How Gemini 2.5 Pro Experimental and Qwen3-Max differ
What the numbers mean in practice when choosing between Gemini 2.5 Pro Experimental and Qwen3-Max.
-
Qwen3-Max is 43% cheaper on input tokens ($0.861 vs $1.5 per million), which adds up quickly in document-heavy workloads.
-
Qwen3-Max is 43% cheaper on output tokens ($3.441 vs $6 per million) - the bigger factor for tools that generate long documents.
-
Gemini 2.5 Pro Experimental's 1.05M tokens context window is roughly 4x larger than Qwen3-Max's 262.1K tokens, so it can work across bigger codebases, contracts, or archives in one pass.

FAQs
Qwen3-Max is generally cheaper: $0.861 input / $3.441 output per million tokens, versus $1.5 / $6 for Gemini 2.5 Pro Experimental. Actual cost depends on how many tokens your workload reads and writes.
Gemini 2.5 Pro Experimental has the larger context window at 1.05M tokens, compared to 262.1K tokens for Qwen3-Max. A larger window means the model can consider more text at once - useful for long contracts, codebases, or months of records.
