# Grok 4.7 vs Grok 4.6

> Markdown mirror of https://router.one/models/compare/grok-4-7-vs-grok-4-6 for AI assistants and crawlers. Router One is an OpenAI-compatible LLM API gateway.

The listed rates and 1M-input + 1M-output workload example use base tiers, assuming every request meets: grok-4.7: request input ≤ 200,000 tokens; grok-4.6: request input ≤ 200,000 tokens. Requests above a threshold use the long-context rates below. Grok 4.7 and Grok 4.6 come to the same total on Router One for a 1M-input + 1M-output mix ($4.40), so price does not decide this pair. Both carry a 500K context window. Both answer on /v1/chat/completions and /v1/responses (Codex CLI).

Grok 4.7 and Grok 4.6 compared on current per-token rates, context window, and capabilities — both callable through one OpenAI-compatible endpoint with per-request cost traces.

## Grok 4.7 vs Grok 4.6: rates, context window, and capabilities

| Spec | Grok 4.7 | Grok 4.6 |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Input / 1M tokens | $1.10 | $1.10 |
| Output / 1M tokens | $3.30 | $3.30 |
| Cached input / 1M tokens | $0.275 | $0.275 |

grok-4.7: request input ≤ 200,000 tokens: Input $1.10 / 1M tokens, Output $3.30 / 1M tokens, Cache write $1.10 / 1M tokens, Cached input $0.275 / 1M tokens; request input > 200,000 tokens: Input $2.20 / 1M tokens, Output $6.60 / 1M tokens, Cache write $2.20 / 1M tokens, Cached input $0.55 / 1M tokens. The total input tokens in each request select the tier; its rates apply to the whole request, not only tokens above the threshold.

grok-4.6: request input ≤ 200,000 tokens: Input $1.10 / 1M tokens, Output $3.30 / 1M tokens, Cache write $1.10 / 1M tokens, Cached input $0.275 / 1M tokens; request input > 200,000 tokens: Input $2.20 / 1M tokens, Output $6.60 / 1M tokens, Cache write $2.20 / 1M tokens, Cached input $0.55 / 1M tokens. The total input tokens in each request select the tier; its rates apply to the whole request, not only tokens above the threshold.

## What does 1M tokens cost on Grok 4.7 vs Grok 4.6?

The listed rates and 1M-input + 1M-output workload example use base tiers, assuming every request meets: grok-4.7: request input ≤ 200,000 tokens; grok-4.6: request input ≤ 200,000 tokens. Requests above a threshold use the long-context rates below. For a workload of 1M input plus 1M output tokens at current rates, Grok 4.7 and Grok 4.6 both come to $4.40. Price does not separate this pair, so choose on context window, capabilities, and the latency your own request traces show; real workloads skew heavily toward input tokens, so compare the input rates by your own ratio.

## Switch between Grok 4.7 and Grok 4.6 without changing code

Both models are behind the same OpenAI-compatible endpoint, so an A/B test is a one-string change — same key, same code, and every request traced with tokens, cost, and latency in the dashboard:

`compare.sh`

```bash
curl https://api.router.one/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer sk-your-router-one-key" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model": "grok-4.7", "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}]}'

# Same request, other model — change one string:
#   "model": "grok-4.6"
```

## FAQ

### Is Grok 4.7 cheaper than Grok 4.6?

The listed rates and 1M-input + 1M-output workload example use base tiers, assuming every request meets: grok-4.7: request input ≤ 200,000 tokens; grok-4.6: request input ≤ 200,000 tokens. Requests above a threshold use the long-context rates below. Input: Grok 4.7 $1.10 vs Grok 4.6 $1.10 / 1M tokens; the rates are equal. Output: Grok 4.7 $3.30 vs Grok 4.6 $3.30 / 1M tokens; the rates are equal. Total cost depends on the workload's input, output and cache usage. grok-4.7: request input ≤ 200,000 tokens: Input $1.10 / 1M tokens, Output $3.30 / 1M tokens, Cache write $1.10 / 1M tokens, Cached input $0.275 / 1M tokens; request input > 200,000 tokens: Input $2.20 / 1M tokens, Output $6.60 / 1M tokens, Cache write $2.20 / 1M tokens, Cached input $0.55 / 1M tokens. The total input tokens in each request select the tier; its rates apply to the whole request, not only tokens above the threshold. grok-4.6: request input ≤ 200,000 tokens: Input $1.10 / 1M tokens, Output $3.30 / 1M tokens, Cache write $1.10 / 1M tokens, Cached input $0.275 / 1M tokens; request input > 200,000 tokens: Input $2.20 / 1M tokens, Output $6.60 / 1M tokens, Cache write $2.20 / 1M tokens, Cached input $0.55 / 1M tokens. The total input tokens in each request select the tier; its rates apply to the whole request, not only tokens above the threshold. Rates change; the /models page is the live source of truth.

### Can I switch between Grok 4.7 and Grok 4.6 without changing code?

Yes. Both are served through the same OpenAI-compatible endpoint, so switching is changing the model string in the request — the key, base URL, and request shape stay identical.

### Where do these numbers come from?

Specs and prices on this page render from the live Router One catalog — the same data as the /models page — and refresh with it. Pricing methodology is documented on /pricing-methodology. Rates on this page were read from the live catalog on 2026-09-22 (UTC) and refresh within the hour.
