It's no longer free to use Claude through third-party tools like OpenClaw
Anthropic has updated its Claude AI subscription policy, discontinuing free usage for third-party tools like OpenClaw as of April 4. Users will now require an extra usage bundle or an API key to access Claude through external applications. This change is attributed to engineering constraints and a need to manage increasing demand by prioritizing direct customers and API users.
