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 | SWITCH V2 | X20 |
|---|---|---|
| Investment | $123,600 | $73,000 |
| Payback period | 29.7 mo | 17.5 mo |
| Net savings (5 yr) | $126,400 | $177,000 |
| ROI (5 yr) | +102% | +242% |
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.
