The Verdict

MyClaw is a solid choice if all you need is a cheap Linux server for running scripts. But OpenClaw wasn't built for Linux. It needs a real macOS desktop — screen capture, accessibility APIs, native browser automation, and the full Apple ecosystem.

Mac4Claw gives you a dedicated Mac Mini M4 with 24/7 uptime, SSH + VNC + Tailscale access, and hardware that's actually designed to run AI agents at full capacity.

If you're serious about running OpenClaw, there's no VPS that can match real hardware.

Frequently Asked Questions

OpenClaw's computer-use agent relies on native macOS APIs — screen capture, accessibility, and app automation. These don't work on Linux VPS machines. A VPS can run headless scripts, but full agent capabilities require real macOS.
