| SENSING | LiDAR + force sensors + vision | Concrete, plywood, vinyl, tarmac |
| CREW | 1 rooftop operator (vs 3-person crew) | About one 8-hour shift on a battery pair |
| AVAILABILITY | Service contract | Purchase + usage |
| WHICHBOT SCORE | 8.6 / 10 | 7.9 / 10 |
| OUR TAKE | The robot cleaning Manhattan skyscrapers right now. Rides the building's existing window-washing cradle, cleans ~3× faster than human crews, and keeps workers off the facade. | The portable layout printer. Reads a 2D plan and prints lines, arcs, points and text onto the slab to an eighth of an inch, on concrete, plywood, vinyl or tarmac. |

Detailed comparison: Ozmo vs SitePrint
Ozmo scores 8.6/10 in our independent evaluation; SitePrint scores 7.9/10. That 0.7-point gap reflects real differences in capability or value, but SitePrint may still win if its strengths match your priorities.
Ozmo is best for: Class A commercial towers and facade-maintenance contractors who want faster, safer window cleaning without retrofitting the building. SitePrint is best for: Contractors with varied, smaller floor plates who need layout on more than one surface type and lack the volume to justify a subscription.
Our scoring weighs five factors: autonomous capability, independent verification (third-party evidence scores higher than manufacturer claims), commercial deployment scale, price-to-capability ratio, and real-world availability today. Neither robot here is scored on marketing alone. Ozmo and SitePrint are both worth evaluating — the right call depends on which robot's documented strengths match your actual workflow.
CHOOSE THE OZMO IF…
- Class A commercial towers and facade-maintenance contractors who want faster, safer window cleaning without retrofitting the building.
- Actually deployed full-time on major NYC towers
- Works with the building's existing cradle/BMU - no retrofit
CHOOSE THE SITEPRINT IF…
- Contractors with varied, smaller floor plates who need layout on more than one surface type and lack the volume to justify a subscription.
- Prints text and arcs, not only wall lines
- Works on four surface types including plywood and tarmac
