Highest-quality affordable option: Gemini 3.6 Flash at $0.007875/call (1.3x the cost, 76/100 quality). Gemini 3 Flash is already the cheapest choice for copywriting.
Creative generation is output-dominated: a one-line brief produces paragraphs. Output rate is the number to compare, and the gap between tiers widens with length. Brand voice guidelines and examples are resent on every call and never change, which makes them the obvious candidate for caching.
For Gemini 3 Flash specifically, that means output tokens cost 6.0x more than input, at $3.00 vs $0.50 per MTok. At this use case’s 500/2,000 token split, output accounts for 96% of the $0.006250 per-call cost.
| Direction | $/MTok | Tokens per call |
|---|---|---|
| Input | $0.50 | 500 |
| Output | $3.00 | 2,000 |
Caching drops input cost from $0.50 to $0.05/MTok. For repeated system prompts, that saves $0.000225 per call.
Submit requests asynchronously and receive 50% off all token costs. This works best for offline pipelines where latency requirements are flexible.
