What a typical workload costs
An app that sends 1,000 requests a day, each with a 2,000-token prompt and a 500-token answer, uses 60M input and 15M output tokens in 30 days. If 1,500 of those prompt tokens are the same system prompt and context every time, prompt caching bills 45M of them at the cached rate (cache writes and storage not included). Batch is the same traffic sent as asynchronous batch jobs.
| Model | Per month | With caching | With batch |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grok 4.7 | $210 | $143 | $168 |
| Grok 4.6 | $210 | $143 | $168 |

| Grok Build 0.1 | $90.00 | $54.00 | — |

FAQ
How much does the Grok API cost?+
xAI charges per token. On 2026-11-02 its official pricing page listed, per 1M tokens: Grok 4.7 $2 input / $6 output, Grok 4.6 $2 input / $6 output, Grok 4.3 $1.25 input / $2.50 output and Grok Build 0.1 $1 input / $2 output.
What is the cheapest xAI model?+
Grok Build 0.1: $1 per 1M input tokens and $2 per 1M output tokens. For the example workload on this page (30,000 requests a month) that is about $90.00 a month, against $210 on Grok 4.7, the most expensive xAI model here.
Does xAI have prompt caching or cheaper cached input?+
Yes. Cached input tokens cost $0.50 on Grok 4.7 (75% less than regular input), $0.50 on Grok 4.6 (75% less than regular input), $0.20 on Grok 4.3 (84% less than regular input) and $0.20 on Grok Build 0.1 (80% less than regular input).
Does xAI offer a batch discount?+
Yes: 20% off for asynchronous batch requests on Grok 4.7 and Grok 4.6. Batch requests are processed in the background instead of answered right away, so they suit evals, backfills and bulk summaries rather than chat. Grok 4.3 has no batch discount.
How does Grok 4.7 compare on price with other AI APIs?+
At $2 input / $6 output per 1M tokens, the closest-priced models from other providers are Gemini 2.5 Pro (Google, $1.25 / $10) and Claude Sonnet 5.5 (Anthropic, $2 / $10). Price per token isn't the whole bill: compare quality on your own prompts, and how many tokens each model uses for the same task.
How current are these prices?+
They were copied from xAI's official pricing page on 2026-11-02, and the month in this page's title is that check date. Prices change often, so confirm on the official page before you commit to a budget.
