Service Robot Pricing Trends
Service robot pricing depends on the business model as much as the hardware.
What moves the price
| Driver | Effect |
|---|---|
| Hardware cost | Falls with volume and component localisation |
| Service content | Bundling service changes the headline price |
| Utilisation assumptions | Pricing per unit of work shifts risk |
| Competition | More entrants compress margins |
| Regulation | Compliance cost added to the unit |
What buyers should compare
- Per-unit-of-work pricing against outright purchase.
- What is included in the service and what is charged extra.
- The cost of the robot being unavailable.
Service robot pricing is commercial information and varies widely. Compare on total cost for your own usage profile.
