* Some models use tiered pricing based on prompt length. Displayed prices are for prompts ≤ 200k tokens.

What does "cost per token" mean?

Tokens are the basic units that AI models use to process text. Generally, 1,000 tokens ≈ ~750 words. The cost per token determines how much you pay for each unit of text processed by the model.

Formula: Total Cost = (tokens / 1,000) × price per 1K tokens

Examples

Example usage with Grok 3 Mini Beta: A 500-word prompt + 300-word response ≈ ~1,067 tokens total.

  • • 1,000 tokens ≈ ~750 words of text
  • • Short email: ~200-400 tokens
  • • Blog post: ~1,000-3,000 tokens
  • • Research paper: ~10,000+ tokens

Grok 3 Mini Beta Cost Example:

1,000 input tokens + 500 output tokens = $0.000550

Frequently Asked Questions

Grok 3 Mini Beta costs $0.000300 per 1,000 input tokens and $0.000500 per 1,000 output tokens.
