Pricing & Billing
Clear Pricing Before You Route Production Traffic
Pricing is more than a model table. Compare model prices, understand pay-as-you-go versus BYOK economics, and see exactly how usage translates into spend.
What to review before you approve budget
Use the model catalog, confirm BYOK fee behavior, and connect usage accounting to your billing workflow before you move meaningful traffic.
Browse model-by-model pricing, context windows, and capabilities before you decide on a routing strategy.
Keep model costs on your own cloud account while understanding when Grok API may still apply a platform fee.
Track every request as auditable cost data with detailed usage breakdowns, activity analytics, and billing reconciliation.

Pricing FAQ
Compare model costs, understand BYOK fees, and see how billing works before you scale traffic.
How should a team estimate spend before switching production traffic?
Does BYOK mean Grok API becomes free? Where can I verify what was actually billed? Is the pricing page enough to make a finance decision? It is a good starting point, but not the final source of truth. You should verify your account settings, BYOK fee details, and actual workload mix before treating catalog prices as your total cost estimate.

Pricing FAQ
Compare model costs, understand BYOK fees, and see how billing works before you scale traffic.
How should a team estimate spend before switching production traffic?
Start with the model catalog to compare current prompt and completion pricing, then test with your own prompt mix and traffic patterns before changing production routing policy.
Does BYOK mean Grok API becomes free?
No. BYOK keeps model charges on your own cloud account, but Grok API may still charge a platform fee depending on your plan and account settings.
Where can I verify what was actually billed?
Check the response usage object for per-request cost details, then reconcile with activity analytics and the billing dashboard for balances and billing history.
Is the pricing page enough to make a finance decision?
It is a good starting point, but not the final source of truth. You should verify your account settings, BYOK fee details, and actual workload mix before treating catalog prices as your total cost estimate.
