DeepSeek V4 Pro and Grok 4.7 on every plan

Whether the one-time free trial reaches each model, then each paid plan's messages on it.

Messages on DeepSeek V4 Pro and Grok 4.7, plan by plan

Free$0In the one-time trial of 5 messagesIn the one-time trial of 5 messages

Prices don't include tax, which is added where it applies and shown before you pay. A paid plan's month is one allowance shared by every model, so each monthly count is the most you get if all of it goes to that model. It renews each billing period; everyday models refill daily at 00:00 UTC. Long chats count more per reply. How pricing works.

Every limit is published. Paid plans also have a monthly fair-use limit on AI cost: Pro $7.50, Max $20, Ultra $42, Studio $85. Using every message on your plan at typical sizes stays under it; very large messages and heavy research use it faster. Every limit, explained.

What differs

  • Messages on Pro

    They cost the same in llmwise: up to 250 messages a month on Pro on either.

  • Context window

    DeepSeek V4 Pro takes up to 1.05M tokens; Grok 4.7 up to 500K tokens. A chat in llmwise holds up to 200k tokens, which fits in either, so the difference shows only through each maker's own API.

  • Images and PDFs

    DeepSeek V4 Pro doesn't read images. DeepSeek V4 Pro gets a PDF's text rather than the file itself.

  • On Free

    Both are in the free trial.

  • Where messages go

    DeepSeek V4 Pro: Served through OpenRouter, only by hosts that don't store or train on prompts. The maker's own endpoint is never asked. Grok 4.7: Served through OpenRouter by xAI alone, on an endpoint that doesn't store or train on prompts.

API prices are what our model catalog lists (DeepSeek: the price of the OpenRouter endpoints llmwise uses, not DeepSeek's own API; Grok: xAI's price, served through OpenRouter). In llmwise you pay per message, not per token: the counts above are what you get.

DeepSeek V4 Pro or Grok 4.7?

From the facts above and our test runs: the rest is how their answers suit your work, which one chat can show you.

  • Pick DeepSeek V4 Pro: it costs its maker less to run ($0.0038 a typical message at API prices), though in llmwise the count is the same.

  • Pick Grok 4.7: it reads images; it reads a PDF as the whole file, charts and scans included.
