Every current Grok model with its real per-million-token price — plus the long-context surcharge, a calculator for your own workload, and a straight comparison against the frontier rivals xAI is undercutting.

Grok 4.6 at $2 input / $6 output per 1M tokens is the lowest headline rate of any closed-lab flagship — a quarter of GPT-5.6 Sol on output and a fraction of Claude Opus 5. xAI keeps the previous flagship 4.5 at the same price, and Grok 4.3 hangs around as the value pick: $1.25 / $2.50 with a full 1M-token window.
The catch mirrors Gemini: a long-context surcharge. Beyond roughly 200K prompt tokens, 4.6 and 4.5 double to $4 / $12 (4.3 to $2.50 / $5). Cached input helps on the other side — repeated prefixes bill at about a quarter of the fresh rate ($0.50 on 4.6).
Grok Build 0.1 is the coding-tuned model at $1 / $2 with 256K context — priced to compete with open-weight coding models like Kimi K2.7 Code rather than with the closed-lab rivals.
Grok bills per token with separate input and output rates per million tokens: Grok 4.6 and 4.5 at $2 / $6, Grok 4.3 at $1.25 / $2.50, and the coding-focused Grok Build 0.1 at $1 / $2. Prompts beyond ~200K tokens bill at double rates on the flagships.
Grok Build 0.1 at $1 input / $2 output per 1M tokens — but it is tuned for coding. For general work, Grok 4.3 at $1.25 / $2.50 with a 1M-token context is the value pick.
Requests whose prompts exceed roughly 200K tokens bill at a higher tier: $4 / $12 on Grok 4.6 and 4.5 (up from $2 / $6), and $2.50 / $5 on Grok 4.3. Budget at the surcharge rate if you regularly send very large contexts.
At sticker price, clearly: Grok 4.6 blends to about $3/1M tokens versus $8 for GPT-5.6 Sol and $10 for Claude Opus 5. Output-heavy workloads benefit most, since Grok charges $6 per 1M output tokens against $20–25 for the rivals. The matchup table below puts them side by side.
From the xAI console at console.x.ai — usage is pay-as-you-go per token. Grok models are also available through OpenRouter if you want one key across many vendors.
