Current Grok API model prices
Rates are first-party USD list prices per one million tokens. Current models are ordered by catalog relevance, not by price alone. Marketplace-only prices are excluded so they cannot be mistaken for the model creator's API rate.

How to compare Grok API costs
02
Long-context requests may use a different pricing tier, so verify the current threshold before modeling large prompts.
03
Priority processing and server-side tools can add costs that are not captured by base token rates alone.
Questions
Grok API pricing FAQ
How do I estimate Grok API cost?
Multiply the expected input and output token counts by the corresponding per-token rates, then include any long-context, priority-processing, or tool charges that apply.
Does Grok long-context usage cost the same as shorter requests?
Not always. xAI may publish separate long-context tiers, so verify the threshold and rates for the model you plan to use.
