OpenClaw API credit burn versus Perplexity Max 200 dollars per month

April 4, 2026Prajwal Tomar

Prajwal Tomar says OpenClaw can burn API credits extremely fast with top models, making flat-rate plans like Perplexity Max feel cheaper in practice despite higher sticker price.

I thought $200/month for Perplexity Max was expensive until I started using OpenClaw.
Burned through $100 in API credits in ONE day with Opus 4.6.
Tried cheaper models on OpenRouter and the quality dropped immediately.
