How Billing Works (Per-Instance)

Overview

AgentClaw uses a simple per-instance subscription model. Each AI agent instance requires its own subscription.

Pricing

• Monthly Plan: $9.99 per instance per month
• Yearly Plan: $99.99 per instance per year ($8.33/month, save 17%)

All features are included in both plans with no limitations.

Per-Instance Billing

If you run multiple instances:

• Each instance has its own subscription
• Each subscription is billed separately
• Example: 3 instances = 3 × $9.99 = $29.97/month
• You can mix monthly and yearly subscriptions

What's Included

Your subscription covers:

• Dedicated 1 GB RAM container
• 24/7 uptime monitoring
• Real-time logs and diagnostics
• Environment variable encryption
• Email notifications
• All integrations (Telegram, Discord, etc.)
• Email support

What's NOT Included

AI provider costs are separate:

• OpenAI API usage (billed by OpenAI)
• Anthropic API usage (billed by Anthropic)
• OpenRouter usage (billed by OpenRouter)

You pay AI providers directly based on your usage (tokens processed).

Billing Cycle

• Monthly: Charged on the same day each month (e.g., 15th)
• Yearly: Charged once per year on subscription anniversary
• Automatic renewal unless cancelled
• Reminder email sent before renewal

Payment Processing

• Supports credit/debit cards
• Automatic retry for failed payments

Prorating

No prorating: Billing is per full month or year.

• Cancel anytime, service continues until period ends
• Plus 3-day grace period after cancellation
• No refunds for partial periods

Failed Payments

If payment fails:

1. You receive an email notification
2. Stripe retries automatically (up to 3 times)
3. You have 3 days to update payment method
4. If unresolved, instance is stopped after grace period
5. Configuration preserved for 30 days
