Which one to buy

Choose Loona Petbot if

you want the larger animal: it roams the floor, notices you across the room, and its chat is included in what you paid.

Choose Vector 2.0 if

you want the classic, small enough to live in the corner of a desk, and the two hundred dollar entry matters more to you than a monthly bill.

Be clear about the fee. Vector answers to nothing until the Vector AI membership is paid: $11.99 a month or $99.99 a year, and Digital Dream Labs writes that without it he has no response. Across two years that brings the real cost up against Loona, which has no plan at all. Digital Dream Labs also publishes no size, weight or battery figures for the 2.0, and its store ships inside the United States only.
