GROK 4.7 API PRICING
What xAI charges for Grok 4.7, in USD, cross-checked daily against the public pricing dataset. Effective price — if there's a promo running, this is the promo.
xAI states it plainly: past the line a request is billed at the higher rate "for all tokens in the request". The scenarios below stay under the line; a large-codebase agent run often doesn't.
USAGE: <0.2% of OpenRouter tokens in the week of 2026-11-02. What people actually run. Source: OpenRouter (openrouter.ai/rankings), as of 2026-11-10.
NOTE: Cached reads cost $0.50/MTok, a quarter of input. Past 200K prompt tokens xAI bills every token in the request at the higher rate: $4/$12, cached $1. Also one of the models inside Cursor's plans.
WHAT THINGS ACTUALLY COST ON GROK 4.7
| Scenario | Tokens in / out | 1 run | 1,000 runs |
|---|---|---|---|
| A typical prompt (300 tokens in) | 300 / ~900 | $0.0060 | $6.00 |
| A 20-turn conversation (context re-sent) | 4,000 / ~4,000 | $0.03 | $32.00 |
| Summarizing a 10-page document | 8,000 / ~3,200 | $0.04 | $35.20 |
| One agent run (tools, retries, thinking) | 2,000 / ~12,000 | $0.08 | $76.00 |
| A code review request | 1,500 / ~3,750 | $0.03 | $25.50 |
Output sizes assume the same editorial ratios as the Burn Calculator (3x for prompts, 6x for agent runs). Estimates, not invoices.
VS. THE REST OF THE BOARD
“Same job” = a 1,000-token prompt with a 3,000-token reply, priced on both models. Cheaper is not always better. It is, however, always cheaper.
PRICE HISTORY
Grok 4.7 joins the board at $2.00 in / $6.00 out per MTok. Cached reads are $0.50, a quarter of input, the highest share we track. Past 200K prompt tokens the whole request bills at double.
