Head to head
Alfe vs MyClaw
A side-by-side, sourced comparison. Facts come from each vendor’s own materials; scores are our editorial opinion applied by the same rubric to both.
In brief
Alfe and MyClaw are both managed agent platforms. Alfe leads on scalability, memory & state, integrations, mcp nativeness; MyClaw leads on no single scored dimension.
| Dimension | ||
|---|---|---|
| Pricing | Freemium — the site describes a tenant-wide credit pool that funds compute, model usage, voice, channels, and storage, plus optional per-agent subscriptions, and is self-serve from the dashboard; no specific dollar figures or tier table are published in a verifiable form.Unverified | Hosting only, LLM tokens billed separately by you. Annual plans (default "Save 45%"): Lite $199/yr ($16.6/mo, reg. $29/mo), Pro $399/yr ($33.3/mo, reg. $59/mo), Max $799/yr ($66.6/mo, reg. $119/mo), Ultra $1,599/yr ($133+/mo, reg. $239/mo). No free tier — 7-day money-back only. Because model tokens are uncapped and billed by the provider, real all-in cost for an always-on agent is higher than the sticker; other MyClaw-branded surfaces publish different figures.source ↗ |
| Hosting model | Managed cloud control plane, with a Sync integration backing config, files, and memory to the cloud.source ↗ | Managed cloud hosting on Kubernetes — one StatefulSet plus a dedicated persistent volume per bot, one bot per instance. "Stop" scales to zero while retaining data; independent scaling, hot config reload, and log streaming are offered. No self-host path and no published SLA are documented; data is on a 30-day PVC retention after which it is unrecoverable.source ↗ |
| Memory & state | Built-in cross-channel memory: the Sync integration backs files, conversations, and memory to the cloud so context persists across channels.source ↗ | OpenClaw's built-in file memory persisted on the per-bot persistent volume. No managed vector store or knowledge graph is offered.source ↗ |
| MCP support | Nativesource ↗ | Nonesource ↗ |
| Integrations | Voice (Twilio + Discord), Discord, web/mobile chat, SMS + calls via Twilio, Google Workspace (Meet/Calendar/Drive), Microsoft Teams, Slack, and Sync.source ↗ | Around six documented messaging channels — Discord, Telegram, Slack, and WhatsApp/Messenger/Instagram (the Meta ones via browser automation rather than official APIs). No voice or phone. Marketing cites "100+ integrations," but the roughly 20 tool connectors shown are OpenClaw's own ClawHub connectors, not a proprietary framework; channel credentials are entered manually rather than provisioned via per-agent OAuth.source ↗ |
| Model providers | Nine model providers behind one proxy per Alfe's site — Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini, DeepSeek, Mistral, xAI, OpenRouter, Zhipu, and MiniMax — with per-tenant policy and BYOK overrides.source ↗ | Bring-your-own-key across five providers, all pass-through: Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Groq, and OpenRouter. Keys are AES-256-GCM encrypted, never returned to the browser, and rotatable without restart. There is no proxy, metering, per-tenant policy, credit pool, or fallback routing — no pooled or bundled model access.source ↗ |
