How to compare these prices
Entry plans have different scopes. A personal subscription, developer API and platform workspace may be billed differently. Base fees can exclude model tokens, compute, tools, storage and network transfer. A zero base subscription does not mean unlimited free hosting. Open a company profile for all plans, full conditions and official sources.
We retain every specification, including fields the vendor has not disclosed. Entries over 30 days old are marked for review.
How to compare AI agent hosting
AI agent hosting provides the infrastructure that keeps an agent available to receive requests, run tools and retain application state. This directory compares three different choices: virtual servers you administer, managed agent runtimes, and isolated execution environments. Start with the deployment model, then compare the full bill and the resources your application needs.
OpenClaw VPS or a managed agent runtime?
An OpenClaw VPS gives you control of the operating system and installed software. Compare vCPU, RAM, NVMe or SSD storage, transfer allowance and backups. You are responsible for application updates, credentials and process supervision unless the selected service explicitly includes those tasks.
Managed runtimes handle more of the execution lifecycle. Review session limits, persistence, supported tools and regional availability. Sandboxes provide isolated environments for agent code, but conversation memory, storage retention and model access may need separate services.
Compare the complete cost, not only the entry price
A promotional VPS price, monthly platform minimum and per-second compute rate describe different things. Check the billing period, upfront commitment, renewal price and tax treatment. For metered services, estimate CPU time, allocated memory, storage and network transfer. Add model API, tool and other connected-service charges to your budget.
Which specifications matter for an agent?
Look for enough CPU and RAM for your workload, persistent storage for required state, suitable regions and networking, and documented execution limits. Then check secrets management, isolation, logs, recovery options and support scope. A server specification does not guarantee a fixed number of concurrent agents.
Explore providers and their official sources
Open the profiles for Microsoft Azure, AWS, Google Cloud or Hostinger to review plan conditions and source links. Use the table filters to compare providers by name and hosting category.
Does a zero subscription mean free agent hosting?
No. A service can have no fixed subscription while charging for compute, memory, storage or model usage. The table labels these entries as usage-based and shows published unit rates where confirmed.
How are prices and missing specifications reviewed?
Each company profile links to official product documentation and pricing sources and displays its review date. Regional offers, eligibility and capacity can change. Information that could not be confirmed remains marked as undisclosed; conflicting official figures are identified rather than silently treated as certain.
