LobsterCloud
LobsterCloud runs your personal AI assistant 24/7 on a dedicated 4 vCPU server — bring your own API keys, access via Telegram, Discord, or Slack — from $40/month with a 7-day free trial.
About
LobsterCloud is a managed hosting service providing a dedicated personal AI assistant built on OpenClaw that operates continuously on isolated infrastructure. Users connect their preferred model provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, or OpenRouter) using their own API keys, and interact with the assistant via Telegram, Discord, or Slack. Each instance runs on a dedicated 4 vCPU, 6 GB RAM, 20 GB storage server rather than a shared environment. Browser automation and persistent memory are included. At $40/month with a 7-day free trial, it's positioned as an affordable entry point to always-on dedicated agent hosting with a clear, transparent pricing model — uncommon in this space.
Individuals and small teams who want a reliable, always-on personal AI assistant on dedicated infrastructure without managing a server — particularly those who have tried shared managed hosting and found performance inconsistent, and who value transparent pricing over having to request a quote.
Pros & Cons
Pros
