Both are measures of efficiency, that is, the benefits relative to the invested costs. Cost–benefit analysis monetizes the impacts or outcomes. Cost-effectiveness analysis does not attempt to put the benefits of an action in dollar terms; it assumes that benefits will occur using the alternatives and may select an alternative based on the least cost.
