OpenClaw Skills Marketplace
The OpenClaw skills marketplace is the buyer-side view of ClawHub: browse 3,200+ skills by rating, install with one click, and (for paid skills) pay a one-time or recurring fee. Here is how it works for both consumers and publishers.
Free vs Paid Skills
Most skills on ClawHub are free and open source. A growing minority are paid: usually skills that wrap a costly API (e.g., premium scraping, specialized data feeds) or that took serious engineering to build. The split looks roughly like:
- ~95% free — community packages, OSS
- ~5% paid — commercial wrappers, premium data, certified vendors
Browsing the Marketplace
Open clawhub.comand filter by:
- Category — web, code, comms, data, files, media
- Price — free, one-time, recurring
- Rating — community star rating, lifetime install count
- Publisher — verified vs unverified accounts
Buying a Paid Skill
On a paid skill listing, click Install. You'll be redirected to a Stripe-backed checkout. Once paid, ClawHub issues a license token; the OpenClaw CLI reads it from your account config and unlocks the install:
# Install a paid skill (license auto-resolved if you've purchased)
openclaw skills install premium-scraper
# Check your active licenses

ClawHub takes a flat platform fee on paid installs; the rest goes to the publisher via Stripe Connect. The flow:
- Build and test the skill locally with
openclaw skills install -l ./ - Publish to ClawHub with
openclaw skills publish - Set pricing in your ClawHub publisher dashboard
- Connect Stripe and verify your account for payouts
- Promote your listing — the marketplace ranks by ratings and downloads
Ratings and Trust
The marketplace surfaces three trust signals on every listing:
- Verified publisher — identity and Stripe verified
- Install count — lifetime number of installs (with rolling 30-day delta)
- Star rating — average from users who installed and used the skill
Compared to the Skills Hub
Marketplace and skills hub are two views of the same registry: marketplace is the buying / discovery experience, hub is the developer / install experience. They share data — a skill you publish to the hub shows up in the marketplace automatically.
