Grok Imagine is the cheaper second of video and stops at 720p; PixVerse V6 Max costs a little more but reaches 1080p, runs to 15 seconds and can add native sound. Grok for many cheap drafts, V6 Max for the cheap clip you actually post.

What 1,000 credits buy
1,000 credits is $4.00. At the cheapest listed rate that is about 166 seconds at 360p on PixVerse V6 Max and about 333 seconds at 480p on Grok Imagine; at the dearest listed rate, about 45 seconds at 1080p and about 175 seconds at 720p. The Lite plan's 800 credits a month are four fifths of that.
A brief written for each
The studio's scene writer works in timed beats with a camera plan and an audio line, and these two briefs are shaped the same way. Paste either into Mint Studio with the model chosen and the price appears on the button.
PixVerse V6 Max
A 12-second clip: a barista pours latte art in slow motion, steam curling, the café hum and a cup set down on the saucer. 1080p, native audio on.
Grok Imagine
A 6-second draft of the same pour, silent, 720p — try three wordings of the latte art before spending on the final.
Using both in one project
Draft cheaply on Grok Imagine until the shot reads right, then render the version you publish on PixVerse V6 Max at 1080p with sound. One Share sends it to TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook and X.
