hosting free agents openclaw deployment payg beta

Summary

OpenClaw now offers completely free hosting with one-click deploy and PAYG token pricing, making it easier for developers to build with agents without managing setup or ops.

Wanted to make something useful for people building with agents, especially anyone interested in OpenClaw but not interested in dealing with setup, hosting, updates, or the ops side. So we made OpenClaw hosting easy and free. It’s one-click deploy, you can spin up an instance in a few minutes, and you get access to leading closed and open-source LLMs. There’s no hosting subscription, it’s fully PAYG, and you just pay for the tokens your agents use. It’s still beta on our side, but it’s live now if anyone wants to try it. If you already have a self-hosted setup you like, great. But if the setup wall has been stopping you from playing with OpenClaw, hopefully this helps. Link in comments
