Agent memory on a budget: stretch MemoClaw's free tier before you swipe

Agent memory on a budget: stretch MemoClaw's free tier before you swipe You only get 100 paid operations before MemoClaw asks you for USDC. That sounds tight until you realize most maintenance endpoints cost nothing. If you're prototyping an OpenClaw agent, you can run for weeks on the free tier by being intentional about what hits the embeddings pipeline. MemoClaw also lives outside your prompt window. Park a memory here and it's one less token block stuffed into context, which keeps long-running builds fast and cheap. Know which calls burn credits MemoClaw only charges when it has to embed or run GPT-4o-mini. Everything else is free. Keep this table taped next to your console: Operation Endpoint Cost Notes Store single memory memoclaw store $0.005 Paid - uses embeddings Store batch (≤100) memoclaw store --batch $0.04 Paid - cheapest way to import onboarding data Recall / semantic search memoclaw recall $0.005 Paid - every recall pulls semantic vectors Context / consolidate / migrate
