Skip the Demo: Evaluate OpenClaw in 60 Seconds
Most enterprise software makes you sit through a 45-minute demo before you can touch anything.
A sales rep shares their screen. They click through a sandbox that looks nothing like production. You nod along. You schedule a follow-up. Then another follow-up. Six weeks later you still haven't run a single workload.
OpenClaw doesn't work that way.
The Demo Problem Nobody Talks About
Here's the thing about demos for infrastructure products: they're useless.
A polished slide deck can't tell you if your agents will run fast. A recorded walkthrough can't show you how audit logs behave under your traffic patterns. A sandbox with fake data can't prove that egress controls work with your stack.
You need to run real workloads. On real infrastructure. With your own code.
That's not something a 45-minute Zoom call can deliver.
The "Try It Live" Approach
Clawctl doesn't offer a traditional free trial. Here's what we offer instead: Starter at $49/mo.
No setup fees. No contracts. No sales calls required.
Here's what happens when you sign up:
- Pick the Starter plan
- Your OpenClaw instance gets auto-provisioned
- You're live in 60 seconds
That's it. Full production environment. Not a sandbox. Not a demo instance with training wheels. The real thing.
And every plan -- Starter, Team, Business -- includes the full security stack from day one. Gateway auth, sandboxed execution, egress filtering, kill switch, audit logs. All of it.
What You'll See in the Dashboard
Once you're in, you get full visibility into everything your agents do.
Agent Runs. Every execution logged with timestamps, inputs, outputs, and token counts. You can trace what happened and why.
Audit Trail. Who did what, when. Every config change, every deployment, every permission update. The kind of records your compliance team will want to see.
Security Controls. Egress rules that restrict where your agents can reach. Kill switches that stop runaway processes. Sandbox boundaries that contain blast radius.
Egress Logs. See every outbound connection your agents make. Know what data leaves your environment. Block what shouldn't.
You also get CLI access via clawctl commands. Manage agents, configure egress rules, pull logs, trigger deployments -- all from your terminal.
This is what a real evaluation looks like. Not screenshots in a deck.
The Upgrade Path: Starter to Team to Business
Start small. Scale when you're ready.
Starter -- $49/mo. One operator. Full security stack. Perfect for a technical evaluation. Kick the tires, deploy a few agents, see how it handles your workloads. No commitment beyond the month.
Team -- $299/mo. Everything in Starter, plus approval workflows for multi-person teams. When your evaluation succeeds and you bring in the rest of the squad, this is where you land.
Business -- $999/mo. The enterprise tier. SSO/SAML integration. Compliance exports. SOC 2 evidence packs. Custom SLA. Dedicated support. Everything your procurement and security teams will ask for.
Upgrades happen in one click. Your agents keep running. No migration, no downtime, no re-provisioning.
For Enterprise Buyers: What to Evaluate
If you're evaluating OpenClaw for a large org, here's your checklist.
Week 1: Technical validation. Sign up for Starter. Deploy your first agent. Test the sandbox. Push on the egress controls. Break things on purpose -- that's what the kill switch is for.
Week 2: Integration testing. Connect your tools via webhooks. Test the CLI in your CI/CD pipeline. Run agents against real data. Review the audit trail.
Week 3: Security review. Pull the audit logs. Show your security team the egress filtering. Walk through the sandbox isolation. Review the kill switch behavior.
Week 4: Business case. Upgrade to Team or Business. Test the approval workflows. Generate a compliance export. Present findings to stakeholders.
This four-week self-guided evaluation will tell you more than any number of demo calls.
Enterprise-Specific Features to Test
When you're ready for the Business plan, here's what opens up:
- SSO/SAML -- Connect your identity provider. Enforce your existing auth policies.
- Compliance exports -- Generate evidence packs for audits. SOC 2, ISO 27001, whatever your framework requires.
- Custom SLA -- Define uptime guarantees that match your requirements.
- Dedicated support -- Direct access to the engineering team. Not a ticketing queue.
These aren't features you evaluate in a demo. You evaluate them by using them.
What a Real Implementation Timeline Looks Like
Here's how teams go from "never heard of it" to "running in production."
Day 1. Sign up for Starter. Deploy first agent. Total time: under an hour.
Week 1-2. Technical team runs evaluation. Tests security controls, reviews architecture, validates performance.
Week 3. Security and compliance review. Audit logs get inspected. Egress controls get stress-tested.
Week 4. Business decision. Upgrade to Team or Business based on evaluation results.
Month 2. Production rollout begins. First real workloads go live with approval workflows and full audit trail.
Compare that to the traditional enterprise software timeline: 2 weeks of demos, 4 weeks of procurement, 6 weeks of implementation, 2 weeks of training. Four months before anyone runs a single agent.
With Clawctl, you can be in production before the traditional vendor finishes their second demo.
Start Evaluating Today
You have two options.
Option 1: Start with Starter. Sign up for $49/mo. Deploy in 60 seconds. Run your evaluation on live infrastructure. Upgrade when you're ready.
Option 2: Enterprise walkthrough. If your org requires a guided evaluation, we can arrange a custom walkthrough with the engineering team. Contact us through the site.
But here's our honest recommendation: start with Option 1.
The best way to evaluate infrastructure is to use it. Sign up, deploy an agent, and see for yourself. You'll learn more in 60 seconds of hands-on use than in any demo call.
No setup fees. No contracts on Starter or Team. Cancel anytime.
Your agents are waiting.
