Run OpenClaw for $0/month
Freeloader configures OpenClaw with optimal free API rotation across multiple providers — giving you 2,000+ free requests/day without spending a cent.
Quick Start
npm i -g @clawpack/cli && clawpack chat agentebox/freeloader
What It Does
- Identifies which free providers you already have configured
- Walks you through setting up the ones you're missing
- Configures optimal fallback rotation so you never hit a wall
- After setup, works as a fully capable general assistant — running for free

How It Works
Freeloader recommends this priority stack:
- GitHub Copilot free (primary) — best models, native OpenClaw support via
openclaw setup-token - Groq (fastest fallback) — sub-second inference
- Gemini (high volume) — solid daily limits
- Mistral (huge quota) — 1B tokens/month safety net
Combined, you get thousands of free requests daily across top-tier models.
Security
Freeloader never asks you to paste API keys in chat. All configuration is done via environment variables in ~/.openclaw/.env.
