Digit vs Apollo

Two American humanoids built for real work. Digit is already earning revenue in warehouses. Apollo is a heavier, modular machine still in factory pilots.

The short version

Choose Digit if you need a proven tote-handling robot you can rent today. Choose Apollo if you need a bigger payload for manufacturing and can work through a pilot with Apptronik.

Where they are deployed

Digit has moved more than 100,000 totes at GXO and has paying contracts with Toyota Canada and Mercado Libre. Agility's Form S-4, filed 7 September 2026, reports nine customer sites and more than 65,000 operating hours. It also shows 2025 net sales of $1.8 million, so the revenue is real but still small.

Apollo has worked on Mercedes-Benz automotive lines since late 2025 and is moving into GXO logistics. In August 2026 Jabil agreed to help scale Apollo production and to use Apollo in its own plants, eventually including the lines that build Apollos.

Price and how to buy

Digit is the only robot here with a published price. You can rent it as a service for $8,500 a month plus a $25,000 deployment fee, or buy it for $200,000. Those figures appear in Agility's SEC filing. Apptronik has not published a price for Apollo; it is sold on enterprise terms, by quote.

Which buyer each suits

Digit's 16 kg payload and bird-like legs are tuned for totes and parcels in existing warehouse flows, and the subscription keeps upfront cost low. Apollo's 25 kg payload and swappable battery suit heavier manufacturing tasks and continuous shifts. It is earlier in its commercial life.
