# OpenClaw VPS Pricing

Last reviewed: 2026-05-08

Private server. Web chat and Telegram. BYOK. $20/month after the 7-day trial.

## Short Answer

Your first bot starts with a 7-day Pro trial. After trial, each kept bot is capped at $20/month. The bill is based on how long the bot stays hosted until it is destroyed.

## What Hosting Includes

- One private server per hosted bot.
- Public web chat.
- Telegram.
- Private tailnet web chat for paid bots.
- Monitoring, updates, and recovery help.
- Human support for setup, billing, channels, monitoring, and recovery.

## What Is Separate

Model usage is separate. BYOK means you bring your own AI provider key and pay that provider directly for model usage.

## Hosted Minutes

Destroying a bot stops future hosted-minute billing for that bot. Paused hosted bots still count because server resources still exist.

## Not Bundled

- Model-provider usage.
- Slack, Discord, WhatsApp, or iMessage channel hosting.
- Bundled AI credits.
- Raw server administration for unrelated workloads.
