listed on the US App Store on 3 November 2026, and a 4.9 rating from 1,567,769 ratings.

Six other apps also give you Grok. The X app has Ask Grok built in, for questions about posts and trending news.
