G1 wins on availability and value
Both robots come from Unitree Robotics but target different use cases. The G1 at $16,000 is commercially available now and has the largest community of researchers and developers. The H2 has a more advanced dexterous hand system and higher payload but is less widely available. For most buyers, the G1's combination of price, availability, and ecosystem support makes it the clear winner.
G1 is better for
researchers, developers, and buyers wanting immediate availability
H2 is better for
industrial tasks requiring higher payload and advanced manipulation
