General
Is ClawHQ really free? Yes. ClawHQ is MIT licensed and self-hosted — you pay nothing to us. You do pay your AI provider (Anthropic, OpenAI, etc.) for API usage. The Model Router helps minimize those costs by routing cheap tasks to cheaper models automatically. What’s the difference between ClawHQ and just using ChatGPT? ChatGPT is a chat interface. ClawHQ is an agent platform — agents run autonomously, respond to events, execute tools, and work in the channels your team already uses (Discord, Slack, Telegram). They don’t need you to start a conversation. Do I need technical skills to run this? You need to be comfortable with Docker and a terminal. If you can rundocker compose up, you can run ClawHQ. The install.sh script handles most of the setup.
Can I use models other than Claude?
Yes. ClawHQ supports Anthropic, OpenAI, Groq, OpenRouter, DeepSeek, and local models via Ollama. Set your API keys in Settings → General and configure fallbacks in the Model Router.
Packs
How much do packs cost? Free packs (Data Analyst, Weekly Briefing, Content Engine, Innovation Scout, Workflow Docs, LLM Wiki) are 29, lighter workflow packs (Creator Suite, Reskilling Core, Marketing Agency, Product Research) at 99. Bundles start at $79. What’s the difference between the 99 packs? The 99 packs involve heavier multi-agent orchestration — multiple specialized agents coordinating across tools like CRMs, email, calendars, and external APIs. Are there bundles? Yes. Four thematic bundles are available at a discount: Sales Bundle (149), Engineering Bundle (79). An All Packs Bundle ($299) includes every paid pack. See clawhqplatform.com/packs for details. Can I buy a pack and install it on multiple servers? Each pack license is per-workspace. If you’re running multiple ClawHQ instances (e.g., staging + production), reach out and we’ll sort it out. What’s the refund policy? Packs are digital products. If something doesn’t work as described, contact us and we’ll make it right.Hosting
Where should I host this? Any VPS with 2GB+ RAM works. Popular options: Railway (one-click deploy), Render (free tier available), DigitalOcean ($6/mo Droplet), Hetzner (cheap EU), your own server. Can I run it locally? Yes —docker compose up works on your laptop. Use docker-compose.local.yml for local dev (skips HTTPS). Note: Discord and Telegram webhooks require a publicly accessible URL; use ngrok or Cloudflare Tunnel for local testing with live channels.
Does it support HTTPS?
Yes. The included Caddy reverse proxy handles TLS automatically. Set CLAWHQ_URL to your domain and Caddy will get a certificate from Let’s Encrypt.
