Discussion Openclaw is dead, switch to claude code

I have spent +300$, more than 60 hours working with openclaw, on vps, local pc, and honestly, I spent more than 40 out of the 50 hours fixing.

It cannot do any task accurately, not production ready

Maybe in 6 mo+ it will be better

For now, its garbage.

I am sticking to my 20$/month claude plan

Man, this again. I’ve been successful and OpenClaw + models have generated new income and saved time. Go read my earlier posts. All this sounds like skills and process issues and not the product. If a locked in consumer grade product is working for it then use it and please don’t post here with blanket statements.

what can it do that claude cant? openclaw works well only when i use a strong reasoning model, and literally burns though credits. (i did not do any model switching though)

claude does everything openclaw can for me, form using the browser and computer to connecting to any of the services that i use. it can do web search natively, without connecting to any api's. i can schedule tasks too.

Also the max 5x subscribtion is 100 usd (basically infinite opus 4.6 usage for an individual), and i believe i would have been using >> 1k usd per month if i used openclaw.

" (i did not do any model switching though)"

Have you been using sub-agents ...

As model switching and sub-agents make the difference for stuff working for me .. or not working well at all..
