GLM 4.7 Flash vs GLM 4.7 FlashX

GLM 4.7 Flash is free to run โ€” nothing for input, nothing for output โ€” while GLM 4.7 FlashX charges $0.07 per 1M for input and $0.40 for output. A single chat turn costs a fraction of a cent on both, so this only becomes real money at volume: a thousand agent loops costs nothing against $14.40.

The two score the same on overall intelligence (Intelligence Index), so there is nothing here to weigh against price โ€” and GLM 4.7 Flash is the cheaper one on all four workloads above.

Standard pay-as-you-go prices, as of 19 Jan 2026. Last updated 15 Oct 2026.
