Highest-quality affordable option: Claude Haiku 4.5 at $0.005000/call (1.8x the cost, 88/100 quality). Gemini 3 Flash is already the cheapest choice for invoice parsing.
What drives invoice parsing cost
Invoices are short, highly repetitive documents processed in bulk: the ideal batch API workload. Per-document cost is low; total cost is set by volume and by whether you are paying full rate for a job that could have run asynchronously overnight at a discount. The extraction schema is constant, so it should never be paying full input rate either.
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 2,000/600 token split, output accounts for 64% of the $0.002800 per-call cost.

Standard token rates
| Direction | $/MTok | Tokens per call |
|---|---|---|
| Input | $0.50 | 2,000 |
| Output | $3.00 | 600 |
Prompt caching: 90% off input tokens
Caching drops input cost from $0.50 to $0.05/MTok. For repeated system prompts, that saves $0.000900 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.
