Venice is one of the best known uncensored AI services: private inference, its own uncensored model line, and an API with crypto native billing. Its API starts at $0.20 in / $0.90 out per M tokens. People look for alternatives when they want models Venice does not serve, card payments without an account, a different price, or a fallback when one provider is slow.
You do not have to choose
OpenUncensored routes to Venice. 14 of our 61 text models can be served by Venice, 7 of them also by
another host, and when Venice is slow or down the same request goes to another host serving the same weights. One key,
https://api.openuncensored.com/v1, covers Venice's uncensored models and 7 other hosts.
Buy a prepaid key at openuncensored.com/credits: no account, no sign up, just a card and a
key (ou-...). Or hand your agent openuncensored.com/agents.md and let it get one for you.

The response headers name the model and the provider that answered, and you can pin a request to Venice or exclude it
with "routing": {"only": ["venice"]} or {"ignore": ["venice"]}.

Frequently asked questions
Is Venice really uncensored?
Venice markets its models as uncensored and publishes no category block list. Some users report a residual platform system prompt in the Venice app. We measure the models we serve from Venice on the same refusal tests as every other model: see the rankings.
Can I use my Venice credits through OpenUncensored?
No. OpenUncensored bills its own prepaid credits and pays Venice for the requests it routes there. If you already have Venice credits, call Venice directly for those models and use OpenUncensored for the rest.
Which alternative is cheapest?
It depends on the model. For the same weights, providers often differ by a factor of two or more, and agents that resend
long conversations pay mostly the cached input price. Each model page lists every provider's prices
side by side, and the cost routing strategy picks the cheapest automatically.
