The pricing point that matters
Grok Bot's cost is mostly a plan you may already have. Its risk is uncapped on-demand usage. CellCog's cost is entirely usage, which is naturally capped by credits. Which is cheaper depends on whether you'd buy Cursor Ultra or SuperGrok anyway.
What we'd check before choosing CellCog
Where the agents run, what they can sign into, how credentials are isolated, and how long the company has been around. Grok Bot's shared computer is a known quantity we can harden; a smaller vendor's model needs the same questions asked.
