My client's first question after deployment: "Is there a way to use this without paying for AI tokens every month?"
Spoiler: yes. But it took me 1-2 hours of digging to figure it out because nobody had documented it.
I'd been using OpenClaw on my local machine for free using OpenRouter's free LLM models. Works great locally. But on a Hostinger VPS? No guides. No YouTube tutorials. Nothing.
So I went ahead and connected OpenRouter to the VPS myself β and now it's running on free AI models.
Client's total costs: just the Hostinger VPS subscription. That's it.
No per-minute charges. No token bills. And if he needs to upgrade to a pro model later, he just tops up his OpenRouter credits.
If you want OpenClaw set up for your business the same way β DM me and I'll help you get it running π
