Which tier to use
What each costs against standard in our data, and the job it is for.
Batch
The batch tier (claude-haiku-5.5:batch) is 50% cheaper than standard. Batch requests are queued and answered asynchronously, typically within 24 hours, so it suits work nobody is waiting on: evaluations, back-fills, bulk classification and tagging. Anything a user is waiting on belongs on the standard tier.
Aliases
"-latest" names point at whichever release the vendor currently serves, listed at the same price as standard. The price can change under you when the alias moves, so budget against a pinned name.
Direct or through a reseller
Through OpenRouter, claude-haiku-5.5 is the same price as buying direct. A reseller is worth it for one bill across vendors and automatic fallback; buy direct for the vendor's own batch, caching and rate-limit terms.
