Grok Imagine Video 1.5: cost of 10 seconds

Using xAI's listed rates for Grok Imagine Video 1.5, a 10 second clip costs $0.80 at 480p, $1.40 at 720p and $2.50 at 1080p. To price the same clip on Sume, read the model's pricing_skus in the catalog; Sume bills list times 1.25 on Video Router models.

The math

The pricing tracker lists the per-second rates as of 2026-10-04. Multiply by 10 for the clip cost.

Reading the numbers

Per-second pricing scales linearly: 30 seconds is three times the 10-second cost at the same resolution. The 1080p rate is about 3.1 times the 480p rate, so resolution is the larger lever for most budgets. Pricing pages change often, so record the date you read them.

Pricing it on Sume

GET /v1/videos/models returns pricing_skus per model, along with supported resolutions and durations. The Video Router docs say Sume bills provider list times 1.25 on every model. The Sume docs do not list a Grok video id, so confirm availability in the live catalog before you plan a budget around it.

Use dry_run on the MCP tool for an admission and cost preview, or fetch the model row and multiply the SKU price by the seconds you want.
