Eilik vs Eiliko
The same maker at two prices. The dear one moves and stays offline; the cheap one talks and needs the internet.
Which one to buy
Choose Eilik if
you want the arms, the moods, the mini games and a robot that works with no connection at all.
Choose Eiliko if
you want a talking face on a desk for under sixty dollars and can live with far less movement.
Eiliko is the smaller purchase in every sense: seventy grams, fewer physical moves, and its chat runs through the cloud rather than on the device. Energize Lab does not publish its battery life, so that row stays blank. Eilik never understands speech, but it never asks for a network either.
