Do I need a Moonshot AI account to use Kimi in OpenClaw?

What does Kimi K3 cost in OpenClaw?
$1.2 / M input · $3.6 / M output — the same metered price as any other route to the model. Set a per-key budget cap to bound what the tool can spend.
Can I switch models later without touching OpenClaw again?
Yes — the endpoint stays the same; the model is a string. Any catalog id works in the same configuration, including cheaper tiers for bulk work.
