The interesting number is usually input tokens, not output, because there's much more of the former in any long-running session (like say coding agents) since all outputs become inputs for the next iteration, and you also have tool calls adding a lot of additional input tokens etc.
It doesn't change your conclusion much though. Kimi K2.5 has almost the same input token pricing as Gemini 3 Flash.
