CostClaw: Free Local Cost Tracking Dashboard for OpenClaw Agents
What CostClaw Does
CostClaw is a free, local cost tracking dashboard for OpenClaw agents that requires no account. It captures every LLM call via OpenClaw's native hooks with zero configuration needed. All data stays local in SQLite with nothing sent anywhere.
Features
- Live dashboard at localhost:3333 with model breakdown, per-session costs, and hourly spend chart
- Shows cost split by trigger: user message / heartbeat / cron / subagent
- Generates specific recommendations based on your actual usage
- Developer is happy to add model pricing if yours shows $0.00
Installation

git clone https://github.com/Aperturesurvivor/costclaw-telemetry.git
cd costclaw-telemetry && npm install && npm run build
openclaw plugins install -l . && openclaw gateway restartReal-World Impact
The developer discovered their heartbeat agent was running Claude Sonnet every 3 minutes 24/7 even when they weren't using it, burning $60/month doing nothing. Switching it to Haiku for the keep-alive check cut their bill by approximately 65%.
