API Pricing
Input
$2.00 per 1M tokens (Grok 4)
Output
$10.00 per 1M tokens (Grok 4)
Grok 4.1 costs $3.00/$15.00 per 1M tokens. xAI offers competitive API pricing with generous free tier for developers.
Our Take
Grok is best accessed through X Premium+ if you already use X/Twitter heavily. The real-time data access is a genuine differentiator. API pricing is competitive but the model ecosystem is smaller than OpenAI or Anthropic.
Best for: Real-time information, X/Twitter power users, and unfiltered AI responses
