ROI Comparison
Same operating assumptions across every robot — the only difference is price. Set your numbers once to see which pays back fastest.
Annual labor displaced (per robot): $50,000
| Metric | Skypod | Reeman Flyboat Max |
|---|---|---|
| Investment | $122,500 | $6,980 |
| Payback period | 29.4 mo | 1.7 mo |
| Net savings (5 yr) | $127,500 | $243,020 |
| ROI (5 yr) | +104% | +3482% |
Estimates labor-cost displacement only — not a full total cost of ownership. Actual ROI depends on integration, maintenance, training, downtime, and task fit. Converted currencies are indicative; USD is the price of record.
