      <description>The same model appears at 3.7× spread across US channels. The difference is what ships in the box and who carries the warranty, which means the right question is not &quot;what does it cost&quot; but &quot;what is included at that price&quot;.</description>

      <description>An OmniHand Pro at $19,999 is reported to equal 66.7% of an AGIBOT X2. A pair of Unitree Dex5-1P hands at $47,000 is reported at 217.6% of a G1 Basic. Those ratios explain why every humanoid maker is also a hand vendor, and why $999 grippers keep appearing in catalogs.</description>

      <title>What hand spec sheets leave out, and why it costs money</title>

      <description>Spec sheets mix measured values, structural ratings and laboratory claims in the same column. The omissions that matter most are the test condition, the configuration and the service life, and all three change the purchase decision.</description>

      <title>What a dexterous hand costs per actuated degree of freedom</title>

      <description>Five hands with a public price and a published DOF count land between $129 and $1,500 per actuated degree of freedom. The cheapest per DOF is the LEAP Hand at $129 and the most expensive is the Unitree Dex5-1 at $1,500, so per-DOF cost is a floor for the mechanism, not a proxy for what the hand can do.</description>
