**What should be compared?**
- Tool access
- Persistent context
- Deployment
- Cost
- Privacy
- Customisation
- Maintenance
**Why replacement may be the wrong question**
Claude may be sufficient for users who want an integrated managed workflow. OpenClaw may remain useful for specialised persistent agents and greater control.
**Community question**
**Would you simplify your system around Claude, or keep OpenClaw for specialised agent workflows?**
