Has anyone tried OpenClaw cloud hosting? Is it worth the setup time for smaller projects?
I’ve been using OpenClaw to automate a few tasks for a small project, and while the platform shows great potential, I’ve found the setup to be more complicated than expected. Between managing servers, configuring the environment, and dealing with API keys, I feel like I’ve spent more time setting everything up than actually automating my processes.
For those who have used OpenClaw for smaller projects, do you think it’s worth the time to switch to a managed service or is sticking with a self-hosted setup a better fit for smaller workflows? If you've made the switch, did it make automating tasks easier, or was it more about saving time on technical setup?
I’m just trying to figure out whether the managed service adds enough value for a project that’s not too large-scale. Would love to hear your experiences
