Grok Imagine Pricing 2026

Grok Imagine is a premium video & animation tool that offers 6 key features including Text-to-image generation inside the Grok app and X, Image-to-video animation with generated audio/sound effects in the same flow, Minimal content restrictions compared to Midjourney, DALL-E, and Sora. Grok Imagine is xAI's text-to-image and text-to-video generator, built directly into X and the Grok app. It generates images from text prompts and can animate any generated or uploaded image into a short video clip complete with generated sound, all without leaving the X ecosystem. Its defining trait isn't raw output quality but how few restrictions it places on generated content compared to Midjourney, DALL-E, or Sora — it will render recognizable public figures, copyrighted characters, and brand imagery that most competitors block by default. That looser moderation, including a widely reported 'spicy' image mode, drew significant media and regulatory backlash in 2025, and while xAI has since tightened some guardrails, moderation remains notably looser than rival platforms.
