Using This in Proposals and Discovery

  • Discovery calls: Share ballpark ranges so clients know what to expect. Tie fees to outcomes-e.g. "This setup typically runs $X and will save your team Y hours per month."
  • Value-based pricing: If the client saves 20 hours/month at $50/hour, that's $1,000/month in value; a $2,000–$5,000 one-time fee pays back in 2–5 months. Use the pricing strategies guide for ROI framing.
  • Security for clients: When deploying for others, follow OpenClaw security best practices and document what you've implemented-it supports higher fees and trust.

FAQ

  • How do I choose hourly vs project pricing? Hourly works for ongoing advisory or variable scope; project (fixed) works when deliverables are clear (e.g. "one Telegram bot, two automations"). See consulting services for positioning.
  • What if my client wants enterprise-level work? Enterprise deployments ($10K–$50K+) usually include security review, multi-channel setup, and sometimes SLA. Scope carefully and reference security and installation docs.
  • Where does the Cost Calculator fit? The Cost Calculator (TCO) estimates what it costs to *run* OpenClaw (hosting + API). This page estimates what you *charge* for services. Use both: TCO for your own or client run costs; this calculator for your fees.
