How much does a home humanoid robot cost?

A home humanoid robot costs $20,000 to buy outright or $499 a month to subscribe, if you mean 1X NEO, the only robot built for homes that you can reserve today. Cheaper humanoids exist, starting at $4,900, but they are hobby and research machines that do not do household chores. Most of the famous names, Figure and Tesla included, have published no price at all.

Below is every price we could confirm from a maker’s own page or a credible report, checked November 1, 2026.

Every published price

One non-humanoid sits close by. Weave’s Isaac 1, a wheeled laundry and tidying robot, takes pre-orders at $7,999 or $449 a month with a $250 refundable deposit, according to The Gadgeteer. It is not a humanoid, but it shows where chore robots are being priced.

Own versus subscription for NEO

1X’s order page splits NEO into two offers. Early Access ownership is $20,000 and includes a three-year warranty, premium support and priority delivery. The Standard subscription is $499 a month and includes a Starter Productivity Package and standard delivery. The order page does not say whether a subscription is required to run a robot you own, and it does not give cancellation terms.

Here is what the subscription adds up to:

The two offers cost the same at about 40 months. If you plan to keep the robot longer than that and the robot works, owning is cheaper on paper. If you want to try one and leave, the subscription caps your downside. The subscription versus buying guide goes through the questions to ask before you choose.

What the sticker price leaves out

• Shipping and duties on imports. Unitree’s shop lists shipping from $300 to $1,200 on the R1 and G1, and the buyer pays all customs duties, taxes and import clearance. An R1 at $4,900 therefore costs at least $5,200 delivered, before duties.
• Tax. We found no mention of sales tax on NEO’s order page. Unitree says its prices exclude tax.
• Software and packages. NEO’s subscription includes a Starter Productivity Package. What other packages cost, if any, is not on the order page.
• Warranty. Unitree lists 6 to 18 months depending on model. NEO ownership includes 3 years.
• Repairs and batteries. No maker we reviewed publishes a repair price list or a battery replacement price.

What each price level buys

The published prices map to very different machines. At $4,900, Unitree’s R1 Air weighs about 27 kg, has 20 degrees of freedom and runs for roughly an hour. At $13,500 the G1 weighs about 35 kg, has 23 degrees of freedom, runs about two hours and has a 2 kg arm payload. At $29,900 the H2 is a 182 cm, 70 kg machine with 31 degrees of freedom, about three hours of battery and a rated arm payload of about 7 kg. None of the three is sold for housework.

NEO at $20,000 is the only price in the list attached to a robot built for homes. That makes it the number most buyers should compare against: 30 kg, about four hours of battery, a carry capacity of 55 lb, and a remote-expert fallback for tasks it cannot do yet.

Prices to treat with suspicion

Search results are full of numbers for robots whose makers have published none. Figure’s site has no price for Figure 03, and Figure’s CEO Brett Adcock told TIME in October 2025 only that the company hopes to get a robot into homes in 2026 and called it a big push. Tesla has not published a price for Optimus either. In October 2024, around the We, Robot event, Musk estimated it would eventually cost $20,000 to $30,000. Wikipedia attributes that estimate to Musk. I-Programmer presents it as the expected price once production is at scale and adds that the first units are likely to cost more. For AgiBot, the price tracker BotInfo.ai reported $25,600 for the X2 Neo on October 5, 2026, but AgiBot’s own store page lists no prices. Neither number is a confirmed price.

NEURA’s €98,000 is an estimate on its reservation page, not a final price. Sunday’s $20,000 is what it costs the company to hand-build one Memo, and Sunday says it does not expect that to be the retail price. It says large-scale manufacturing should cut costs by at least 50%, with pricing announced closer to launch.

Is $20,000 a lot for what you get?

That depends on what the robot does. A robot vacuum is a useful comparison because it is the one home robot that does a job reliably today. iRobot’s site on November 1, 2026 listed the Roomba Plus 415 Combo with an AutoWash dock at $379.99 (was $599.99) and the Roomba Plus 575 Combo at $499.99 (was $799.99), both limited-time prices. NEO costs roughly 40 to 50 times as much as those, and early units rely on a remote human for many tasks. The humanoid versus robot vacuum guide works through what to buy now.

What to do with this

If you are only curious, you can reserve NEO for a refundable $200. 1X says the deposit is fully refundable, and an October 2026 report quoting its FAQ says it stays refundable until your robot is ready for delivery. Do not pay more than a refundable deposit until independent owners confirm that robots are arriving and working. Our guide on whether you can buy a humanoid today lists what you can order right now.
