Reachy Mini / Buying guide
Reachy Mini Lite vs Wireless: what is actually different?
The names suggest two different robots. For a buyer, the useful starting point is simpler: compare the current variants and price gap, then check whether the project you want to run depends on a particular hardware configuration.

Key details
Start with the price gap, not the product name
The two variants sit in the same Reachy Mini ecosystem. Treat the extra spend as a configuration decision rather than assuming the more expensive model is automatically the better choice.
If your intended project is already represented in the app ecosystem, check its dependencies first. That is more useful than buying hardware headroom you may never use.
The SDK is a shared part of the decision
The canonical record currently tracks one stable Reachy Mini SDK release rather than separate Lite and Wireless SDK branches. That matters because many software questions are ecosystem questions, not variant questions.
Before purchasing, verify the exact hardware dependency of the apps or integrations you care about. A shared SDK does not prove every app works identically on every configuration.
- Choose a project or app before choosing the variant.
- Check current seller availability as well as list price.
- Re-check this page if the SDK or store configuration changes.
