Grok Business is SpaceXSI's self-serve team plan with a published per-user price. Grok Enterprise adds organisation-wide governance, Custom SSO, SCIM directory sync and optional Enterprise Vault isolation, and is quoted by sales. This guide sets out what each plan includes, what it costs, and how we recommend a South African company runs its first rollout.
Every price and policy below comes from public SpaceXSI and Cursor documentation, with a link and the date we checked it.

Business has a published monthly price per user through a self-serve portal, so smaller teams can budget before speaking to sales. Enterprise is custom-quoted for organisations that need central identity, multi-team oversight or dedicated isolation.

Unlike some rivals that include SSO on their entry business plan, Grok places both Custom SSO and SCIM on Enterprise. Business includes domain verification, role-based access control, custom data retention and no training on business data.
For regulated or highly sensitive workloads, Enterprise Vault isolates customer data on a dedicated data plane away from the shared consumer stack, with customer-managed encryption keys and application-level encryption.

SpaceXSI lists data residency as an option on custom Enterprise plans, without publishing a public list of regions or confirming hosting in South Africa. We recommend treating both Grok Business and Grok Enterprise as cross-border data transfers from the start unless your written Enterprise contract commits to a specific region that satisfies your policy.

These are the questions we would settle with your legal and security teams before a pilot handles personal or confidential company information. This is a starting point, not legal advice.
The trade-off: Enterprise has no public price, so agree your pilot scope before requesting a quote.
Each setting below links to the public SpaceXSI page it comes from. The sequence, pilot sizing and outcome measures are our recommendations, not vendor requirements. Vendor setup steps are on the Grok Business overview and the Enterprise organisation guide.
Need hands-on rollout or integration support? Start with our two-week AI workflow diagnostic, or see how our Forward-Deployed Engineers take Grok and xAI API workflows into production.
We recommend starting with one operational workflow and one team rather than issuing licences across the business. Pick a process with a measurable baseline, such as engineering specification search or proposal preparation, and purchase self-serve seats directly from the official site.
We recommend deciding early whether your pilot can run without SSO. On Grok Business, admins invite users in the console; Custom SSO and SCIM require Enterprise. On Enterprise, associate your domain, configure and test SSO, then map IdP groups to priority-ordered roles before turning SCIM on.
SpaceXSI warns that activating SCIM is disruptive and can grant or remove access to resources immediately. Review the organisation preview and notify staff before clicking Activate.
Before inviting the pilot group, set custom data retention to match your records policy, define admin and member roles, and enable only the connectors the workflow needs. When connecting document stores such as Google Drive, confirm folder sharing hygiene first because Grok inherits each user's Drive permissions.
We recommend running one practical workshop built around the team's real documents, backed by a short page of approved use cases and forbidden data types. Name an internal owner for questions during the first month.
Measure workflow results rather than message counts. Record time per deliverable, cycle time and rework before launch, then measure the same tasks after four to six weeks. Label any projected time savings as estimated.
At the pilot review, decide whether to stay on Business, upgrade to Enterprise, or stop. Move to Enterprise when you need Custom SSO, SCIM, multi-team governance or Enterprise Vault. Stop or redesign the workflow if measured gains do not clear the cost of the seats.
A Grok Business seat costs $30 per user a month. Seats and onboarding: Self-serve portal for small-to-medium teams, with team and seat management and consolidated billing. Included models and tools: Grok 4.7, Imagine, Voice and Grok Build, with increased rate limits. Prices are list prices in US dollars, excluding VAT, as of 11 November 2026.
Grok Enterprise pricing: No public price; contact SpaceXSI sales for custom rate limits, volume pricing and dedicated onboarding. Enterprise Vault isolation and keys: Dedicated data plane isolated from the shared consumer stack, customer-managed encryption keys (CMEK) and application-level encryption. We recommend scoping your security and isolation requirements before asking for a quote.
We have not confirmed local currency billing from a South African checkout. Billing currency in South Africa: Varies by region; check at checkout. Budget in US dollars until checkout or your Enterprise quote confirms the currency.
Data residency: Available on custom Enterprise plans; SpaceXSI does not publish a public list of regions. Data residency in South Africa: Varies by region; check at checkout. Unless a written Enterprise agreement states otherwise, we recommend treating Grok as a cross-border transfer of personal information.
Training on business data: Not used for model training on Business or Enterprise. Data retention: Custom data retention and advanced audit and security controls on Business and Enterprise.
Single sign-on: Custom SSO on Enterprise only. SCIM directory sync: Enterprise only. Domain verification: Domain verification and claims on Business and Enterprise; Enterprise adds organisation-wide domain association. If your security policy requires SSO from day one, start on Enterprise rather than self-serve Business.
Grok Bot (often searched as Grokbot) access: Assigned seats on self-serve Grok Business can sign in to Grok Bot with that Grok account; Grok Enterprise customers arrange Grok Bot access with their account manager. Teams that also use Cursor can manage Cursor and Grok Bot seats together; see our Cursor and Grok Bot guide.
Check the commercial data processing terms, your legal basis for transferring personal information outside South Africa, custom retention settings, whether sensitive workloads need Enterprise Vault, which files connected apps can read, and your security team's audit requirements. Get sign-off from your information officer before the pilot uses personal information. This is a starting point, not legal advice.
Our AI workflow diagnostic takes about two weeks. It baselines one process, checks data and security feasibility, and ends with a go/no-go decision. It can conclude that you need no AI build at all.
