EmpirioLabs Hosted Agents review
Always-on OpenClaw and Hermes hosting with persistent storage and broad connections.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
EmpirioLabs Hosted Agents provides cloud hosting for always-on OpenClaw and Hermes agents, with management through a web dashboard or API. It suits solo users and small or mid-market teams that want persistent agents connected to messaging channels, work apps, and tools without managing the runtime themselves. Each agent has account isolation and persistent storage; agents can also run code in isolated sandboxes, browse web pages, and save screenshots. The focus is hosting and connecting these two runtimes rather than offering a general-purpose agent template catalog.
Plans are billed per deployed agent, and model usage is charged separately. Hosted Agent Basic costs $15 per agent per month or $162 per agent per year, with a managed always-on runtime and 10 GB persistent storage. Hosted Agent Pro costs $30 per agent per month or $324 per agent per year; it adds more memory and CPU for busy agents and 20 GB persistent storage. Both tiers keep model costs outside the runtime subscription. The published plans do not quantify CPU or memory, so teams comparing resource requirements should account for that uncertainty before choosing Pro.
Its connector range is a notable fit for teams that need an agent reachable across Telegram, Discord, Slack, Matrix, Microsoft Teams, Mattermost, or WhatsApp, alongside Gmail, Google Drive, GitHub, and Notion. Remote MCP connectors extend the tools agents can connect to, and users can add or manage agent skills. Model options include EmpirioLabs models, Poe, or a compatible custom provider. Pick it when persistent hosting and these runtime and connection options matter; look elsewhere if a free plan is essential or if you need published resource quantities to size workloads precisely. Support is through email.
