# Cost: ~$0.003200 per call at standard rates
# Input: $1.00/MTok
# Output: $2.00/MTokPer-call cost for all models scoring 50+ on invoice parsing benchmarks. Hover for details.
Cheapest viable option: GPT 5.6 Luna at $0.001120/call (65% less, 89/100 quality).
Invoices are short, highly repetitive documents processed in bulk: the ideal batch API workload. Per-document cost is low; total cost is set by volume and by whether you are paying full rate for a job that could have run asynchronously overnight at a discount. The extraction schema is constant, so it should never be paying full input rate either.
For Grok Build 0.1 specifically, that means output tokens cost 2.0x more than input, at $2.00 vs $1.00 per MTok. At this use case’s 2,000/600 token split, output accounts for 38% of the $0.003200 per-call cost.
| Direction | $/MTok | Tokens per call |
|---|---|---|
| Input | $1.00 | 2,000 |
| Output | $2.00 | 600 |
Caching drops input cost from $1.00 to $0.20/MTok. For repeated system prompts, that saves $0.001600 per call.
Submit requests asynchronously and receive 50% off all token costs. This works best for offline pipelines where latency requirements are flexible.

A typical invoice parsing call using Grok Build 0.1 costs about $0.003200 per call. This estimate uses 2,000 input tokens and 600 output tokens at standard rates. Standard rates are $1.00 per million input tokens and $2.00 per million output tokens.
Our benchmark data does not yet include a invoice parsing ranking for Grok Build 0.1. We recommend testing it against your own evaluation criteria before production usage.
The most affordable model for invoice parsing above 80/100 quality is GPT 5.6 Luna. It comes from GPT at $0.20 per million input tokens. Output costs $1.20 per million tokens with a quality score of 89/100. Switching from Grok Build 0.1 to GPT 5.6 Luna saves about 65% per API call.
Three strategies lower Grok Build 0.1 costs for this task type effectively. Prompt caching gives a 80% discount on input tokens when reusing system prompts. The batch API gives 50% off all tokens for asynchronous processing workloads. Prompt optimization reduces token counts through more concise instructions and context windows. Combining caching with batching brings your cost from $0.003200 to about $0.000320 per call.
Grok has 3 other models alongside Grok Build 0.1 today: Grok 4.6 at $2.00/$6.00 per million tokens (flagship), Grok 4.5 at $2.00/$6.00 per million tokens (flagship), Grok 4.3 at $1.25/$2.50 per million tokens (mid-tier). The right choice depends on whether your invoice parsing workload prioritizes quality, cost, or speed.
Grok Build 0.1 supports a context window of 256K tokens per API call. This sets the maximum combined length of your input prompt and generated response. For invoice parsing, typical calls use 2,000 input and 600 output tokens. That is well within this limit, leaving room for longer prompts or multi-turn conversations.
