200-dollar OpenAI users slam dots as a worse OpenClaw as usage shrinks
Tevinhead · reddit · 2026-09-30
- A Redditor calls OpenAI's new "dots" a worse OpenClaw: the open-source alternative is more customizable, transparent, model-agnostic, self-hostable, and Telegram voice notes beat awkward phone calls with restricted logins.
- On the $200 plan, the author feels they traded usage for a product they'll never use, arguing Claude's $100 plan plus a rented server running OpenClaw gives more power and control.
- The bigger fear: OpenAI normalizing higher pricing means Anthropic no longer faces pressure to keep generous usage limits.
