Question 1

How much does Groq cost?

Accepted Answer

As of the latest verified sweep (10/21/2026), Groq's GPT OSS 120B tier is listed at $0.15 per 1M tokens (published dimension). VendorSpies does not turn that rate into a monthly estimate without the exact model and billing dimensions required to do the math honestly.

Question 2

What are Groq's API rate limits?

Accepted Answer

Rate limits vary by account tier and model, and vendors adjust them without much notice. Paid VendorSpies accounts can see every tier we've captured for Groq in the history view above, including when a limit last changed — add a free watch on this vendor to get notified the next time it moves.

Question 3

Has Groq increased its prices recently?

Accepted Answer

No verified price change has been detected for Groq yet in VendorSpies' capture history. Check the price history and forecast panel above for the latest snapshot — VendorSpies diffs the vendor's published pricing on every sweep, so a real increase, decrease, or new tier shows up here as soon as it's verified, rather than relying on a vendor's own changelog, which providers don't always update promptly.

Question 4

Is there a cheaper alternative to Groq?

Accepted Answer

Use the comparison page to review Groq alongside other tracked vendors. VendorSpies does not claim that another provider is cheaper until the exact model, billing route, region, usage mix, and capability fit have all been reviewed.

Question 5

What happens if I hit a 429 rate-limit error on Groq?

Accepted Answer

A 429 means you've exceeded the current rate limit for your account tier on Groq — usually resolved by backing off and retrying with exponential backoff, batching requests, or requesting a tier increase from the vendor. If Groq has recently tightened its limits, that's exactly the kind of change VendorSpies tracks and alerts on.

Question 6

How do I get alerted when Groq changes its pricing or rate limits?

Accepted Answer

Add Groq to a free VendorSpies watch and we'll email you the moment a verified change is detected — no need to keep checking the vendor's page yourself. Paid plans add Slack and Microsoft Teams delivery alongside email, so the whole team sees it at once.
