Decision reading
Neither model has a coding score yet, so the two cannot be ranked on coding.
Qwen-Plus has the edge where output tokens cost 1.6x less, and where the context window is larger, 1M against 256K tokens.
No benchmark has tested both yet. Qwen-Plus has results on LMArena Text: coding, LMArena Text: software and IT and GPQA Diamond (Epoch AI run); Relace Apply 3 has none yet. Compare them on price and context instead.

Benchmark by benchmark
Every board either model has a result on, a category to a fold; bars are each result on a 0 to 100 scale. Only one model is measured on each, so no row names a leader.

What each workload costs
Three fixed token mixes at each model's listed price, so per-token rates become a bill.
Chat turn
1K input + 500 output tokens
Qwen-Plus costs less
Repository review
50K input + 3K output tokens
Qwen-Plus costs less
Agent loop
200K input + 10K output tokens
Qwen-Plus costs less
Listed OpenRouter rates, without cache or batch discounts. A workload that does not fit a model's context window would need splitting.
