UplinkSwitch
A relay API gateway service that provides an OpenAI-compatible protocol, uniformly distributing uncensored role-playing models and third-party models such as the DeepSeek series.
Timeline (last 90 days)
The Gemini model prices offered by UplinkSwitch are lower than Google's official list prices; for example, Gemini 4 Argon is 70% lower for both input and output, and Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview and Gemini 3.8 Flash are both 40% lower.
UplinkSwitch provides an interface compatible with the OpenAI SDK; you only need to point base_url at its endpoint and fill in the key to call all Gemini models.
The UplinkSwitch aggregation platform resells API quota below Anthropic's official list prices, with discounts concentrated on the output side (about 70%).
Claude Haiku 5.5 is the cheapest of the 12 models, at $0.06 input and $0.15 output (UplinkSwitch actual price).
Claude Opus 5.5's actual price on UplinkSwitch is $2.10 input and $6.00 output, versus the official $4.00 and $20.00—47% lower on input and 70% lower on output.
Aggregation platforms may differ from direct official connections in rate limits and feature completeness (such as caching and batching), and critical production environments should evaluate SLA and compliance.
The original methodology specifies: list prices are read from developers' official pricing pages, percentages are rounded down, and 0% means flat or higher than the list price; dated snapshot versions and different effort variants are merged into the base model, and models without official list pricing as well as third-party modified versions are excluded.
The UplinkSwitch aggregation platform extracted 66 chat models from 11 developers with official list prices from the real-time catalog of its own API gateway; all 66 models are below official list prices on both input and output sides, with the largest price difference reaching 95%.
The original text notes: when citing this index, one should cite the index data source rather than this article, because prices change in real time with each request.
