Humanoid price tiers, October 2026: where 33 buyable robots actually sit
No single announcement stood out in the last 48 hours, so here is a snapshot of the market from our own dataset. Our index tracks 64 humanoids. Only 33 combine a public price with a for-sale or pre-order status. The rest are enterprise-only, quote-based or not for sale, and we don’t count analyst guesses as offers.
The median entry price across those 33 is $21,800. Entry price means the lowest listed configuration, not the typical one.
Under $10,000: five robots
Unitree R1 (from $4,150) and Booster K1 ($5,999) lead this tier. The tier also holds Weave Isaac 1 (pre-order), LimX Tron 2 and the FF Master Mini. Most are small. K1 is 95 cm tall, so it is a platform for education and research rather than a worker.
$10,000–25,000: fifteen robots
This is the most crowded tier, and the default choice for developers. It includes Unitree G1 (from $13,500), AgiBot X2 ($24,240), Fourier N1, EngineAI SE01 and the 1X NEO pre-order ($20,000). The G1’s range is wide, with a top configuration listed at $73,900, so check which configuration a headline price refers to.
$25,000–60,000: eight robots
Here you get taller bodies and more joints. Unitree H2 starts at $29,900 (31 DoF, 180 cm). Fourier GR-3 starts at $27,500 and has 55 DoF. The tier also includes Booster T2, Dobot Atom, Tiangong Walker, AgiBot A2 Lite, EngineAI T800 and Lightberry Lumi.
$60,000 and up: five robots
Galbot G1 (from $87,000), PNDbotics Adam ($100,000), Neura 4NE-1, Rainbow Robotics RB-Y1 and the FF Futurist sit here. You pay for payload and dexterity, plus support contracts that headline prices tend to omit.
What the tiers say
- Price rises with joint count and height, but not in a straight line. The H2 has 31 DoF at $29,900. The GR-3 has 55 DoF from $27,500.
- The famous names are missing. Tesla Optimus, Figure and Boston Dynamics Atlas have no public price, so they sit outside every tier.
- Check availability before comparing prices. A pre-order is a deposit, not a delivery.
