On the Big Bench Audio subset, Qwen Audio 3.0 Realtime Plus costs $4.42 per hour of input audio, slightly above GPT-Realtime-2 High at $4.14 but far below GPT-Realtime-2.1 High at $10.75.

The Flash variant comes out at $4.77 per hour in the benchmark because it generates longer responses, with more output audio tokens than Plus. So despite a lower list price, it can end up costing more in practice.
