Every uncensored and abliterated model, on one OpenAI-compatible key, from $0.084 per million tokens.

Uncensored and abliterated builds usually mean a separate host, a separate account and a separate balance for each one. Here they sit on the same key and base URL as Claude, GPT and Gemini, so switching is a change to the model string.

Per million tokens, input / output:

• GLM-5.3 Flash Uncensored (glm-5.3-flash-uncensored): $0.084 / $0.084

• GLM-5.3 Uncensored (glm-5.3-uncensored): $0.18 / $0.18

• Roleplay Uncensored (roleplay-uncensored): $0.30 / $0.60 (list $1 / $2)

• GLM-5.3 Flash Abliterated (glm-5.3-flash-abliterated): $0.66 / $0.66

• DeepSeek V4 Pro Uncensored (deepseek-v4-pro-uncensored): $0.75 / $0.75

• GLM-5.3 Abliterated (glm-5.3-abliterated): $2.25 / $2.25

Abliterated builds have the refusal direction projected out of the weights. Uncensored builds are fine-tuned instead. They answer differently, so run both on your own prompts before you pick one.

Anything that takes an OpenAI-compatible endpoint works: SillyTavern (Chat Completion, Custom source), Open WebUI, LibreChat, or your own code. Base URL: https://api.uplinkswitch.com/v1

Every request gets a usage record with its token counts and the charge.

What one late-session Claude Code turn costs: 80,000 cached tokens, 2,000 new input, 1,500 output. On Sonnet 5.5 that is $0.035 at list and $0.0165 on UplinkSwitch. Step away past the five-minute cache and the same turn is $0.10.

The full breakdown is a four-lesson course: whop.com/uplinkswitch-0fbc/claude-code-api-billing/

Claude Code on UplinkSwitch: one real turn, recorded today.

Two environment variables, then claude-sonnet-5-5 adds type hints and a docstring to a file. The console shows the 4 requests that turn made, each with its tokens and charge.

That turn cost $0.0551. The same tokens at list price: $0.0981. 44% less, billed per token from a prepaid balance.

Gemini 4 Argon is live on UplinkSwitch: $0.60 in / $3.00 out per million tokens. Google lists it at $2.00 / $10.00, so that is 70% under list.

Same model id, gemini-4-argon, on an OpenAI-compatible endpoint at api.uplinkswitch.com/v1. One key for Claude, GPT, Gemini and Grok, prepaid, no subscription.

Claude Code on a prepaid balance takes two environment variables: ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=https://api.uplinkswitch.com/v1 and ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN=sk-uplink-…. Same tool, billed per token, Claude Sonnet 5.5 at $1.20 in and $3.00 out per million tokens against a $2 and $10 list price.

Two ways to stretch a balance.

Referrals: your link is on the Referrals page of the console. You get 10% of every top-up a referred account makes in its first 12 months, credited as balance when their payment clears, no cap. They get $5 of balance on their first top-up of $20 or more. Details: https://uplinkswitch.com/referrals

Gift cards: packs of 1 to 50 cards, $10 to $500 each, bought from the console in one checkout. Built for hackathons, classes and giveaways; the codes are shown only to the buyer, never emailed. Whoever redeems one gets the value on their balance: https://uplinkswitch.com/gift

Both are tracked in the ledger like any other credit, so a refund or dispute on the original payment reverses them too.

How billing works, in one post.

Prepaid balance, minimum top-up $10, no subscription. Top-ups are not refundable; unused balance stays on your account while it is open.

Metered models are charged per million tokens at the price on the Models page, using the token counts the provider reports. Prices are shown before you send: paste a prompt on the Models page and it is priced for every model, cheapest first. Bring-your-own-key routing (your own Anthropic, OpenAI or Google key stored with us) is $0.001 per successful request.

A request that fails before it reaches the provider, or that the provider does not answer, is not charged.

Every request has a usage record in the console: model, token counts by class, charge and a request id. The same id comes back in the x-uplink-request-id header. Quote it to hello@uplinkswitch.com and we trace what happened and what it was billed.

Receipts are signed and verifiable: https://uplinkswitch.com/proof

Claude Code on a prepaid balance: two environment variables.

export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL="https://api.uplinkswitch.com/v1"

export ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN="sk-uplink-live-..."

claude

Same tool, same models (claude-opus-5-5, claude-sonnet-5-5, claude-haiku-5-5), billed per token from your UplinkSwitch balance instead of a subscription. The model variables in settings.json take any Claude id from the Models page. To go back to your own account: unset ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN.
