G1 vs Figure 03: which robot wins?
Unitree's G1 against Figure AI's Figure 03 — price, capability, availability, and a verdict you can act on.
| G1 | Figure 03 | |
|---|---|---|
| EST. PRICE | $16,000 | Not for sale |
| HEIGHT | 4′3″ / 130 cm | 5′6″ / 168 cm |
| WEIGHT | ~35 kg | ~60 kg |
| PAYLOAD | 3 kg | 20 kg |
| RUNTIME | ~2 hrs | ~5 hrs |
| DEXTERITY | 23–43 DOF depending on config | High-dexterity hands (Helix AI) |
| AVAILABILITY | Buy today | Commercial only |
| WHICHBOT SCORE | 7.2 / 10 | 8.7 / 10 |
| OUR TAKE | The cheapest way to own a real humanoid right now. Smaller and more of a developer platform than a housekeeper — but it ships. | Arguably the most capable hands in the business — processing hundreds of thousands of packages. Consumers can't buy it. Yet. |

WHICHBOT VERDICT
If you're a consumer, this one decides itself: G1 is the only one of the two you can realistically get — Figure 03 is commercial-only. Figure 03 may score higher on raw capability, but a robot you can't buy scores zero in your living room.
CHOOSE THE G1 IF…
- Tinkerers, developers, and early adopters who want hardware in hand now.

- Lowest price of any real humanoid
CHOOSE THE FIGURE 03 IF…
- Businesses — and consumers watching where home capability will come from next.
- Best-in-class manipulation via the Helix AI stack
- Proven at scale in commercial logistics
