Apptronik Apollo vs Unitree G1: Turnkey Labor Versus Developer-Friendly Humanoid Hardware

Neither Apollo 2 nor G1 is a ready-to-deploy worker; buyers must budget heavily for engineering, piloting, or integration either way.

  • Price doesn't tell the story: Unitree's $13,500 G1 is the non-programmable base model; programmable EDU versions require contacting sales with no public price.
  • Apollo 2 is a pilot, not a product: Apptronik has no public price, delivery date, or full spec sheet for Apollo 2; it's used for data collection and customer pilots.
