Anthropic cracks down on Claude subscribers using OpenClaw, users say it is hurtful
India Today
Anthropic is cracking down on users who run third-party services such as OpenClaw, an open-source agentic AI platform, on its Claude AI models. Going forward, users will have to pay extra for such third-party services on its AI platforms.
Anthropic has announced that it will no longer let users run third-party tools on Claude for free. Now, those who want to use tools, such as OpenClaw on Claude, will need to pay more in addition to their existing Claude subscription.
Anthropic executive Boris Cherny confirmed the change on X. He stated that this will go into effect from Saturday, April 4, 2026. He wrote on X, “Starting tomorrow at 12 pm PT (12:30 am IST), Claude subscriptions will no longer cover usage on third-party tools like OpenClaw.” Boris Cherny's post on X.
OpenClaw is an open-source agentic AI platform. Users can run OpenClaw locally on their device on AI models such as Claude or ChatGPT. This allows you to use OpenClaw as your AI agent that can then do your tasks on its own.
Anthropic has since worked on giving agentic AI features to Claude, such as Dispatch and computer use. Claude can now be controlled remotely via your phone, and the AI can do tasks such as building and testing an app in a single prompt.
OpenClaw went viral a few weeks ago when OpenClaw AI bots started posting on Moltbook, an AI-only social media platform.
