Our verdict
Aria is the proven version of what Moya promises. It has shipped, with a 17-motor silicone face and a reality score of 75; Moya is a prototype whose warm skin, mirroring face and 92% human gait are untested claims, and it scores 4 for reality. Moya's claimed walk is the one thing Aria can't offer, since Aria rides a wheeled base. Neither is easy to buy: Realbotix stopped listing the $125,000 F-Series in October 2026, and Moya's price is an unconfirmed estimate of about $173,000.
- Pick Aria if
- Pick Aria if you want the most lifelike companion that has actually reached customers, can accept that it doesn't walk, and Realbotix will still build one.
- Pick Moya if
- Pick Moya only as one to watch, since it isn't for sale, its price is an estimate and no spec has been independently tested.
