IT Home reported on October 31 that users have said Grok, from Elon Musk’s xAI, now supports payments via China UnionPay and Alipay. The subscription page’s region options also include mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan. IT Home checked and confirmed this.
X user @jordan1oi said that first-time Grok subscribers who pay through Alipay can get 50% off their first month. Users can also choose Apple Pay or Google Pay, while paying through a linked bank account offers $5 cash back (IT Home note: approximately 33.3 yuan at the current exchange rate).
However, as of now, no official xAI announcement has been found regarding the payment methods, region options or promotions mentioned above.
