What you give up either way
- 24/7 managed ops and on-demand pen testing
- Intelligent multi-provider LLM routing and built-in access to 300+ models
- Dedicated edge deployment per assistant and the provider's isolated infra (Cloudflare Workers, R2, Durable Objects)
- Included browser minutes/email volume and built-in billing/credits
- Security guarantees and AES-256-GCM secrets handling with provider-operated key lifecycle
An open-source project doing the core job proves a replacement is possible. It does not prove it matches getclaw, and it does not prove anyone has run it for a month. How we decide.
