How to read this
Gemini 3.7 Flash is cheaper on the majority of these workloads, but "majority" is not the decision. The output:input price ratio is 5.0 for Claude Haiku 4.5 and 5.0 for Gemini 3.7 Flash. If your traffic is output-heavy — long-form drafting, translation — the model with the lower output price wins regardless of what the input price suggests. If you are input-heavy — RAG, bulk summarization, agents re-reading a codebase — the cached input rate matters more than either headline number.
Cost is also not the only axis. This site does not benchmark quality, latency, or rate limits, and a model that is 3x cheaper but needs two attempts per task is not cheaper. Use these numbers to size a bill, then validate on your own evals.
