Grok Imagine image at $0.02 vs Sume grok-image: 100 ad stills
xAI lists grok-imagine-image at $0.02, quality at $0.05 and 2.0 at $0.04 per image. Sume grok-image bills $0.03 per n=1 job. Cost per 100 ad stills.
xAI's pricing table, read 2026-10-13, lists grok-imagine-image at $0.02 per image, grok-imagine-image-quality at $0.05 and grok-imagine-image-2.0 at $0.04, which is $2.00, $5.00 and $4.00 per 100 images. Sume's x-ai/grok-image row computes to $0.025 per image (the $0.02 list price times 1.25), but each job is ceiled to a whole cent and this row takes one image per job, so you are billed $0.03 per image ($3.00 per 100).
Table
Sume's catalog has one Grok image row. The repo table does not say which xAI tier it maps to, so treat the comparison as price level, not model equivalence, and check the live model page before you rely on it.
| Option | Per image | 100 images |
|---|---|---|
| xAI grok-imagine-image | $0.02 | $2.00 |
| xAI grok-imagine-image-2.0 | $0.04 | $4.00 |
| xAI grok-imagine-image-quality | $0.05 | $5.00 |
| Sume grok-image (n=1 job, ceiled) | $0.03 | $3.00 |
What 100 ads need
A 100-ad set with three aspect ratios is 300 images. At Sume's grok-image rate of $0.03 per job that is $9.00 before retakes; add 20% for rejected frames and plan for $10.80. The row accepts n=1 only, so you cannot batch images into one job to avoid the cent round-up: 300 images is 300 jobs. The image docs list n limits per model.
