Our verdict
Neither is a companion in the lifelike sense: both are faceless home humanoids that walk, wrapped in soft coverings for safety. NEO is the one you can order, at $20,000 or $499 a month, though early units lean on remote human operators for tasks they can't yet handle. Figure 03 has no public price and no sale date beyond a home target, but its Helix AI earns the higher mind score (58 vs 50) and its tactile fingertips are built for fine manipulation.
- Pick Figure 03 if
- Pick Figure 03 if capability matters most and you can wait for a robot that isn't on sale yet.
- Pick NEO if
- Pick NEO if you want a home humanoid you can reserve today at a known price and accept that a remote operator may sometimes see through its cameras.
