Frequently asked
Straight answers.
No marketing theatre. If a question isn't answered here, email hello@clawmont.com.
Does Clawmont replace OpenClaw?
No. Clawmont is a plugin that installs inside OpenClaw. It adds a configuration and security layer on top of your existing ClawBot setup — nothing is replaced, nothing is proxied, nothing new has to run.
What's included in the $30 Developer license?
A one-time $30 license for the Developer persona — a curated, version-pinned, security-audited set of tools, skills, and presets shaped around the dev role, plus the full local Clawmont security layer: 11 independently-testable defense layers, local audit log, credential scanner, and tool firewall. Once you buy it, it is yours.
What's in the $40 Optimus Prime license?
Optimus Prime is the all-access persona — everything in Developer plus Trader and every future persona we ship, deduplicated and merged with the most-restrictive security settings applied across the full union. Supply-chain diff-audit, guardian-cron autopilot, browser boundary, and every new persona at no extra charge. Also a one-time purchase.
What's the $9/mo Guardrails add-on?
An optional cloud security layer: real-time alert delivery to Discord / Slack / Telegram / email, daily security digest, hosted audit trail with 90-day retention, and webhook+API for your own tooling. Works with either persona tier and is the only recurring charge we sell. The plugin runs fully offline without Guardrails.
Is there a free trial?
No free trial — but every purchase comes with a 7-day money-back guarantee, no questions asked.
What happens if I cancel Guardrails?
You keep the open-source plugin, your persona license, and every local security feature. Your configuration stays on disk. Cloud alert delivery and hosted audit trail stop at the end of the billing period — the plugin keeps protecting you locally with no interruption.
Do you train on my prompts or code?
No. Clawmont is a security + configuration layer — we don't ingest prompts, we don't ingest code, and we don't relay anything through our servers. Alerts are the only thing that travel to the cloud, and they're HMAC-signed and redacted before leaving your machine.
Isn't this just an MCP gateway?
No — and we deliberately don't build one. Gateways are a single point of failure and a silent-death risk (see our own project post-mortems). Clawmont runs inside the OpenClaw process as a plugin. If the plugin dies, OpenClaw tells you immediately.
Do you include AI-generated testimonials or synthetic benchmarks?
No. Every number on this site comes from a real test run in our repository. The 24/24 G-A figure is reproducible from packages/plugin's Vitest suite. We'd rather ship fewer claims than fake them.
Who built Clawmont?
A solo developer building the plugin, the API, and this marketing site in public. No VC money, no growth team — just a focused product with an aggressive test suite.
What platforms does it support?
Any OpenClaw instance — macOS, Linux, Windows (WSL). The plugin is a pure TypeScript package with zero runtime dependencies.
