$48.00/mo with Grok 3 ($16.00 input + $32.00 output)
Grok 3 is competitively priced against GPT-5.2 and Claude while offering unique real-time knowledge capabilities. The Mini tier is especially compelling at $0.30/$0.50, undercutting most competitors for lightweight tasks. Since xAI is still a relatively young infrastructure provider, pairing Grok with LLMWise failover gives you Grok's strengths with the reliability safety net of falling back to battle-tested providers like OpenAI and Anthropic.
