We're the value sweet spot.
SetupClaw.com charges enterprise prices for what is, at the end of the day, the same OpenClaw installation. They're polished, they have testimonials from well-known founders, and they do good work. But $3,000–$6,000 for something we deliver at the same quality for a fraction of the price? That's SF pricing, not real-world pricing.
ClawSetup.ai is affordable, but you get what you pay for. Their basic tier gets OpenClaw running — and that's about it. No security hardening, no multi-channel setup, no training. If you just need it installed and can figure the rest out yourself, they're fine. But most people need more than "installed."
RunYourOwnAI (us) gives you the full setup — hardened security, multiple channels, custom AI persona, live training, real support — at a price that respects your budget. And every install is done personally by Seth, the founder. You talk to the person doing the work, not a ticket system.
Starter ($449): OpenClaw installed on your VPS or hardware. One AI provider configured, one messaging channel (Telegram or Discord), security hardening, 7-day support. Perfect if you want to get started and explore.
Pro ($997): Everything in Starter plus 2+ messaging channels, custom AI persona and skills, API cost optimization with model routing, browser automation, 1-hour live training session, and 14-day hypercare support. This is what most people choose.
Local ($1,497): In-person setup at your location in Tucson or Phoenix metro. Includes everything in Pro plus hands-on 2-hour training, business-specific automations (appointment booking, lead capture, CRM), and 30-day support. White-glove treatment.
Monthly Support ($149/mo): Ongoing maintenance, updates, troubleshooting, new skill installs. Up to 5 support requests per month. Cancel anytime.
