Quick Answer

Grok Imagine Video 1.5 starts at $0.064 per second on APIMaster, about 20% below xAI's $0.08/s 480p video-output reference. At that starting rate, a 6-second output is $0.384, and 100 such outputs are $38.40, before any applicable extras. Open the exact video model card to check the selected resolution and route quote.

Checked November 9, 2026 (UTC+8). There are 2 enabled, non-exclusive public routes, with displayed base prices of $0.064–$0.12/s. Current price, resolution support and availability follow the live marketplace card. This article is about the video model, not Grok text chat or a consumer subscription.

Model ID Original price APIMaster current price Active routes Discount Model card
grok-imagine-video-1.5 xAI 480p video output $0.08/s From $0.064/s; base-route range $0.064–$0.12/s 2 About 20% below the 480p reference at the starting quote Get Grok video
The comparison uses the 480p output reference. The public API does not expose a resolution-by-resolution tariff for these two routes; do not apply $0.064/s to every supported resolution without checking its quote. The higher displayed base offer exceeds the 480p reference.

Grok Imagine Video 1.5 pricing: 480p, 720p and 1080p

xAI's published pricing separates model versions and resolution. USD per output second below; input images are a separate official charge of $0.01 per image for 1.5.

Model / offer Resolution Price / second Six-second output component Saving at APIMaster's starting quote
APIMaster Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Starting base quote; confirm selected profile $0.064 $0.384 —
xAI Grok Imagine Video 1.5 480p $0.08 $0.48 About 20% lower than the 480p output reference
xAI Grok Imagine Video 1.5 720p $0.14 $0.84 Separate profile; no unverified discount calculation
xAI Grok Imagine Video 1.5 1080p $0.25 $1.50 Separate profile; no unverified discount calculation
xAI Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite 480p $0.02 $0.12 Different model, not a 1.5 discount
A “Grok video from $0.02/s” listing can refer to **1.5 Lite**, not the full 1.5 model. Check the exact ID before treating two offers as comparable. Official support for a resolution does not establish that every reseller route supports it.

What do 100 or 1,000 Grok video clips cost?

These calculations multiply the starting $0.064/s quote by output duration. They are arithmetic budgets for that base offer, not paid generation results. The official comparison is the 480p output component only.

Workload Output seconds Official 480p output budget APIMaster starting-rate budget
One 6-second clip 6 $0.48 $0.384
100 six-second clips 600 $48.00 $38.40
1,000 six-second clips 6,000 $480.00 $384.00
100 ten-second clips 1,000 $80.00 $64.00
APIMaster's documented Grok adapter normalizes requests shorter than **6 seconds** to 6. A 4-second request therefore does not justify a $0.256 budget here. Keep the duration explicit, and confirm longer-duration support on your chosen route.

If you produce two candidates per accepted clip, budget both generated outputs. Reference inputs, additional processing and any route-specific fees can increase totals. Check the final usage record rather than assuming a headline quote covers the entire workflow.

How to get a cheap Grok video API key

Compare the Grok video card → register → fund your wallet → create an API key. Use https://apimaster.ai/v1 and grok-imagine-video-1.5. This documented text-to-video request explicitly selects 480p:

curl "https://apimaster.ai/v1/videos/generations" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "grok-imagine-video-1.5",
    "prompt": "A pelican cycles along a coastal road at sunset, one continuous tracking shot.",
    "duration": 6,
    "resolution": "480p",
    "aspect_ratio": "16:9"
  }'

Save the returned task ID, then query it with the same key:

curl "https://apimaster.ai/v1/videos/YOUR_TASK_ID" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
curl -L "https://apimaster.ai/v1/videos/YOUR_TASK_ID/content" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" -o grok-video.mp4

Download after the task reports completed. A timeout after submission does not prove that generation failed: inspect the existing task before resubmitting. See the Grok Imagine Video 1.5 API reference for response fields and image inputs.

FAQ

Is Grok Imagine Video 1.5 the same as Grok 4.5?

No. grok-imagine-video-1.5 is a video-generation model. Grok 4.5 is a text-model version with different APIs and token billing; see the cheap Grok text API guide.

How much does a six-second Grok video cost?

At the lowest displayed base quote, $0.384 for six output seconds. Confirm the selected resolution and applicable fees in the live card before generating.

Is Grok 1.5 Lite a cheaper route to the same model?

No. xAI lists 1.5 Lite separately. Its $0.02/s 480p price cannot be used to describe a discount on full Grok Imagine Video 1.5.

Can I use an image as the first frame?

The documented APIMaster API accepts public image_urls for image-to-video. Confirm your route's input limits and input charges; the text-only example does not include an image input.
