Morse vs Grok: Grok 4.7 with or without your X account

The Morse teamPublished November 11, 2026Facts checked November 11, 202610 min read

In Morse vs Grok, the difference is whose account Grok answers to. As of November 11, 2026, Grok.com ties every chat to a SpaceXSI account, often your X account, keeps it on SpaceXSI's servers until you delete it, and trains on it unless you turn off "Improve the model," while Morse sends Grok 4.7 your message under Morse's own account, through a host that agreed to keep nothing, and keeps your history encrypted in your browser. Choose Grok if you want one bill for Grok, Cursor, and X Premium, with Heavy mode, voice, and phone apps; choose Morse if you want Grok 4.7 for $11 a month less, sent under Morse's account instead of yours, next to GPT, Claude, DeepSeek, and GLM.

We read SpaceXSI's pricing page, the grok.com plans page (signed out, monthly and annual), its announcement of The X Subscription, its consumer terms and privacy policy (both last updated October 27, 2026), the consumer FAQ, the security page, the API security FAQ, the cookie policy, and the acceptable use policy on November 11, 2026. X's Grok help page refused our reader, so for X's side we used the Internet Archive's copy from November 3, 2026. SpaceXSI's terms do one thing well. They list, item by item, what an X sign-in copies into your Grok account.

Grok is run by SpaceX Super Intelligence LLC, which its pages shorten to SpaceXSI. SpaceX acquired xAI on February 2, 2026 (SpaceXSI), and the October 27 policy update changed the company named in it from SpaceXAI LLC to SpaceX Super Intelligence LLC. Our log of AI privacy policy changes compares the versions line by line.

At a glance

As of November 11, 2026. Every Grok fact links to SpaceXSI's own page.

How much does Grok cost, and which plan gets Grok 4.7?

Premium, at $30 a month, is the first plan that lists "Latest Grok models." Since October 12, 2026, new customers pay for Grok through The X Subscription, which puts Grok, Grok Bot, Cursor, and X Premium on one bill (SpaceXSI). Here is every plan, read on November 11, 2026:

Paying yearly takes about 17% off every tier, by our arithmetic: $80 against $96 for Plus, $300 against $360 for Premium, $1,000 against $1,200 for Super, and $2,000 against $2,400 for Ultra. Paying monthly, a first year of Premium with the half-price first month comes to $345.

Usage comes from one pool "shared across Grok and Cursor" that refreshes weekly, and when it runs out you buy top-ups or wait (SpaceXSI). Signed out, grok.com's model menu offers Fast; Auto and Expert say "Requires sign-in," and Heavy is marked Premium (Grok). As of November 11, the plans page names no model version for any tier. For Grok 4.7's specs and API prices, see our Grok 4.7 guide.

On Morse, Grok 4.7 is one of Pro's text models, unlimited, at $19 a month or $17 billed yearly, which is $204 for the year. That's $11 a month less than Premium and $96 a year less than Premium billed yearly, and the same plan carries E2EE chats, unfiltered models, memory across chats, and 250 credits a month for frontier models. Max, at $49, adds higher rate limits and 5,500 credits a month (Morse plans).

What happened to SuperGrok?

New customers can't buy it under that name. SpaceXSI describes Premium as "The benefits of SuperGrok, Cursor Pro, and X Premium+, previously $90/month combined," and says existing SuperGrok, Cursor, and X Premium subscribers can keep their current plan, price, and features (SpaceXSI). Grok's product page still carries "Get SuperGrok" buttons (SpaceXSI).

Pricing guides that rank for SuperGrok lag further behind. One we read, citing prices checked October 3, 2026, still lists SuperGrok Lite at $10, SuperGrok Plus at $100, SuperGrok Heavy at $300, and X Premium+ at $40 (Krater). As of November 11, 2026, none of those appears on SpaceXSI's pricing page, and its top consumer plan is Ultra, at $200.

What does signing in with X give Grok?

More than a username. SpaceXSI's consumer terms say that if you connect with your X credentials, it may bring into your Grok account your X user profile "(including date of birth)," your "X account and location information, X preferences," your X usage data, your Grok on X conversation history, and your "X post history (your X posts viewable on your X account including posts to and from all accounts (public or protected) that you can view)" (SpaceXSI terms). The privacy policy adds that the service uses public X posts and engagement data, such as follower counts, views, likes, and reposts (privacy policy).

Grok inside the X app follows X's own policy and switches, which is Grok private lays out setting by setting.

Morse never asks for X. You sign in with a code emailed to you, a password, or Google, and Grok gets your message under Morse's account.

Does paying for Grok stop it training on your chats?

No. None of the consumer pages we read ties the training default to a plan, and the off switch, Private Chat, and the feedback that still counts after you opt out are in is Grok private. Team-wide privacy settings and custom chat retention appear only under the pricing table's Team management heading (SpaceXSI).

