Meet the platforms
Spinnable
Spinnable is a platform for hiring autonomous AI employees that own a full role rather than a single task. Each one gets its own email address and phone number, persistent memory of your business, and one-click access to 50+ tools. You describe the role in plain English, and your AI employee starts working in about 60 seconds, following up and reporting results without being prompted.
Hire your first AI employeeOpenClaw
OpenClaw is an open-source AI agent framework for people who want to run their own assistant. A one-line installer gets it onto your machine or server, you bring your own model API keys, and a persistent daemon wires the agent to 12+ messaging platforms with a heartbeat scheduler and memory that persists between runs. It is free, auditable, and highly extensible, with an active developer community and no managed service behind it.

Frequently asked questions
When should I choose Spinnable over OpenClaw?
Choose Spinnable when you want a working AI employee without an operations project: hired in 60 seconds, its own email and phone number, persistent business memory, proactive reporting, managed security, and support. No terminal, no config files, no servers to keep alive.
When does OpenClaw make more sense than Spinnable?
If you are a developer who wants total control, full auditability, zero license cost, and data on your own machines, and you enjoy operating what you run, OpenClaw is a genuinely great choice. It rewards exactly the effort it demands.
Is OpenClaw really free?
The software is free and open source. You pay your model provider per token for the agent's thinking, and you invest the hours to install, configure, and maintain it. Spinnable is $50 to $399 per month flat with a 15-day free trial, with all of that operating work done for you.
How does setup compare?
OpenClaw setup is a developer task: terminal install, config files, model API keys, credential wiring, typically hours before a useful agent exists. Spinnable takes about 60 seconds: describe the role in plain English and connect tools with one-click OAuth.
Can OpenClaw agents email or call my customers?
Partly. OpenClaw's daemon connects to 12+ messaging platforms through accounts and tokens you wire up yourself, but it ships no identity of its own: no provisioned business email address or phone number. Spinnable workers each come with both, plus WhatsApp and Slack, from day one.
Which is more secure?
They are different bets. OpenClaw is as secure as your deployment: auditable code, local control, and every hardening decision yours. Spinnable ships a managed posture: per-worker OAuth scoping, encrypted EU-hosted backups, GDPR with SCCs, and SOC 2 Type II in progress.
What about privacy?
Self-hosted OpenClaw keeps data on infrastructure you control, the strongest residency stance there is. Spinnable answers contractually: a no-training DPA, zero-data-retention AI subprocessors, and EU-hosted encrypted backups, so your data is never training data.
Does OpenClaw have support?
OpenClaw has an active community, docs, and issue trackers, and no support desk or SLA: when something breaks, you or the community fixes it. Spinnable is a supported product with a team behind it.
Does OpenClaw remember things between sessions?
Yes, OpenClaw's memory persists between runs and stays local, which is great for privacy. Shaping that raw persistence into business memory, what compounds, what surfaces when, is your design work. Spinnable workers build structured memory of your customers, preferences, and processes automatically, and it compounds with every correction.
Can I use OpenClaw and Spinnable together?
Yes. Some technical founders keep a personal OpenClaw agent for local experiments while their company runs Spinnable workers for customer-facing roles: outreach, inbox, support, and reporting. The two do not overlap much in practice.
