Introduction
1X publishes a consumer-facing NEO order page with three different numbers that should not be confused: a $200 deposit due today, $20,000 Early Access ownership with a three-year warranty and premium support, and a $499/month Standard subscription. Figure does not publish a retail price or general consumer checkout flow. A fair comparison therefore separates deposit, ownership price, subscription terms, delivery access and enterprise-only pricing rather than reducing both companies to one headline number.
Key findings
- 1X currently lists NEO Early Access ownership at $20,000 with a three-year warranty and premium support.
- 1X also lists a Standard subscription at $499 per month and a $200 deposit due at order time.
- The deposit is not the full robot price and should not be reported as such.
- Figure does not publish a verified retail price or general consumer ordering channel for Figure 03.
- NEO therefore has the clearer consumer-facing access path, while Figure access remains tied to enterprise partnerships and deployments.
Consumer Preorders Compared With Enterprise Humanoid Access - evidence comparison
The table uses source-backed fields and leaves non-comparable or undisclosed information visible.
| System, category or question | Verified evidence | Interpretation or limitation |
|---|---|---|
| 1X NEO Early Access ownership | $20,000 ownership with three-year warranty, premium support and priority delivery. | Official consumer order term; taxes, location-specific costs and future service changes should still be checked. |
| 1X NEO Standard subscription | $499 per month with starter productivity package and standard delivery. | Subscription terms are not equivalent to ownership and should be compared over the intended usage period. |
| 1X deposit | $200 due today on the official order page. | Reservation deposit, not the robot price. |
| Figure 03 | No public verified retail price or general consumer checkout flow located in Figure's official material. | Enterprise agreement terms and integration costs may differ by customer. |
Consumer ownership, subscription and deposit figures are different commercial terms. Figure's enterprise access should not be converted into an estimated retail price without an official source.
Evidence classification
- Confirmed by official technical documentation specifications, architecture or access stated by the responsible organization.
- Confirmed by a research paper result reported under a defined experiment, without implying deployment.
- Demonstrated on a real system a physical robot or product performed the documented sequence.
- Company claim without independent verification numerical or operational statement supplied by the company.
- Public evidence insufficient version, control mode, duration, trial count or operating conditions are missing.
Definition and scope
1X publishes consumer-facing NEO preorder terms, while Figure does not publish a retail price or general consumer ordering channel. Comparing them requires separating deposit, full cost, subscription and enterprise agreement. This article records current official terms, access model, expected service, remote assistance, cancellation information and missing pricing fields.
The comparison uses current official order and product pages and leaves Figure's undisclosed retail pricing explicitly unknown instead of estimating it.
How the complete pipeline works
NEO access begins through an official preorder or early-access process. Figure access is negotiated through enterprise partnerships and pilots. Neither pathway should be reduced to a single headline number.
Key systems, products and technical evidence
1X's official order page currently exposes three distinct commercial terms: $20,000 Early Access ownership, $499/month Standard subscription and a $200 deposit. Figure provides product and partnership material but no public retail price. These access models are not treated as interchangeable.
Evidence from real systems
NEO demonstrations and product information support a home-service program. Figure demonstrations support industrial development. Public delivery quantities and service reliability remain limited. Real-system evidence is separated from simulation, internal testing, controlled public demonstrations, pilots and commercial deployment.
Failure modes and misleading interpretations
A deposit is not the robot price. Subscription cost can omit long-term service changes, and enterprise pricing may include integration unavailable to consumers.
Misleading conclusions about 1X NEO price often begin with one missing qualifier simulated, teleoperated, target, preorder, internal test or selected attempt.
Practical applications and current maturity
NEO has the clearer consumer-facing access path. Figure remains an enterprise platform whose price cannot be verified from an official public list. These uses are credible only within the documented task, robot and environment.
Practical use of 1X NEO price depends on who can diagnose failures and restore service. A laboratory may tolerate manual resets and daily calibration; a factory or home cannot. Support, observability and safe fallback behavior therefore belong in the maturity assessment alongside model or hardware capability.
Open problems and recommendations
The central unresolved questions are How many NEO deposits convert to deliveries?; Which regions receive early access first?; What services are bundled into enterprise Figure agreements?. Answering them requires common protocols, unedited trials and reporting that includes failures rather than only successful sequences.
The recommended next step for 1X NEO price is not a broader claim but a narrower, repeatable test. That evidence can support later comparisons without inventing equivalence.
Limitations and missing information
- Benchmarks from different robots, versions, environments or control modes are not directly comparable.
- Company-reported metrics are not independently audited unless a separate primary record establishes the same result.
- Code, weights, prices, model versions, APIs and commercial availability can change after publication.
- Long-duration reliability, intervention frequency and complete failure distributions are rarely published.
Conclusion
As of September 26, 2026, 1X NEO has a public consumer pricing structure: $20,000 Early Access ownership, $499/month Standard subscription and a $200 deposit. Figure 03 has no verified public retail price or consumer checkout flow. The useful comparison is therefore access model and total terms, not a guessed price ranking. Figure enterprise pricing should remain undisclosed until Figure publishes it.
Frequently asked questions
What is the current 1X NEO price?
1X lists Early Access ownership at $20,000 and a Standard subscription at $499 per month. The official order page also shows a $200 deposit due today. Those are separate commercial terms, not three competing estimates of the same price.
What does the $200 NEO deposit cover?
The $200 amount is the deposit shown on the official NEO order page. It is not the full purchase price. Buyers should review the selected ownership or subscription plan, delivery terms, warranty/support and any local taxes or fees before treating the order as a total-cost figure.
What does Figure 03 cost?
Figure does not publish a verified public retail price or general consumer ordering channel for Figure 03 in the official material reviewed. Enterprise agreement terms should remain undisclosed rather than estimated from funding, manufacturing or partnership announcements.
Sources and methodology
Sources for NEO and Figure pricing were rechecked on September 26, 2026 using the official 1X NEO order page and current Figure product/news pages. Consumer ownership, subscription, deposit and enterprise access are recorded as separate commercial terms.
For 1X NEO price, evidence is sorted by test setting and control mode simulation is kept apart from physical trials, teleoperation from autonomous execution, and announced access from a system that can actually be obtained or deployed.
No Figure retail price is inferred from secondary sources, funding rounds or enterprise agreements. Missing price and contract fields remain undisclosed.
