Robot rental rates by category: what working machines cost per month

Published monthly Robots-as-a-Service rates for cleaning, service, warehouse and humanoid robots, grouped by category, with the machines that have no public rate listed separately.

8 of 22 machines with a published figure · Updated August 20, 2026

A rental rate is the number that turns a robot from a purchase into an income question. This page collects every published monthly rate in the beep catalogue and groups the machines by what they do, because a floor scrubber, a serving robot and a warehouse humanoid are rented on entirely different terms. Most rates bundle the machine, maintenance, software updates and support; a few are hardware-only. Where two figures are shown, the maker or its operators publish a range rather than a single price.

For an owner the rate is the top line, not the yield. What a machine actually earns depends on how many months of the year it is placed with a paying customer and on what it costs to keep it working, which is why each catalogue page puts its rate into a calculator with explicit assumptions rather than quoting a return. We wrote about how these rates came to exist in What a Robot Rents For; the humanoid price table shows what the same machines cost to buy outright.

How the numbers were collected. Rates are published Robots-as-a-Service or leasing rates from the maker or named operators, in US dollars as published. A range means the source publishes one; we never average two providers into a single figure. Machines are listed under “no public rate” when they are sold rather than rented, or when the rate is only available on quotation; we do not infer a rate from a purchase price. Sources are listed on each catalogue page, and the table is regenerated from the catalogue on every build.

Figures are collected from public sources and are for information only. This is neither an investment recommendation nor individual financial advice.
