But isn't the s7 maintenance cost more than double of the s9? Can someone show a screenshot of s7 and s9 earnings and maintenance cost?
When I run it through bitcoinwisdom mining calculator, they are both unprofitable over time but the s9 is closer to breaking even.

No need for screenshots: Yes, the S7's do cost roughly twice the maintenance of S9's. But, currently, you can get roughly
thrice the amount of
hashes when going for S7's, rather than S9's. Hence, and again currently, purchasing the S7's hashes results in a (far) better pay-off than purchasing S9 hashes.
I do not encourage you to purchase S7 hashes over S9's; nor other way around. Just do you due diligence, and make up what strategy best suits you
