Common Questions

Is MyClaw safe to use?

MyClaw provides private instances with 24/7 uptime. For personal use, this is fine. For business use with customer data, Clawctl's sandbox isolation, encryption, and audit trails provide stronger protection.

Can I migrate from MyClaw to Clawctl?

Yes. Export your OpenClaw configuration and set up on Clawctl in minutes. Your agent settings transfer directly.

Why does Clawctl cost more?

Clawctl runs each agent in an isolated container with its own Docker socket proxy, encrypted secret storage, and audit logging infrastructure. This architecture costs more to operate than shared hosting.
