I interpret “what is the most cost-effective way to help people?” and “How do we most efficiently allocate limited resources to do the most good?” as equivalent.
I think in practice these questions will point people in different ways, not sure. (For example I noticed all the examples your comments mention to be referencing financial costs, which I think is maybe due to suboptimal priming).
