How Claude Haiku 5.5 compares on cost

Per-call cost for all models scoring 50+ on bug detection benchmarks. Hover for details.

Highest-quality affordable option: Claude Sonnet 5 at $0.0300/call (20.0x the cost, 96/100 quality). Claude Haiku 5.5 is already the cheapest choice for bug detection.

What drives bug detection cost

Bug detection sends a file and gets back a short list of suspected defects, so input dominates and output stays small. That makes it cheap per call and tempting to run continuously, which is the real cost driver: frequency, not per-call price. Caching the unchanged parts of the codebase and running only on changed files is worth more than switching models.

For Claude Haiku 5.5 specifically, that means output tokens cost 5.0x more than input, at $0.50 vs $0.10 per MTok. At this use case’s 5,000/2,000 token split, output accounts for 67% of the $0.001500 per-call cost.

Prompt caching: 90% off input tokens

Caching drops input cost from $0.10 to $0.01/MTok. For repeated system prompts, that saves $0.000450 per call.

Batch API: 50% off all tokens

Submit requests asynchronously and receive 50% off all token costs. This works best for offline pipelines where latency requirements are flexible.
