Details
Grok offers a 7-day free trial to new App Store accounts. Previously known signup methods involved adding a foreign card or using GoPay. If you change your Apple account country to Hong Kong, you can add Alipay or WeChat Pay as a payment method and get the same trial.
First, change the country or region of your Apple account to Hong Kong. The Hong Kong App Store supports Alipay and WeChat Pay as payment methods. You can sign up for both services with a Chinese mobile number (+86), and neither requires identity verification or card registration. Link your Alipay or WeChat Pay account as an App Store payment method, then subscribe to Grok to start the 7-day free trial.
If your Grok account is still eligible for the trial, you can apply even after changing the region. You will be charged when the free period ends, so you need to cancel the subscription within 7 days. The publisher says they paid for only one of their two Grok accounts, but features were unlocked on the other account too, and they were even able to use the build feature. The upgrade prompt kept appearing on that account’s home screen, but they don’t know why.
