ChatGPT vs Grok for data analysis

On llmwise Pro, GPT-6 Sol gets up to 125 messages a month and Grok 4.7 up to 250 messages a month. ChatGPT is OpenAI's own app for its GPT models; llmwise has GPT models in its own chat, not ChatGPT itself. We ran the same 5 data analysis prompts on all 3 GPT models and Grok's one model and published every reply: the results, then GPT-6 Luna against Grok 4.7 prompt by prompt, then how GPT and Grok compare on price per message, context and files.

Based on 20 of our test runs on , through OpenRouter with the app's own prompt and settings. Updated .

Short answer

In our data analysis test runs on September 27, 2026, GPT's 3 models passed 15 of 15; GPT-6 Astra, GPT-6 Sol, and GPT-6 Luna each passed 5 of 5. Grok's one model passed 5 of 5 ($0.0085 a reply). GPT-6 Luna and Grok 4.7 each passed 5 of the 5 prompts, so these data analysis prompts don't split GPT and Grok; the replies on this page show how they differ.

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.

GPT vs Grok, prompt by prompt

Each data analysis prompt with GPT-6 Luna and Grok 4.7 side by side, as they replied: for each side, the model that passed the most data analysis prompts (then the most hard ones, then the cheaper).

Data analysis: GPT-6 Luna passed 5 of 5 and Grok 4.7 5 of 5. GPT-6 Luna answered 3.8× sooner at the median, 2.5 s against 9.4 s. GPT-6 Luna cost 48.0× less, $0.0009 against $0.0423 for the 5 replies. Grok 4.7's replies ran 60% longer, in tokens of reply, thinking not counted.

Each GPT model against each Grok model

Every GPT model against every Grok model on the same 5 data analysis prompts: passes, the median wait and what the replies cost. A lead under 10% counts as close.

How the data analysis replies are scored

Every GPT and Grok reply above was checked the same way as every other model's, by the rules published with the prompts: how the data analysis prompts are scored, and each one in full.

The differences at a glance

What follows from each model's facts in our catalog.

Where your messages go

In llmwise, a message to GPT goes to its maker, OpenAI, or through OpenRouter when llmwise can't reach the maker directly. Grok models are served only through OpenRouter, by endpoints that don't store or train on prompts. The Privacy Policy has the details.

Questions

Which is better, ChatGPT or Grok for data analysis?

In our data analysis test runs on September 27, 2026, GPT's 3 models passed 15 of 15; GPT-6 Astra, GPT-6 Sol, and GPT-6 Luna each passed 5 of 5. Grok's one model passed 5 of 5 ($0.0085 a reply). GPT-6 Luna and Grok 4.7 each passed 5 of the 5 prompts, so these data analysis prompts don't split GPT and Grok; the replies on this page show how they differ.

Is GPT or Grok cheaper?

In llmwise, the least expensive GPT model is GPT-6 Luna (60 messages a day on Pro), and the least expensive Grok model is Grok 4.7 (250 messages a month on Pro). At API list prices (September 2026), a typical message of 4,000 tokens in and 700 out costs $0.0008 on GPT-6 Luna and $0.0098 on Grok 4.7.

Can I use GPT and Grok in the same chat?

Yes. Ask GPT-6 Luna a question, then switch the picker to Grok 4.7 and ask again: Grok 4.7 sees the whole conversation, GPT-6 Luna's answer included.
