# Starship: Price, Availability & Status (2026)

Starship runs a captive operator-supervised Level 4 sidewalk-delivery fleet (10M+ deliveries, 8 countries). B2B service, no consumer price. The verified status.

## Price

_No verified price on record._

There is no consumer price. Starship runs a captive B2B delivery service: it operates its own fleet and sells delivery, not robots, so DEPLOY records zero price points rather than a consumer figure.

## Availability

_Status: internal-only_

Starship is a delivery service, not a robot you buy. It operates its own fleet across 8 countries (300-plus service areas, 65-plus US university campuses), integrating with Uber Eats, Just Eat, Bolt, Foodora, Grubhub, and Wolt plus grocers and retailers. It does not sell robots to third parties.

## Status

Starship Technologies (founded 2014 by Skype co-founders Ahti Heinla and Janus Friis) makes the Starship Bot, a six-wheeled insulated-cargo autonomous sidewalk delivery robot and the captive-service archetype of the sidewalk-delivery cohort. It is operator-supervised Level 4: it runs autonomously on sidewalks with remote human oversight and takeover available, not driverless. Operational scale (April 2026, Starship-direct) is the strongest in the cohort: more than 10 million cumulative autonomous deliveries, 3,000-plus robots, and 22 million-plus autonomous kilometers.
