Grok Imagine Alternatives
Generated on PixelDojo with Grok Image (fast tier). Produced by PixelDojo's generation pipeline.
You do not have to leave the Grok Imagine models behind to leave the app they usually live in. PixelDojo carries six Grok entries, image and video, inside a catalog of 144 models on one subscription and one API key. We ran the fast image tier here on August 26, 2026 to put a number on it: 1 credit, about 17 seconds, a 1280 by 720 frame kept on the first try. That single run is the whole argument. The models you already like become one line item next to 138 others, and the ones you have not tried are a single string change away.

What the run says about swapping apps rather than models
What one credit bought
A 1280 by 720 frame at 261 KB, returned in about 17 seconds. Stacked cantilevered concrete slabs with visible board forming, low golden light raking the top slab, deep cool shadow thrown across an empty plaza, dark ribbon windows set back under the overhangs. A single helmeted cyclist crosses the foreground with a long shadow behind. The brief asked for a cyclist and got exactly one, in scale, not a crowd.
The image tiers, priced
Fast is 1 credit per image and is what we ran. The quality tier is 2 credits at 1k and 3 credits at 2k for sharper detail and stronger text rendering. Grok Imagine 2 is its own tier at 2 credits per image. Output count multiplies the price, nothing else does.
Video is priced by the second
Grok Video is 2 credits per second at 480p or 720p, from 1 to 15 seconds, in text to video or image to video. The 1.5 version is image to video only. A ten second 720p clip is 20 credits on the same balance as the images.
References, edits, and extensions are their own entries
Grok R2V takes 1 to 7 reference images and makes clips of 1 to 10 seconds. Grok Imagine Video Extend continues an existing mp4 with a prompt directed extension of 2 to 10 seconds. Grok Image Edit and Grok Video Edit handle the fixing pass.
The alternatives sit on the same shelf
If the question is really which model to use, the catalog answers it without a second signup. Flux 2 Klein 4B is 0.1 credits, Z Image Turbo is 0.5, Flux and Qwen Image 2.0 are 1, Seedream 5 is 2.5, and Nano Banana Pro is 3. Draft cheap, finish expensive.
Rights settled on every plan
Generated content carries full commercial rights on every plan, with no extra licensing step and no per model check before you put a frame in an ad.
One measured run made for this page: Grok Image on the fast tier, 1 credit, about 17 seconds from request to finished file, 1280 by 720.
Why Choose Pixel Dojo for Grok Imagine Alternatives
Professional-quality results with cutting-edge AI technology
Grok Imagine is in the catalog, not replaced by it
Grok Image, Grok Image Edit, Grok Video, Grok Video Edit, Grok R2V, and Grok Imagine Video Extend are six separate entries. Moving platforms does not mean losing the model.
Credits you can do arithmetic on
The fast image tier is 1 credit per image and video is 2 credits per second. A six second clip is 12 credits, before you have opened a calculator.
App, API, and agent on one key
Every entry is also a REST call at /api/v1/models/{apiId}/run, and the hosted MCP server lets a coding agent generate on its own. No second account for programmatic access.
How It Works
How the frame on this page was made, start to finish:
Choose the tier before the prompt
Fast, quality, and Grok Imagine 2 are separate settings on the same entry. Picking fast is what made the job cost 1 credit instead of 2 or 3.
Name the one thing the frame must contain
Our prompt asked for long dramatic shadows and a cyclist in the foreground. Both landed on the first generation, with a single cyclist at believable scale.
Run it in the app or over the API
Generate from the tool page, or POST the prompt to /api/v1/models/xai-image/run. Ours took about 17 seconds and returned a 1280 by 720 file.
The Pixel Dojo Advantage
Grok Imagine is a fast, capable model family and this table is not a swipe at it. It compares two shapes: one app built around one family, and a catalog where that family is one option among many on a shared balance.
| Others | Pixel Dojo |
|---|---|
| Clips of roughly six to fifteen seconds at 720p, generated in about thirty seconds | Grok Video here runs 1 to 15 seconds at 480p or 720p for 2 credits per second, so a six second clip is 12 credits |
| Native audio produced alongside the video, no post pass | The same audio behaviour, plus other native audio video models in the catalog such as VEO 3.1 and Kling Video v3 on the same credits |
| Images from photorealistic to stylized inside the same family | Grok Image at 1 credit on the fast tier, next to Flux 2, Seedream 5, Qwen Image 2.0, and Nano Banana Pro when a frame wants a different look |
| Grok Imagine 2 accepts image, audio, and video references together | Grok Imagine 2 is a selectable tier at 2 credits, and Grok R2V takes up to seven reference images for a reference driven clip |
| Generation happens inside the app you sign in to | A browser app, a documented REST API on one key, and a hosted MCP server so an agent can run the same jobs |
| One family to price and one family to learn | 144 models on one credit balance, from a 0.1 credit draft to a 12 credit hero clip, with no second subscription in between |
| Usage rights follow the plan you are on in the app | Full commercial rights on generated content on every plan, with no per model licence check |

Common Questions
Everything you need to know about Grok Imagine Alternatives
Is there an alternative that still gives me the Grok Imagine models?
Yes. PixelDojo lists six Grok entries: Grok Image, Grok Image Edit, Grok Video, Grok Video Edit, Grok R2V, and Grok Imagine Video Extend. They run in the app and over the API on the same key as every other model.
What does a Grok Imagine image cost here, and how fast is it?
Our August 26, 2026 run charged 1 credit on the fast tier and finished in about 17 seconds at 1280 by 720. The quality tier is 2 credits at 1k and 3 at 2k, and Grok Imagine 2 is 2 credits per image.
How is Grok Imagine video priced?
2 credits per second, from 1 to 15 seconds, at 480p or 720p, in text to video or image to video. A six second clip is 12 credits and a ten second clip is 20. The 1.5 version runs image to video only.
Can I extend or edit a clip I already have?
Yes. Grok Imagine Video Extend continues an existing mp4 with a prompt directed extension of 2 to 10 seconds, and Grok Video Edit handles changes to a finished clip. Grok R2V builds a new clip from 1 to 7 reference images.
What should I try instead when the fast tier misses?
Stay on the same balance and change the id. Z Image Turbo is 0.5 credits for a quick alternate take, Seedream 5 is 2.5 when the scene has to carry detail, and Nano Banana Pro is 3 when the frame will feed an edit chain.
How do I call it from code or from an agent?
POST to /api/v1/models/xai-image/run with your API key and a prompt. The request shape is the same across all 144 models, and the hosted MCP server exposes the same catalog to clients like Claude Code and Cursor.
