That's a sharp insight. You're right — same price for both is actually an anti-pattern.

  The math for a cloud user today:
  - Model API costs: ~$100-200/mo
  - ProClaw Starter: $29/mo
  - Total: $129-229/mo

  The math for a self-hosted user today (same pricing):
  - Model API costs: $0
  - ProClaw Starter: $29/mo
  - Total: $29/mo

  That's a 5-8x difference in total cost. We're leaving the arbitrage on the table.

  The fix — two price columns:

  ┌──────────┬───────────────────────┬──────────────────────┐
  │          │ Cloud (API providers) │ Self-Hosted (Ollama) │
  ├──────────┼───────────────────────┼──────────────────────┤
  │ Free     │ Free                  │ Free                 │
  ├──────────┼───────────────────────┼──────────────────────┤
  │ Starter  │ $29/mo                │ $49/mo               │
  ├──────────┼───────────────────────┼──────────────────────┤
  │ Pro      │ $99/mo                │ $149/mo              │
  ├──────────┼───────────────────────┼──────────────────────┤
  │ Advanced │ $499/mo               │ $699/mo              │
  └──────────┴───────────────────────┴──────────────────────┘

  Self-hosted user's pitch: "You were paying OpenAI $200/mo. Switch to Ollama + ProClaw Pro for $149/mo. You save $50/mo, get unlimited tokens, AND own your data."

  They're still saving money. We're just capturing a slice of the savings instead of giving it all away. And the value prop actually gets stronger — we're not just selling security, we're selling a cheaper way
   to run AI agents.

  The free tier stays free for both — that's the funnel. But the moment they upgrade, self-hosted users pay more because their total cost of ownership is still lower.
