# That's it!One Model for Everything Is Costing You More Than You Think.
OpenClaw is powerful — but it wasn't built for cost optimization. No routing means every request costs premium model prices. Even the cheap ones.
Heartbeat Checks
Status checks and pings running
every few minutes, all day
Simple Questions
Basic Q&A and quick tasks. But the full history went with it on an expensive model. Every time.
Mixed Workload
Complex and simple tasks, same model.
You're overpaying on most of them.

Your OpenClaw Usage
Powerful Features
Everything You Need
for Cost Optimization.
Production-ready gateway with intelligent routing, multi-provider support, and real-time analytics. Built specifically for OpenClaw.
Intelligent Routing
Automatically classifies each request and routes to the optimal model. Heartbeats go to ultra-cheap models, complex code generation to premium models. 92-95% accuracy, zero configuration.
Multi-Provider Support
Works with your Anthropic, Google, and/or OpenAI API keys. Any combination. ClawRoute routes across all available providers automatically. We never charge your card - you pay providers directly. Quality-first routing.
Real-Time Analytics
Every request shows the model used, tokens consumed, actual cost, and exactly how much you saved. 30-day cost trend spots budget issues before month-end. No surprises - every dollar accounted for.
Drop-In Setup
No new SDKs. No code refactors. No new dependencies. Copy paste a few lines in your OpenClaw config and ClawRoute takes over. You will be sending your first routed request in under 2 mins
Privacy-First
Your API keys are encrypted and never exposed. We never store your prompts or responses. Only metadata is logged: model used, tokens, cost. Your data stays between you and your AI providers.
Routing Transparency
Every routing decision is logged: which model, why it was chosen, and the confidence score. Filter, search, and audit every call directly from your dashboard. Full transparency, no black boxes.
Simple Setup
How It
Works.
Start saving in under 2 minutes. No complicated integrations. No technical knowledge needed. Just add keys and update one line.
Add Your API Keys
Connect your Anthropic, Google, OpenAI, or OpenRouter API keys. We encrypt them with AES-256-GCM. You keep full control - we never charge your card for API usage.
Update Config
Add your ClawRoute gateway key to your OpenClaw config. That's it. No other code changes, no complex setup. Takes 30 seconds.
Watch Savings Grow
ClawRoute automatically routes each request to the optimal model. Dashboard shows real-time savings, cost breakdown, and request history. Typical savings: 60-80%.

Common Questions
Frequently
Asked Questions.
Everything you need to know about ClawRoute and how it works.
No. ClawRoute uses BYOK (Bring Your Own Keys). You add your own Anthropic, Google, or OpenAI API keys.
We proxy requests using your keys, so you get billed directly by the providers. We only charge for the ClawRoute subscription ($9-19/mo).
This means no liability for runaway costs, and you maintain full control over your API spending.
Our AI powered classifier achieves 92-95% accuracy, which is validated by academic research.
When confidence is low (<75%), we automatically upgrade to a safer tier to prevent quality issues.
The system is designed to be conservative - we'd rather use a slightly more expensive model than risk a bad response.
ClawRoute works with any single provider or combination. If you only have Anthropic keys, we'll route between Haiku, Sonnet, and Opus.
You still get significant savings because we use cheaper models for simple tasks instead of running everything on your most expensive model.
Yes. By default, we don't log prompts or responses - only metadata (tokens, model, cost, timestamp).
All API keys are encrypted with AES-256-GCM.
We're GDPR compliant by default and can't see your sensitive conversations.
Under 2 minutes. Here's the complete process:
- Sign up and add your API keys (Anthropic, Google or OpenAI)
- Get your ClawRoute gateway key
- Copy this in your OpenClaw config:
"providers": { "clawroute": { "baseUrl": "https://api.clawroute.com/v1", "apiKey": "cr_live_xxx", "api": "openai-completions", "models": [{ "id": "gpt-4o", "name": "ClawRoute (Auto-routing)" }] } }
That's it. No code changes, no complex integrations. Savings start immediately.
We're building features OpenClaw won't: real-time cost analytics, budget alerts, usage forecasting, and enterprise features.
Even if OpenClaw adds basic routing, ClawRoute provides transparency, monitoring, and control that a built-in feature can't match.
No. ClawRoute is an independent tool built by OpenClaw users who noticed the community was overpaying for API costs.
We're not affiliated with, endorsed by, or officially connected to the OpenClaw project. Just passionate about helping developers optimize their LLM spending.
