Tone is not a fixed technical capability: system instructions, reasoning settings, safety policies, and product interfaces can change how either model responds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Creative and social workflows:<\/strong> test whether Grok&#8217;s style reduces editing time without reducing factual support.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Research and enterprise workflows:<\/strong> test whether Gemini&#8217;s structure improves review, citations, and reuse.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Customer-facing use:<\/strong> apply the same safety, escalation, privacy, and quality controls to both models.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Pricing Plans: Verified Current Costs<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"882\" height=\"457\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.glbgpt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/2e7d880b-1633-4d84-bfe1-63f9982ab1c4.png\" alt=\"Historical Grok pricing screenshot showing $30 SuperGrok and $300 SuperGrok Heavy\" class=\"wp-image-5137\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp.glbgpt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/2e7d880b-1633-4d84-bfe1-63f9982ab1c4.png 882w, https:\/\/wp.glbgpt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/2e7d880b-1633-4d84-bfe1-63f9982ab1c4-300x155.png 300w, https:\/\/wp.glbgpt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/2e7d880b-1633-4d84-bfe1-63f9982ab1c4-768x398.png 768w, https:\/\/wp.glbgpt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/2e7d880b-1633-4d84-bfe1-63f9982ab1c4-18x9.png 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 882px) 100vw, 882px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Historical November 2025 Grok consumer pricing screenshot retained from the original article.

These are API prices, not monthly subscriptions. Neither developer pricing page states that tax is included; applicable tax and currency conversion depend on the customer&#8217;s billing account and jurisdiction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>API route<\/th><th>Prompt size<\/th><th>Entrada<\/th><th>Entrada almacenada en cach\u00e9<\/th><th>Salida<\/th><th>Important condition<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Retired Grok 4.1 Fast slug, now served by Grok 4.3<\/td><td>Below 200K<\/td><td>$1.25<\/td><td>$0.20<\/td><td>$2.50<\/td><td>Old reasoning slug gets low reasoning; old non-reasoning slug gets no reasoning<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Retired Grok 4.1 Fast slug, now served by Grok 4.3<\/td><td>200K or more<\/td><td>$2.50<\/td><td>$0.40<\/td><td>$5.00<\/td><td>xAI applies long-context rates to all tokens once the prompt reaches 200K<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Grok 4.5<\/td><td>Below 200K<\/td><td>$2.00<\/td><td>$0.30<\/td><td>$6.00<\/td><td>Search and code-execution tools are billed separately<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Grok 4.5<\/td><td>200K or more<\/td><td>$4.00<\/td><td>$0.60<\/td><td>$12.00<\/td><td>500K total context<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Vista previa de Gemini 3.1 Pro<\/td><td>Up to 200K<\/td><td>$2.00<\/td><td>$0.20<\/td><td>$12.00<\/td><td>Output price includes thinking tokens; no free API tier is listed<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Vista previa de Gemini 3.1 Pro<\/td><td>Over 200K<\/td><td>$4.00<\/td><td>$0.40<\/td><td>$18.00<\/td><td>Context-cache storage is listed separately at $4.50 per 1M tokens per hour<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Grok 4.5 has the lower output rate below the long-context threshold. Gemini costs more for output, but its published one-million-token input limit and mixed-media support may reduce the need for a separate file pipeline. Compare total cost per accepted result, including tool calls, retries, and human review.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Consumer Subscriptions Are Separate<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Google&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/gemini.google\/subscriptions\/?hl=en-US&amp;gl=US\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">United States Gemini subscription page<\/a>, Free is $0 per month, Google AI Plus is $4.99 per month, Google AI Pro is $19.99 per month, and Google AI Ultra starts at $99.99 per month for 5x Pro usage or $199.99 per month for 20x. The page presents monthly billing, and access varies by plan, country, age, and language. The page does not state whether the displayed US dollar prices include tax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Grok consumer access is billed separately from the xAI API. xAI&#8217;s public developer pricing page gives exact API and tool rates but does not publish one universal Grok.com monthly subscription price for every account and region. The historical consumer pricing image above should not be used to quote a current plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Current GlobalGPT Pricing and Features<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As of July 23, 2026, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.glbgpt.com\/order\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">P\u00e1gina de pedidos de GlobalGPT<\/a> lists Basic at $11.90 month to month or $5.80 per month billed annually, Pro at $19.90 month to month or $10.80 per month billed annually, and Unlimited at $49.90 month to month or $25.00 per month billed annually. The annual totals are $69.60, $129.60, and $300.00. The page uses a dollar sign but does not state the ISO currency code or whether tax is included; discounted monthly equivalents require payment for a full year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.glbgpt.com\/home?inviter=hub_content_home&amp;login=1\">Multiple model routes<\/a>:<\/strong> the current list includes Grok 4.1 Fast, Grok 4.3, Gemini 3 Pro, Gemini 3.1 Pro, and other model families.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>One account:<\/strong> compare chat, search, image, video, and research tools without maintaining a separate consumer subscription for every provider.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Third-party terms:<\/strong> GlobalGPT controls its own routing, limits, plan allowances, and billing; provider API documentation remains the source for official endpoint status.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reflexiones finales<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do not start a new official API integration on Grok 4.1 Fast or Gemini 3 Pro Preview. Use Grok 4.3 when you need the explicit xAI migration target, or evaluate Grok 4.5 as xAI&#8217;s current flagship. Use Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview when native mixed-media input, a published 1,048,576-token input limit, and Google grounding are decisive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Choose Grok 4.5 for coding-centered agentic workflows, lower short-context output pricing, or X Search.

The old slugs now route to Grok 4.3 with low or no reasoning effort and are billed at Grok 4.3 rates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is Gemini 3 Pro still available through the Gemini API?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No. Google lists Gemini 3 Pro Preview as shut down on March 9, 2026 and tells developers to migrate to Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview. Google&#8217;s page does not promise that the old model ID will continue working as an alias.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which current model should a new project use?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Evaluate Grok 4.5 and Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview with explicit model IDs. Grok 4.5 fits coding, agentic, and X-search workflows; Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview fits large mixed-media inputs and Google-grounded research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which model has the larger current context window?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview publishes a 1,048,576-token input limit and a 65,536-token output limit. xAI lists a 500,000-token context for Grok 4.5 and a one-million-token context for Grok 4.3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How much do the current replacement APIs cost?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Below 200K prompt tokens, Grok 4.5 is $2 input and $6 output per 1M tokens; Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview is $2 input and $12 output. At the long-context tier, Grok is $4\/$12 and Gemini is $4\/$18 in USD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does Grok include real-time X data automatically?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No. xAI says Grok has no access to real-time events unless search tools are enabled. Web Search and X Search are optional tools, each listed at $5 per 1,000 calls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can GlobalGPT show both legacy labels and current successors?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. GlobalGPT&#8217;s current list includes Grok 4.1 Fast, Grok 4.3, Gemini 3 Pro, and Gemini 3.1 Pro.
