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 | Kangaroo Pro | Qbo Pro Evo Robot with Intelligence |
|---|---|---|
| Investment | $100,000 | $5,495 |
| Payback period | 24.0 mo | 1.3 mo |
| Net savings (5 yr) | $150,000 | $244,505 |
| ROI (5 yr) | +150% | +4450% |
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.
