OpenClaw "Proxy Shopping" Business on the Rise: Domestic Quotes Range from 30 RMB to 5000 RMB, with Overseas Platforms Charging up to 6000 USD per Transaction

According to 1M AI News monitoring, as the OpenClaw craze continues to rise, paid services deployed around it have formed a scale on multiple domestic and foreign platforms. According to the test survey on March 4 by the WeChat official account "Digital Life Kazakh," the author inquired about prices from over ten stores on Taobao and Xianyu. The online remote installation prices ranged from 30 yuan to 5000 yuan, with the majority between 100 and 200 yuan; on-site installation in the same city was around 500 yuan. The author made a 499 yuan appointment with a Beijing on-site installer, who is not from a technical background but had previously worked in Internet operations. After posting on Xiaohongshu, he received multiple orders daily, with clients including personal users from industries such as film and television, media, finance, and the Internet. The installer admitted that he "rarely uses it" in daily life and mostly uses OpenClaw for AI news timed push notifications.

On the overseas side, according to 36Kr and MyDrivers reports, the installation platform SetupClaw's prices are $3000 for hosted installation, $5000 for remote configuration, and $6000 for on-site configuration in the San Francisco Bay Area. The founder, Michael, claimed that the business "is expected to earn a million dollars annually," but did not provide order quantity data to support this claim. At the same time, security risks are also expanding simultaneously. According to scan data quoted by 36Kr, over 42,000 OpenClaw instances are exposed to the public network, with over 90% vulnerable to direct bypass of authentication by attackers; Cisco's security team found disguised malicious software in the ClawHub plugin market. "Digital Life Kazakh" also pointed out that on-site installation carries the risk of backdoor implantation, making it difficult for users to discern whether the installation content is the original unaltered version.

In the crypto industry, KOL Dovey Wan commented on March 3 that the first batch of OpenClaw developers in the Bay Area who provided on-site installations "has already earned enough for a 10-year Claude Max Plan."
