Grok 4.7 vs Qwen-Plus
Updated October 21, 2026. 27 benchmarks have a result for both. Coding is ranked on the Vibe Coding Index; every other board is shown as published.
Decision reading
Only Grok 4.7 has a coding score, 66.7 on the Vibe Coding Index; Qwen-Plus has none, so the two cannot be ranked on coding.
Qwen-Plus has the edge where output tokens cost 7.7x less, and where the context window is larger, 1M against 500K tokens.

What each workload costs
Three fixed token mixes at each model's listed price, so per-token rates become a bill.
Chat turn
1K input + 500 output tokens
Qwen-Plus costs less
Repository review
50K input + 3K output tokens
Qwen-Plus costs less
Agent loop
200K input + 10K output tokens
Qwen-Plus costs less
Listed OpenRouter rates, without cache or batch discounts. A workload that does not fit a model's context window would need splitting.
