Remote vs in-home OpenClaw setup: which one should you book?

Choose remote if you mainly need install help and onboarding. Choose in-home if your network is flaky, you want help with placement, or you want someone to handle the setup physically.

Remote is best for

  • Fast installs
  • Lower cost
  • People outside the DMV
  • Basic onboarding

In-home is best for

  • Wi-Fi issues
  • Physical placement help
  • Families or teams
  • White-glove experience
