The cheapest solution meeting Standard requirements costs a median of ~$5 per million source characters in tier 1 and ~$550 where three steps are needed.
Where two-step solutions are enough, the median time of the fastest qualifying solution is ~160 seconds per 1,000 source words. Three-step solution times include an estimate for the LQA step, with its requests sent in parallel.
