Methodology

Sources. Public web pages only: provider websites and published rate cards, public tenders, extension-service and regulator publications. Every price row links to the page that states it, with the date that page gives (as_of).

Units. A job (use case) is one kind of robot work a buyer can hire or buy, such as drone crop spraying. A price point is one sourced price row: a published price or range, in its original currency and unit.

Exclusions. No estimates, no prices from private quotes, and no demand data. Currency is never converted in these figures.

Sample. 681 providers; 166 countries with at least one provider. Data as of Oct 25, 2026, frozen in release 2026-10.

Caveats

  • Search so far has been strongest in English-language sources, which inflates English-speaking countries.
  • Headquarters is not a service area: a provider based in one country may only work in another.

Demand data (what people search for and request) is still too small to publish responsibly. We will add it when the sample supports it.
