Our average user spends $50 a month all-in (tokens and subscription). If you're budget conscious you can use a cheap model (eg Gemini Flash) or even a free one.

Our average user spends $50 a month all-in (tokens and subscription). If you're budget conscious you can use a cheap model (eg Gemini Flash) or even a free one. I confess I am a snob and only use Claude Opus, but even using OpenClaw all day every day I only spend about $500 a month on tokens.
Orthogonal credits are used more frequently by power users. For everyday tasks they'll last a very long time, I don't think any of our users have run out.
Some example Orthogonal user cases:
* customers in sales uses Apollo to get contact info for leads
* I use Exa search to help me prepare for calls by getting background info on customers and businesses
* I used SearchAPI to help find AirBnbs.
Point taken on the copy! We made this writing more technical for the HackerNews audience and try to use less jargon on other platforms.
- _joel 6mo agoYour average user spends £50 a month? How long have you been running, just wondering since OpenClaw was only released (as openclaw) a month ago.
- robthompson2018 6mo agoWe have been live since Feb 7. Maybe $50 a month is an underestimate because our average user has been live for less than a month.
- iJohnDoe 6mo agoThanks for giving real-world examples of your usage. Do you think it’s worth $500 a month? Also, maybe tough to answer, does it seem like the token usage ($500 a month) would be equivalent if you did the same things using Claude or GPT directly? My reason for asking is because I tried OpenClaw and a quick one-line test question used 10,000 tokens. I immediately deleted the whole thing.
