Decision matrix¶
| User says | Recommended runtime |
|---|---|
| "I just want periodic catalog updates" | PicoClaw on GitHub Actions |
| "I need always-on agents responding to webhooks" | OpenClaw on Fly.io free machine |
| "I already built with Vercel / Cloudflare" | MiniClaw on the platform they're using |
Platform caveats¶
- Railway free tier — gone (deprecated 2023). Do not recommend.
- Heroku free tier — gone (deprecated 2022). Do not recommend.
- Fly.io free machines — still available but capped; read the current limits at deploy time.
- Vercel Hobby — generous but subject to commercial-use restrictions. Warn the user.
- Cloudflare Workers free — 100k requests/day; excellent for MiniClaw.
- GitHub Actions — 2,000 public-repo minutes/month free; best fit for PicoClaw.
