How much does Boston Dynamics' Spot cost in 2026?
RoboResale
Spot launched at US$74,500 in 2020. Today there's no public price, and the robots that police forces and companies actually buy cost far more.
When Boston Dynamics opened Spot to US businesses in June 2020, the price was public: US$74,500 for the base robot. That online order page is gone. Spot is now sold through Boston Dynamics' sales team, to businesses rather than private buyers, and every quote depends on the setup.
What buyers have paid
- US$74,500: the 2020 launch price of the base robot.
- US$277,917: the value of the Spot donated to the Los Angeles Police Department in 2023.
- About US$750,000: what the New York Police Department paid for two robots in 2023.
What adds to the price
- The arm, for opening doors and picking things up.
- Inspection payloads, such as thermal and zoom cameras, laser scanners and gas sensors.
- Orbit, Boston Dynamics' software for planning missions and running fleets.
- Support, training and spare batteries.
The base robot is the cheapest part of a working Spot.
That gap is why a used Spot is worth a look. Check what's included, whether the software licences move to you, and how many hours the robot has run.
