Pricing FAQ
Is OpenClaw free?
Yes! OpenClaw is open-source and free to self-host. You only pay for your AI provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.) and any hosting costs. Our managed service offers a free tier and paid plans for those who want a hassle-free experience.
How much does self-hosting cost?
Typical self-hosting costs range from $10-50/month total. This includes a small VPS ($5-12/month) plus AI API costs ($5-50/month depending on usage). Many users run OpenClaw on a Raspberry Pi at home for near-zero hosting costs.
What AI providers can I use?
OpenClaw works with OpenAI (GPT-4, GPT-3.5), Anthropic (Claude), Google (Gemini), OpenRouter (100+ models), and local models via Ollama. Each provider has different pricing.
Why choose managed hosting over self-hosting?
Managed hosting means no setup, no maintenance, automatic updates, and expert support. It's ideal for non-technical users, busy professionals, or anyone who values their time. Self-hosting is great for developers who want full control.
Can I switch from self-hosted to managed?
Yes! We offer migration assistance to move your configuration, memory, and skills to our managed platform. Your conversations and customizations transfer seamlessly.
