Credits
ClawOps uses OpenRouter credits to pay for AI model usage. Every message your bot sends costs a small amount of credits depending on the model and message length.
What’s included
| When | Credits |
|---|---|
| On signup | $5 bonus credits (limited time) |
| Each monthly renewal | +$2 added to your balance |
Credits accumulate — they don’t reset each month. The longer you’re subscribed, the larger your premium model budget grows.
Buying more credits
If you run out before your billing cycle resets, you can buy more from your Dashboard.
- Go to your Dashboard
- Open the Overview or Subscription tab
- Click Buy More Credits
- Choose an amount: $5, $10, or $20
- Complete checkout
Credits are added to your account immediately. Purchased credits are one-time top-ups — they add to your current limit and don’t expire.
How pricing works
ClawOps adds a small 5% margin to credit purchases:
| You pay | Credits added |
|---|---|
| $5.00 | $4.75 |
| $10.00 | $9.50 |
| $20.00 | $19.00 |
This keeps the platform running while giving you credits at near-cost.
Checking your usage
The Usage tab in your Dashboard shows:
- Current credit balance
- Credits used this month
- Message count by day
Smart switching
When your credits run low, your bot automatically shifts to cheaper models so it never goes offline. You’ll get a Telegram notification when this happens. Top up anytime to restore your preferred stack.
