List price, 11 September 2026 Today's price

Grok 4.5 bills $2 for a million input tokens and $6 for a million output tokens. A page of text is a few thousand tokens, so most of what you do in a browser costs cents, not dollars.

At list price a $20 month buys about 2,000 long-article summaries. You are not buying a month, though. You pay for the tokens each job uses, and the rest of your OpenRouter balance just sits there.

The extension asks OpenRouter for the fastest route, which can be a provider's priority tier rather than the one this receipt is priced on. When that tier wins, the same three jobs cost about twice what you see here, and your OpenRouter activity page shows what you were actually charged.

Grok 4.5, answered

Is Grok 4.5 available in UtilEngine today?

Yes. It is in the list as grok-4.5 and calls x-ai/grok-4.5 through OpenRouter with OpenRouter's :nitro speed routing.

What does Grok 4.5 cost through UtilEngine?

Nothing beyond the one-time $49 for the extension. OpenRouter lists Grok 4.5 at $2 per million input tokens and $6 per million output, so most single page jobs land under a cent. The extension routes for speed, so a faster provider can serve the request at up to $4 per million in and $12 out. Each reply shows the tokens it used.

Do I need an xAI account?

No. The OpenRouter key you already use for the other models covers Grok 4.5 too, and OpenRouter handles the billing.

Can I use Grok 4.5 for one command and a cheaper model for another?

Yes. Every AI command carries its own model, so Grok 4.5 can answer questions about a page while Summarize stays on the cheap default.

Does the AI act on pages?

No. Every tool in the kit reads, and none of them write. Each call shows as a chip in the thread, and the model never clicks, types or submits anything.
