Do not compare unit price alone. Measure quality, average tokens, response speed and failure rate on the same task.
Gemini API pricing
Evaluate Gemini API through a cost lens
Whether Gemini is cost-effective depends on task type, context length, quality requirements and fallback strategy.

Judge model value by output quality, latency and cost together.
Flexible budget
Pay-as-you-go credits are useful for ongoing model experiments.
