Pros and cons
Grok Bot
Productivity · freemium
Pros
- ✓Persistent cloud computer so work continues after you close the laptop
- ✓Signs into real apps, including ones with no API, according to the vendor
- ✓Multi-bot teams, group chat, and learn-by-demo routines are first-class
- ✓Included on regular Cursor and SuperGrok plans, not only the old top tiers
- ✓Desktop and iOS share one thread
Cons
- ×Still early beta — no published SLA or independent evals
- ×Cheaper Cursor plans list weekly usage, so heavy days can hit a cap
- ×Confirm your exact plan is eligible before you assume it is included
- ×Launch-page SpaceXAI stories are vendor examples, not third-party proof
☄️
Comet
Productivity · freemium
Pros
- ✓Assistant operates on the page you are already viewing instead of in a separate window with no context
- ✓Chromium base keeps most Chrome extensions working, which removes the usual dealbreaker when switching browsers
- ✓Import carries bookmarks, passwords, cookies, history and extensions across in one step
- ✓Free to download with no subscription required to start using it
- ✓Background Assistants give paying users parallel agentic tasks with confirmations gathered in one place
Cons
- ×Browser-agent limits are published only as relative claims, so no tier states how many agent queries you actually get
- ×The features most people want the browser for, Background Assistants and Email Assistant, sit behind the $200/mo Max tier
- ×Switching browsers is a bigger commitment than installing an extension, and profile migration is never fully clean
- ×An assistant with access to your logged-in sessions is a meaningful trust decision that a chat window in another tab does not require
