Anthropic has allowed users to reconnect Claude with OpenClaw after temporarily cutting access earlier this year, but many developers are frustrated over what they say are much higher real-world costs. OpenClaw is widely used to run Claude inside coding tools and IDEs as a smoother, cheaper workflow, but users now say updated SDK pricing and stricter limits have made access significantly more expensive.The main reason was cost. OpenClaw gave developers access to Claude’s coding abilities at a much lower effective price than using Anthropic’s official products directly.Many users on X and developer forums said it felt faster, more flexible, and cheaper compared to alternatives like ChatGPT-based coding setups. What is your take on OpenClaw collaboration ?