Two rules sit outside the training switch:

• The license. Whatever your setting, the terms grant SpaceXSI an "irrevocable, perpetual, transferable, sublicensable, royalty-free, and worldwide right" to use what you submit, including for "customer and market research" and "developing new products or features" (SpaceXSI terms).
• Build mode. Build sessions on grok.com and the apps "are retained for product functionality," and Private Chat "is not available for Build mode currently" (SpaceXSI).

Morse doesn't train AI on your content on any plan, so there's no switch to find and no mode where the rule changes.

Where is a Grok prompt decrypted, and who can read it?

On SpaceXSI's systems, where the model reads it. Its security page describes TLS for "communication sessions" and archive data "encrypted at rest using server-side encryption with Amazon S3 managed keys (SSE-S3)" (SpaceXSI). With keys managed by the storage service, the data is decrypted whenever SpaceXSI's systems read it, so the encryption keeps outsiders out of the stored copy while SpaceXSI reads it as plain text.

Some of its staff can read them too; the review rules and the exceptions to its 30-day deletion are in is Grok private, and every step for clearing your history is in how to delete Grok history.

Does Grok have ads?

The pages we read describe no ads inside Grok chats, but grok.com runs advertising cookies. Its cookie policy, effective November 4, 2026, lists 43 of them (cookie policy), and how to refuse them is in is Grok private. Morse doesn't sell data or show ads, and runs no advertising trackers or third-party analytics.

Grok Imagine or Morse Studio for images?

Grok Imagine makes video as well as images, and Super raises it to "1080p, 15s videos" (SpaceXSI). Its rules on real people and AI labels are in Grok alternatives.

Morse's Studio gives you 3 images a day on Free, and unlimited Pro image models on Pro, such as Nano Banana 2 Lite, Qwen-Image-3.0-Pro, and unfiltered image models. Studio images are stored in your browser, encrypted, like your chats. We compare image apps by where they keep your pictures in the best private AI image generator.

Where Grok is better

From SpaceXSI's own pages, read November 11, 2026:

• Live X. Grok searches the web and X as you ask, and SpaceXSI pitches its X integration for "breaking news and trends" (SpaceXSI).
• Video and voice. Imagine makes video, at 1080p on Super, and Grok holds voice conversations with "sub-second latency" (SpaceXSI).
• Phone apps. Grok runs on iOS and Android as well as the web. Morse is a web app.
• One bill for more tools. Paid plans include Cursor, Grok Build, Grok API access, and X Premium perks (SpaceXSI), and Premium adds Grok Bot.
• Heavy. A multi-agent mode in which several agents take parts of a hard question at once, and "each agent shows its work" (SpaceXSI).

How Morse runs Grok without your X account

Grok's rules hang on one SpaceXSI account, often your X account, and on the copy of each chat that account keeps on SpaceXSI's servers. A bigger plan buys more usage under the same terms. On Morse, you get Grok 4.7 without your account attached and without a copy on Morse's servers.

• Private, for Grok 4.7 under Morse's account instead of yours. Every new chat starts in Private mode. Our proxy removes your account, email, and IP address and sends the message under Morse's own account, and Morse has zero data retention agreements with its inference, search, and other providers, so they keep nothing. Where a provider confirms zero retention on each reply, Morse checks it and refuses a reply that doesn't; otherwise Morse relies on the provider's commitment. What a zero retention promise covers, provider by provider, is in what is zero data retention.
• E2EE, for what you wouldn't tell any AI company. Grok doesn't run here, so pick an open-weight model such as GLM, Kimi, or DeepSeek. Your browser checks the enclave's hardware attestation, then encrypts the message so only that enclave can read it, and Morse's servers relay ciphertext they can't read. The enclaves are run by third-party providers, not by Morse, and the guarantee rests on the enclave hardware and attestation working as designed. E2EE has no web search or image generation, and comes with Pro.
• Anonymous, for GPT, Claude, and Gemini on the same plan. When you want a second opinion from another lab, the provider sees the message without knowing it's you, and may keep it for a limited time to check for abuse, under its own policy.

In every mode, your chat history is stored in your browser, encrypted, and locked when you sign out; opening it takes a key that never leaves your device and a second one our server hands over at sign-in. Our servers don't keep your messages, and because we don't store chats, we usually have very little to give authorities. Clearing your browser or deleting your account removes the history for good, and we can't recover it, so keep a copy of anything you'll need. Our privacy policy lists what the account holds.

Choose Grok or Morse

• Choose Grok if your work already runs through X and Cursor: one Premium bill covers Grok, Grok Bot, Cursor, and X perks, Heavy splits hard questions across agents, Super makes 1080p video, and you'll turn off Improve the model yourself.
• Choose Morse if Grok 4.7 is the model you need and you'd rather pay $19 a month than $30 for it, with no X account linked, GPT, Claude, DeepSeek, and GLM a menu away, history kept encrypted on your device, and E2EE chats on the same plan.
