Cheapest viable option: GPT 5.6 Luna at $0.004000/call (60% less, 84/100 quality).
Transcripts are long and low-density (an hour of conversation is a lot of tokens carrying comparatively little information) while the notes that come back are short. That ratio makes this a strong fit for a fast-tier model plus the batch API: notes rarely need to exist within seconds of the meeting ending, and batch discounts apply to the whole request.
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 8,000/2,000 token split, output accounts for 60% of the $0.0100 per-call cost.
| Direction | $/MTok | Tokens per call |
|---|---|---|
| Input | $0.50 | 8,000 |
| Output | $3.00 | 2,000 |
Caching drops input cost from $0.50 to $0.05/MTok. For repeated system prompts, that saves $0.003600 per call.
Submit requests asynchronously and receive 50% off all token costs. This works best for offline pipelines where latency requirements are flexible.

A typical meeting notes call using Gemini 3 Flash costs about $0.0100 per call. This estimate uses 8,000 input tokens and 2,000 output tokens at standard rates. Standard rates are $0.50 per million input tokens and $3.00 per million output tokens.
Gemini 3 Flash scores 83 out of 100 on meeting notes benchmarks overall. It ranks #5 across all 20 models in our cross-provider registry. The highest-ranked model for this task is GPT 5.6 Terra from GPT. That model scores 92/100 on this task type. Confidence scores are a third-party benchmark snapshot from week 29 of 2026. This snapshot is 8 weeks old, so treat the scores as directional and validate against your own evals.
The most affordable model for meeting notes above 80/100 quality is GPT 5.6 Luna. It comes from GPT at $0.20 per million input tokens. Output costs $1.20 per million tokens with a quality score of 84/100. Switching from Gemini 3 Flash to GPT 5.6 Luna saves about 60% per API call.
Three strategies lower Gemini 3 Flash costs for this task type effectively. Prompt caching gives a 90% discount on input tokens when reusing system prompts. The batch API gives 50% off all tokens for asynchronous processing workloads. Prompt optimization reduces token counts through more concise instructions and context windows. Combining caching with batching brings your cost from $0.0100 to about $0.000500 per call.
Gemini has 3 other models alongside Gemini 3 Flash today: Gemini 3.1 Pro at $2.00/$12.00 per million tokens (mid-tier), Gemini 3.5 Flash at $1.50/$9.00 per million tokens (fast / budget), Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite at $0.30/$2.50 per million tokens (fast / budget). The right choice depends on whether your meeting notes workload prioritizes quality, cost, or speed.
Gemini 3 Flash supports a context window of 1,000K tokens per API call. This sets the maximum combined length of your input prompt and generated response. For meeting notes, typical calls use 8,000 input and 2,000 output tokens. That is well within this limit, leaving room for longer prompts or multi-turn conversations.
