Digit is more commercially mature in 2026 — it has 200+ units deployed at Amazon while Optimus remains in limited pilot with ~10 units. However, Tesla Optimus targets a dramatically lower price ($20–30K vs Digit's ~$250K). For commercial use today, Digit wins. For long-term consumer scale, Optimus is the bet.
Digit's primary deployment is with Amazon, which has invested $100M and operates 200+ units across its fulfillment centers for tote movement and package handling. Agility also runs a production facility (Digit Factory) in Salem, Oregon.
Digit is estimated at around $250,000 per unit for commercial customers in 2026. This is significantly higher than Unitree G1 ($16K) but includes full commercial support. Tesla Optimus targets $20–30K when it reaches mass production.
Digit has the longest proven commercial deployment record of any humanoid in 2026. Its reverse-articulated legs (inspired by bird anatomy) give it exceptional balance in tight warehouse spaces. The Amazon partnership has also given Agility real-world training data that competitors lack.
