THE VERDICT
● ChatGPT Plus at $20 for almost everyone. Codex across four surfaces, GPT Image 2 included, and you can buy credits when you hit a limit.
● SuperGrok Lite at $10 only if real-time X data is the reason you are buying anything at all.
● The cheaper comparison nobody makes: ChatGPT Go is $8 and also includes Codex — but Free and Go cannot buy extra credits.

FAQ
Is SuperGrok Lite enough?
For light regular use and real-time research, yes. If you are running long sessions or generating heavy image volume, the shared weekly pool will bite.
Is ChatGPT Go at $8 better value?
It includes Codex, but Free and Go cannot purchase extra credits — hit a limit and you stop until the window resets. Plus at $20 is the cheapest tier where you can pay to continue.
