The pricing change comes amid growing competition in the AI development space, particularly between Anthropic and OpenAI.

OpenClaw creator Peter Steinberger recently joined OpenAI, while the tool itself continues as an open-source project supported by the company. Steinberger criticized Anthropic’s move, suggesting it limits open-source ecosystems after integrating similar features internally.

Anthropic, however, maintains that the decision is based on engineering and infrastructure constraints rather than opposition to open source. The company also confirmed it is offering refunds to affected users and continues contributing improvements to OpenClaw’s codebase.

The update highlights increasing pressure on AI firms to balance rapid adoption, infrastructure costs, and developer ecosystem relationships as demand for coding assistants grows.
