How does VLUNA work with OpenClaw?

VLUNA wraps your existing LLM API calls with a simple one-line integration. It tracks costs across all models your OpenClaw agent uses — Claude, GPT, DeepSeek, and more — and lets you add credit-based pricing so users pay for what they use.

Can I track API costs per user in my OpenClaw agent?

Yes. VLUNA meters every API call and maps it to individual users, channels, and skills in your agent. You get full visibility into which users and actions are driving costs.

How do I monetize my OpenClaw agent with VLUNA?

VLUNA provides credit-based pricing out of the box. Give users a credit balance, set pricing tiers, connect Stripe, and start earning. Credits deplete based on real usage, and users can top up automatically.

VLUNA for OpenClaw — Control Costs & Monetize Your AI Agent

The Problem

Powerful agent. No way to control costs or earn from it.

Your agent handles 20+ channels and calls multiple LLMs — but there's no built-in way to track spend, set limits, or charge your users.

API costs add up fast

Every message triggers LLM calls to Claude, GPT, or DeepSeek. With agents running across multiple channels 24/7, costs spiral without warning.

No per-user visibility

You can see your total API bill, but you can't tell which user, channel, or skill is driving the spend. You're flying blind.

You're leaving money on the table

People love your agent — but you have no credits, no pricing tiers, no Stripe integration. You're paying for their usage instead of earning from it.

How It Works

Add VLUNA to your agent in 3 steps

No rewrites. No new SDKs to learn. Just plug in and start tracking.

Authorize before each call

Before any LLM call, VLUNA checks if the user has enough credits. If not, the call is blocked — no surprise bills.

Commit actual usage

After the call completes, VLUNA records actual token usage — input, output, and cached — and deducts credits based on real consumption.

Add credits & Stripe

Set up plans, fund wallets with credit grants, and connect Stripe. Users buy credits, use your agent, and top up when they run out.

Control costs. Monetize usage. Grow revenue.

Everything you need to turn your AI agent from a cost center into a paid product.

Multi-model cost tracking

Track costs across Claude, GPT, DeepSeek, Gemini, and any model your agent routes to. See exactly where every dollar goes.

Per-user metering

Know which user, channel, or AgentSkill is driving spend. Break down costs by WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack — wherever your agent runs.

Credit-based pricing

Give each user a credit balance. Credits deplete based on real usage. Set free tiers, paid plans, and hard limits — all configurable.

Usage gating

Automatically block or throttle usage when credits run out. No unexpected bills, no overages, no surprises for you or your users.

Build-in Stripe payments

Connect Stripe in minutes. Users can buy credits, subscribe to plans, or top up — all handled automatically by VLUNA.

Revenue intelligence

See profit per user, cost per action, and revenue trends in real time. Know exactly which users and features are profitable.

Integration

Authorize. Execute. Commit.

Three steps around your existing LLM calls. VLUNA handles the rest.

            
            
            
            agent.ts
          

import { createServiceClient } from '@neurowaveai/sdk'

// 1. Authorize — check credits before expensive work
const authz = await client.s2s.gate.authorize({
  feature_code: 'openai.gpt5',
  feature_family_code: 'llm.standard',
  estimated_quantity_minor: '1200',
}, { principalId: user.id, idempotencyKey: 'ik_auth_001' })

// 2. Execute — run the model call
const response = await llm.chat({
  model: "claude-sonnet-4-20250514",
  messages: userMessages
})

// 3. Commit — record actual usage, deduct credits
await client.s2s.gate.commit({
  lease_token: authz.data.lease_token,
  feature_code: 'openai.gpt5',
  quantity_minor: '1200',
  meters: [
    { meter_code: 'openai.gpt5.tokens.input', quantity_minor: '800' },
    { meter_code: 'openai.gpt5.tokens.output', quantity_minor: '400' },
  ],
}, { principalId: user.id, idempotencyKey: 'ik_commit_001' })
// Done. Authorized, metered, and committed.
          

Your agent works. Now make it earn.
