The cheapest uncensored LLM API: real prices per million tokens

The cheapest uncensored and abliterated models you can call by API, with per token prices, no markup, and which cheap models are actually good according to measured rankings.

Uncensored models are open weight models, so they are cheap to serve. The real costs are hidden: a GPU you rent by the hour, a subscription you forget, or a router that adds a percentage on top. This page lists the cheapest uncensored models you can call by API, with real prices, and which of the cheap ones are actually good.

Best value: cheap and good

Price alone is a trap: a cheap model that loops in agent tasks or still refuses costs you retries. Dividing the OpenUncensored Score by price, the best value models right now are:

  1. Abliterated Large v2: score 62.0 (rank #11), $8.00 per million input plus output tokens.
  2. Qwen 3.8 27B Uncensored Fast by Heabsy: score 66.8 (rank #3), $4.00 per million input plus output tokens.
  3. GLM 5.3 Uncensored: score 63.0 (rank #9), $3.50 per million input plus output tokens.

Why it is cheapest on Open Uncensored

  • No markup. You pay the provider's per token price. Every response says what the request cost.
  • Cheapest provider first. Send "routing": {"strategy": "cost"} and each request goes to the cheapest provider serving those weights, falling back to the next one if it is down.
  • Cached prompts at the cached price. Prompt tokens a provider serves from its cache are billed at its lower rate.
  • Prepaid, no subscription. You load $5 or more, spend it per token, and credits never expire.

Compared with renting a GPU: a 27B model needs one large GPU at roughly $1 to $4 an hour, about $700 to $3,000 a month if it is always on. At the prices above, that buys hundreds of millions of tokens.
