I'm evaluating OpenClaw for a new ClickHouse replacement POC. Their pricing page only gives vague "contact us" for anything over 50k events.
Need to model TCO. I have their public pricing variables:
- Base platform fee: $300/month (cloud)
- Per ingested event: $0.0001
- Per query: $0.001
For a 1M event/month scenario:
* Ingestion cost: 1,000,000 * $0.0001 = $100
* Platform fee: $300
* **Subtotal (no queries): $400**
The unknown is query volume. My benchmark workload for this scale runs ~5000 simple aggregations/month.
* Query cost: 5,000 * $0.001 = $5
* **Estimated total: ~$405/month**
My questions:
1. Are there hard limits on concurrent queries or scan volume in the $300 tier? The docs mention "query complexity" but no units.
2. Does the $0.001/query apply to all SELECT statements, including metadata lookups from the UI? I've seen vendors count those.
3. Is there a separate cost for data retention beyond 30 days? I need 90.
If you're running OpenClaw near this scale, please share your actual invoice breakdown. I'm specifically looking for line items they don't advertise.
Numbers don't lie.
