OpenClaw Cloud

Managed OpenClaw - $19/mo, includes free AI model

OpenClaw Cloud is a managed hosting option positioned around ~$19/month, a bundled AI model allowance, custom URL, and a short trial period. Marketing emphasizes GDPR-friendly hosting, dedicated server resources, and encrypted backups. Verify what is included today on the provider site—model bundles and trial terms change.

What you get

  • Managed Gateway — No SSH or PM2 setup on your side.
  • Included model tier — Reduces initial API setup; heavy use may still incur overages—read their fair-use terms.
  • Custom URL — Easier WebChat and Control UI access than raw IP:port.
  • Backups — Daily encrypted snapshots (confirm retention on their docs).

Who should use it

Good if you want a single monthly bill for hosting plus a starter model allocation and you prefer not to run Linux yourself. Less ideal if you need full root access, custom kernel modules, or on-prem-only data paths—use VPS self-host or BYOS instead.

After signup

  1. Complete provider onboarding and note your Gateway URL.
  2. Connect channels (channels overview).
  3. Review hardening checklist even on managed hosts—pairing and tool profiles still matter.

Who it fits

OpenClaw Cloud suits teams wanting a vendor control plane without provisioning a VPS. Compare RunClaw (transparent Hetzner) and MyClaw (budget containers) first.

Vendor updates

Managed control planes may auto-upgrade OpenClaw. Export backups before their maintenance windows and read release notes on releases so breaking config changes are not a surprise.
