EMO vs Eilik: is the cheaper one enough? Speech against silence: $279 to $369 against about $149.
Loona vs Petoi Bittle: a robot pet or a robot you build? A finished pet against a kit you code.

How to read it
Answer three questions and the summary shrinks to two rows: does it need to move through a room or sit on a desk; does it need to talk or only react; who is it for, an adult, a child from the age on the box, or an older relative. Then read the two rows on Wi-Fi, subscription and battery, because those decide the year after; the full checklist is 15 questions to ask before buying a robot pet. Prices with anything charged after are in How much does a robot pet really cost, with the subscriptions?.
