Cloud FAQ
Common questions about the managed path.
This page exists to remove buying friction without fragmenting the brand story or duplicating the educational pages.
Is Cloud a separate product from OpenClawAI?
No. Cloud is presented as the easiest managed path inside the same OpenClawAI brand and domain architecture.
Who should still self-host?
Builders who want maximum control, custom infrastructure, and direct ownership over deployment details should still self-host.
Why does Cloud exist if OpenClaw is open?
Because many users value outcomes, onboarding speed, and less maintenance more than owning infrastructure from day one.
How should I evaluate whether Cloud is worth it?
Compare the time and complexity you save against a self-host setup, then review the directory and guides to understand the trade-offs clearly.
