## $ Does X Search (Grok) have a free tier?

No. X Search (Grok) does not offer a meaningful free tier — entry requires payment (pay-as-you-go or a plan). We mark this explicitly rather than showing a misleading zero.

## $ How much does X Search (Grok) cost per 1M tokens?

X Search (Grok) does not publish simple per-1M-token pricing (it may bill per request, per output, or via a subscription plan). Check their official pricing page for exact figures.
