OpenClaw, hosted and always on for $9.99 a month.
The open-source OpenClaw agent on a private managed VM. Message it from Telegram, WhatsApp, or Signal. It runs while you sleep. Needs the Pro plan.
Deploy OpenClawOpenClaw is the open-source agent you message like a contact. It runs a persistent daemon with a heartbeat scheduler, so routines fire on time whether you're online or not. That only works on a machine that never sleeps, which is exactly what your laptop is not.
Hivra runs OpenClaw on a private managed VM. The Control UI runs exactly as the project ships it, behind an authenticated gateway. Wire up Telegram, WhatsApp, or Signal inside it, set a heartbeat, and the agent keeps working after you close the tab. A managed model option is seeded at launch so it responds immediately; switch to your own provider in the Control UI any time.
Dedicated OpenClaw hosting typically runs $29 to $49 a month elsewhere. On Hivra it needs the Pro plan at $9.99 a month, which also covers up to 3 agents on 2 vCPU and 4 GB RAM.
- The open-source OpenClaw agent, unmodified, on a private VM.
- Reach it from Telegram, WhatsApp, Signal, and more.
- Heartbeat scheduler runs routines unattended, around the clock.
How it works
- 1Pick OpenClaw on the get-started page. It needs the Pro plan at $9.99 a month. Name the box and launch.
- 2Hivra provisions a private VM. Your box comes up in a few minutes with OpenClaw's Control UI behind an authenticated gateway.
- 3Connect your channels. Open the Control UI and wire up Telegram, WhatsApp, or Signal. A managed model option is already seeded; swap in your own provider if you prefer.
- 4Set routines and walk away. Heartbeat tasks run on schedule. The agent stays reachable from your phone, day and night.
Self-hosted vs managed, honestly
- Self-hosting works: a VPS, the OpenClaw install, a gateway you secure, and updates you apply by hand.
- Hivra provisions the box in a few minutes, keeps the daemon running, and restarts it when it crashes.
- Either way you run the same open-source project, with your own channels and your own credentials.
- An always-on VPS costs $5 to $10 a month before your time. Pro is $9.99 and includes up to 3 agents.
How much does OpenClaw hosting cost on Hivra?
OpenClaw needs the Pro plan at $9.99 a month. That covers an always-on box (1 vCPU and 2 GB RAM for OpenClaw, 2 vCPU and 4 GB with the browser on) plus up to 3 agents total. Dedicated OpenClaw hosts typically charge $29 to $49 a month for the same job.
Is this an official OpenClaw product?
No. Hivra hosts the open-source OpenClaw agent (MIT-licensed) unmodified on a private VM. The Control UI runs exactly as the project ships it. Hivra is an independent hosting service and isn't affiliated with or endorsed by the OpenClaw project.
What do I need to bring?
A Pro plan and about five minutes. A managed model option is seeded at launch so the agent responds immediately. You connect messaging channels inside the Control UI with your own accounts, and you can switch to your own model provider there too. Hivra never sees or stores those credentials.
What happens when I close my laptop?
Nothing stops. The agent daemon and heartbeat scheduler run on a managed cloud VM, not your machine. Routines fire on schedule and your messaging channels stay live.
Can OpenClaw use a browser on Hivra?
Yes, optionally. The box ships a live self-hosted browser OpenClaw can attach to. You log into your accounts in a live view and the agent acts in that session. Turning it on adds 1 vCPU and 2 GB RAM to the box.
Why not just self-host OpenClaw on a VPS?
You can, and our self-hosting guide walks through it. You'll manage the VPS, the install, updates, and uptime yourself. Hivra does that part for $9.99 a month, less than most dedicated OpenClaw hosts charge.
