Introduction
A humanoid price only becomes useful when the exact model and region are recorded. Unitree's current official store lists G1 from $13,500, R1 from $4,900, R1-D from $4,290 and H2 at $29,900. The R1 product page distinguishes R1 Air at $4,900 from R1 at $5,900, so a generic R1 starting price should not be read as the price of every R1 configuration.
Booster's current official sales page routes buyers through an inquiry form and does not display a K1 price. Freight, customs, taxes, dexterous hands, EDU features, software access and support can change the delivered cost. Quote-only robots remain quote-only unless the manufacturer publishes a dated total price.
Key findings
- Unitree currently publishes direct prices for several humanoids, including G1, R1 family models, R1-D and H2.
- The R1 family needs configuration-level labeling because the official product page lists R1 Air at $4,900 and R1 at $5,900.
- Booster's current official purchase page uses a sales inquiry and does not display a K1 price.
- Displayed prices can exclude freight, customs, tax, optional hands, EDU features and support.
- Price checks need a date because manufacturer listings can change.
Chinese Humanoid Robot Prices What the Listings Include - evidence comparison
The table records what each source establishes and keeps missing data visible.
| System or method | What the evidence establishes | Evidence class | Main unresolved point |
|---|---|---|---|
| Unitree G1 | Official store price starts at $13,500. The base and EDU configurations differ in development access and optional hardware. | Official public price | Tax, freight, customs and optional hands can change delivered cost. |
| Unitree R1 family | The official R1 page lists R1 Air at $4,900 and R1 at $5,900; the store also lists the family from $4,900. | Official public price | The model name must be recorded with the quoted price. |
| Unitree R1-D and H2 | The official store lists R1-D from $4,290 and H2 at $29,900. | Official public price | Configurations, EDU access, customs and shipping can add cost. |
| Booster K1 | Booster's current official store routes buyers to a sales inquiry and does not display a K1 price. | Official quote-only sales channel | A current public total price is not confirmed on the manufacturer sales page. |
| Other quote-only Chinese humanoids | No total price should be inferred from media reports, reservations or component bills of materials. | Price not publicly confirmed | A sales quote can vary by configuration, region and support. |
Evidence classification
- Officially documented specifications, standards or project status stated by the responsible organization.
- Real-system evidence demonstrations or deployments performed on physical hardware under described conditions.
- Company claim a numerical or operational statement reported by the company and not independently audited.
- Simulation or research evidence useful for mechanisms, but not proof of field deployment.
- Insufficient public evidence control mode, trial count, version or operating conditions are missing.
What a public robot price should include
Record the model, configuration, currency, region and date. A store price can cover the base body while hands, developer compute, batteries, freight, customs and support are sold separately.
Reservations and deposits should be labeled as such. A deposit does not establish the total purchase price unless the manufacturer also publishes the remaining amount.
Unitree prices need model-level labels
Unitree's current public store gives direct reference prices for several humanoids. G1 starts at $13,500, R1-D starts at $4,290 and H2 is listed at $29,900.
For the R1 family, the product page lists R1 Air at $4,900 and R1 at $5,900. The family store page starts at $4,900, so an article should name the exact R1 variant beside the price.
Quote-only sales should remain quote-only
Booster's current official purchase page routes K1 buyers through a sales inquiry and does not display a total price. A previous public or reseller figure should not be presented as a current manufacturer price without a dated primary record.
The same rule applies to other Chinese humanoids sold by quotation. Media estimates, component bills of materials and reservation amounts are separate from a manufacturer-issued total.
Delivered cost can exceed the headline price
Freight, import duties, local tax, spare batteries, fall protection, dexterous hands, compute and support can add to the base robot cost. EDU and developer configurations may also include different software rights or hardware.
For a research budget, compare delivered configuration and required accessories rather than the lowest number shown on a product card.
How to keep the table current
Recheck the manufacturer's product and store pages before using a price. Preserve the verification date and do not silently replace an older price when the configuration name has changed.
Limitations and missing information
- Prices can change rapidly.
- Shipping, customs, warranty and local support are often not displayed.
- A public price does not guarantee inventory or delivery date.
- Specifications, prices, repositories and deployment status can change after publication.
- Benchmarks from different robots or environments are not directly comparable.
Conclusion
Current manufacturer pages give useful price anchors for several Unitree humanoids, but the exact configuration matters. R1 Air and R1 carry different listed prices, while Booster K1 is currently sold through an inquiry page without a public manufacturer total. A purchase budget should include the dated base price plus freight, tax, customs, hands, compute and support.
Frequently asked questions
What is the current public starting price for Unitree G1?
Unitree's official store lists G1 from $13,500. Freight, tax, customs, optional hands and EDU features can add to the delivered cost.
How much does the Unitree R1 cost?
Unitree's R1 product page lists R1 Air at $4,900 and R1 at $5,900. The store family listing starts at $4,900, so the exact variant should be named beside the price.
Does Booster publish a current K1 price?
The current official Booster purchase page routes K1 buyers through a sales inquiry and does not display a total manufacturer price.
What costs can be missing from a humanoid robot list price?
Freight, import duties, local tax, optional dexterous hands, developer compute, spare batteries, support and integration can be separate.
How should quote-only humanoids be compared?
Use a dated manufacturer quotation for the exact configuration. Do not convert a reservation, media estimate or component bill into a complete robot price.
Sources and methodology
Prices and sales channels were rechecked on September 25, 2026 against Unitree product and store pages and Booster's official purchase page. Missing public prices remain quote-only rather than being filled from reseller listings.
