What you need to know about Uncensored
Uncensored was released by Cognitive Computations on July 9, 2025. It accepts text as input and produces text. Its context window reaches 128,000 tokens, larger than 19 % of the models in the registry, and it can write up to 8,192 tokens in one go.
It has been available for about 16 months, long enough for its prices and scores to have settled.
Uncensored pricing
On OpenRouter, Uncensored costs $0.2 per million input tokens and $0.9 per million output tokens. Counting three tokens read for every token written, its average price is $0.375 per million, more expensive than 32 % of paid models (2 times cheaper than the median of $0.76).
A concrete example: a task that sends 2,000 tokens (about 1,500 words) and receives a 500-token answer costs $0.0009. At 1,000 tasks a day, budget $26 a month. The price calculator redoes this with your own volumes.
