Highest-quality affordable option: Claude Sonnet 5 at $0.0370/call (20.0x the cost, 96/100 quality). Claude Haiku 5.5 is already the cheapest choice for security review.

What drives security review cost

Security review is the code task where quality is worth paying for: a missed vulnerability costs more than the entire year's inference bill. Input is large (the code plus the threat context) and output is moderate. This is the clearest case on this list for choosing a top-ranked model over the cheapest viable one, and for not batching away the latency you need in CI.

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 6,000/2,500 token split, output accounts for 68% of the $0.001850 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 $0.000540 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.
