Frequently Asked Questions

What does an OpenClaw consultant do?

Consultants provide strategic guidance, architecture design, security audits, cost optimization strategies, and migration planning. They focus on planning and advisory rather than hands-on implementation. Think of them as architects who design the blueprint — developers build from it.

Do I need a consultant or a developer?

Need strategy, architecture, or planning? Hire a consultant. Need hands-on implementation, custom skills, or bug fixes? Hire a developer. For large projects, you often need both: consultant designs, developer implements.

How much do OpenClaw consultants charge?

Consultants typically charge $150-$300/hour or $5k-$20k for fixed-scope advisory engagements. Enterprise retainers run $10k-$50k/month. Pricing depends on experience, complexity, and engagement length. Most offer a free discovery call to scope the project.

Can consultants also do implementation?

Some can, but many focus purely on advisory. Check each consultant's profile for their service offerings. If they don't do implementation, they can recommend developers to execute their designs.

How long does a typical consulting engagement last?

Architecture design: 1-2 weeks. Security audits: 2-4 weeks. Cost optimization: 1-2 weeks. Migration planning: 2-4 weeks. Ongoing advisory retainers are common for enterprise clients (monthly or quarterly).
