Wow, so the community so far is showing a split in opinions to which is cheaper without a very clear answer.

If you have to know I said Ethereum on average is cheaper, which some are agreeing, and others even here are disagreeing.
This is not a matter of opinions. The community is not split.

There a few people here who are spreading misinformation , that's all. You are included in these people.

The data is open. Just look at etherscan.io and mempool.space and check is 1 usd is bigger than 0.03 usd

I can see 3-10 cent transactions on Bitcoin, but on blockchain explorer I'm often seeing them over $1+

I might have gotten a bit dated on this information, but now I'm having a hard time finding a very clear cut answer.

If you want to make a 0.03-0.10 usd transaction, just make a transaction from your wallet with 1 sat/vbyte fee.

Then why are all the sites showing Bitcoin costs $1-$3 to send. Cashapp for example hovers around $2 to get a 10 minute transaction, or $1 for a 2 hour transaction. Coinbase is a bit cheaper usually hovering around $1

Since when can you send BTC for 3 cents?

You cannot blame the network for using an expensive third party service. You are paying coinbase fees,  not bitcoin fees.

Your spreading misinformation saying the community isn't split because it appears to be so in every argument.

I can see people paying cents to send Bitcoin, but I also see even more sending $1+
