Best models for SillyTavern: ranked by use, priced per message
15 chat models ordered by calls through the API in the last 7 days, each with the price of one 2K-in / 300-out turn at today's rate, its context window, today's real-model check, and the SillyTavern fields to paste.
Every "best model for SillyTavern" list online ranks by traffic share or by opinion and stops before the two numbers you need: what one message costs and what to type. This one ranks the chat models by calls through the RelaySwitch API in the last 7 days, from the public feed, and prices one 2K-in / 300-out turn on each at the live rate. The same key runs all of them; only the model id changes.
Uncensored and abliterated builds answer a character card as written, with no jailbreak prompt riding along as paid input. The flagships write the longest, most consistent prose and cost more per message. A build marked thinks first spends part of the reply budget on reasoning, so it needs a larger max tokens in SillyTavern.

Top 15 chat models by calls through the API in the last 7 days, feed generated 2026-11-08 06:05 UTC. Prices are USD at the live catalog rate for 2,000 tokens in and 300 out; input $0.282 / output $0.846 per million on the first row. Check is today's real-model canary.
01How this list is ranked
Rank is calls through the API in the last 7 days, read from GET https://api.relayswitch.io/v1/stats/top-models (generated 2026-11-08 06:05 UTC) when this page was built, limited to chat models the catalog lists today. The feed counts every client on the key, from character-chat apps to coding agents; it carries no per-app split, so this is what people run through the same URL you will paste, not a poll of SillyTavern users.
Price is one 2K-in / 300-out turn: the card, persona and recent history in, one reply out, at the catalog rate at render. The check column is today's verdict from the daily real-model check: every model is sent the same canary prompt once a day and its answer is compared with the last one. Nothing on the page is ranked by taste, and no row is sponsored.
02SillyTavern settings for any model on this list
Three values, the same for every row; the model id is the only thing that changes. The block uses the first-ranked id:
Custom Endpoint (Base URL) https://api.relayswitch.io/v1API key sk-relay-...Model glm-5.3-uncensored- Custom Endpoint (Base URL) is
https://api.relayswitch.io/v1, with the/v1and nothing after it; SillyTavern adds/chat/completions. - Context Size is per model: set it at or under the context column, and remember the input side of the price grows with it. The long-chat table below prices a full 32K.
- Max Response Length: 300 to 500 tokens for a plain build; 1,024 to 4,096 for one marked thinks first, because reasoning tokens count against it and bill as output.
- Claude ids also work through the Claude source with
https://api.relayswitch.io/v1as the Proxy Server URL; the SillyTavern guide has both blocks and the samplers the API honours.
The SillyTavern guide has the menu path, the fields as the app labels them, and the errors by code. Keys are prepaid from $10 by card or crypto in the console; a key can be narrowed to a model list with a USD budget.
03What a long chat costs
SillyTavern resends the card, the persona and as much history as the context setting allows with every message, so a reply late in a chat sends far more than 2,000 tokens. The same 300-token reply on the three most-called models at three history sizes:
| Tokens sent per message | GLM-5.3 Uncensored | GLM-5.3 Flash Uncensored | DeepSeek V4.1 Flash Abliterated |
|---|---|---|---|
| 8,000 | $0.0025 | $0.00095 | $0.0073 |
| 16,000 | $0.0048 | $0.0018 | $0.0141 |
| 32,000 | $0.0093 | $0.0035 | $0.0277 |
USD per message at the live rates. The input side is what grows; a model that reports cached input bills those tokens at its cached rate.
The console's Usage page lists every request with its tokens and charge, and each reply carries a signed receipt you can check on the verify page.

Questions
- Which model is best for SillyTavern?
- By use, GLM-5.3 Uncensored (glm-5.3-uncensored): the most-called chat model on this API in the last 7 days, at $0.00082 for one 2K-in / 300-out turn today. By price, GLM-5.3 Flash Uncensored at $0.00032. For prose, the first flagship on the list, Qwen3.6 35B-A3B at $0.004 a message. The table ranks 15 by calls so you can pick by the number that matters to you.
- How is this SillyTavern list ranked?
- By calls through the RelaySwitch API in the last 7 days, from the public feed at https://api.relayswitch.io/v1/stats/top-models, read when the page was built. Chat models only, from every client (the feed has no per-app split). Prices are the live catalog rates; the check column is today's real-model canary from /proof. Nothing is ranked by opinion.
- What does a message cost on SillyTavern with these models?
- From $0.00032 on GLM-5.3 Flash Uncensored to $0.0059 on the dearest row, for one 2K-in / 300-out turn. A $10 top-up covers about 31,142 such messages on GLM-5.3 Flash Uncensored. A long chat resends its history, so the long-chat table prices the same reply at larger history sizes.
- Are there free models for SillyTavern here?
- No free tier on the key: every reply bills its tokens from a prepaid balance that starts at $10, card or crypto, no subscription and no KYC. Before the first top-up the console chat runs 12 free turns a day, enough to try a model before typing it into SillyTavern. The lowest-priced rows cost a fraction of a cent a message.
- What are the SillyTavern settings for a model on this list?
- Custom Endpoint (Base URL) https://api.relayswitch.io/v1, API key sk-relay-..., model id from the table. Every id on the page takes the same three values; only the model changes. The SillyTavern guide on this site has the menu path and the errors by code.
- Does this list cover local GGUF models?
- No. These are API models on one key, used through the Custom (OpenAI-compatible) source. A local model runs on your own GPU and costs nothing per message; the trade is the model size you can fit. The uncensored builds here are the API-side equivalents of the community RP finetunes.
- What Context Size should I set in SillyTavern?
- At or under the model's context column: GLM-5.3 Uncensored lists no published window. A larger Context Size means more tokens in per message; the long-chat table prices the same reply at 8K, 16K and 32K of history.
