Pros & Cons

Baseten

  • Fills a real gap between fully managed foundation APIs and raw self-managed infrastructure
  • Removes significant operational overhead for teams running custom or open-source models
  • Autoscaling and cold-start optimization address real production reliability concerns
  • Developer infrastructure tool, not relevant to non-technical users
  • Only useful for teams that actually have a custom or open-source model to deploy
  • Requires comparing costs against self-managed infrastructure for a team’s specific scale

Gemini

  • Deeply integrated across Google’s broader ecosystem (Search, Workspace, Android)
  • Ultra tier pricing was reduced from its original $250/month, improving accessibility
  • API pricing offers genuinely low-cost options (Flash-Lite at $0.10/million tokens) for cost-sensitive applications
  • Full Workspace integration requires at least Business Standard ($14/user/month), not available on cheaper Workspace tiers
  • Credit-based system layered on top of tier usage limits adds complexity to understanding real usage capacity
  • Ultra tier’s $99.99-$199.99/month range represents significant cost for maximum usage limits and Deep Think access
