BYOK stands for "Bring Your Own Key." You provide your own API keys for AI providers like Anthropic, OpenAI, DeepSeek, or OpenRouter. This means zero markup on AI usage costs — you pay the provider directly at their standard rates, and only pay LaunchPod for compute and hosting.
OpenClaw is an open-source personal AI agent with 150K+ GitHub stars. It can chat via Telegram, Discord, WhatsApp, and Signal, and automate tasks like email triage, scheduling, and web browsing. It works with any major AI provider via BYOK. LaunchPod hosts it so you don't have to manage servers.
You could run OpenClaw on your own VPS, but you'd need to set up Node.js, configure systemd services, manage SSH keys, set up a reverse proxy, handle updates, and monitor uptime. LaunchPod does all of this in one command. You get a dedicated VM you can SSH into, but without the DevOps overhead.
Yes. Every plan includes a 7-day free trial. You provide a payment method at signup, but you won't be charged until the trial ends. Cancel anytime during the trial and you won't be charged.
Each instance runs on its own dedicated cloud VM in Ashburn, VA. Your data is isolated per-instance and never shared with other users. All terminal connections use SSH encryption with per-instance Ed25519 keys. Your AI API keys are stored only on your VM and never leave your instance.
Yes. You can change your tier at any time using launchpod billing in the CLI. Changes take effect on your next billing cycle.
