Price: 1 November 2026 Japanese maker page: Romi Lacatan body ¥98,780 including tax; required cloud membership ¥1,958/month or ¥19,580/year including tax. These are Japanese prices, not a UK delivered offer.
Lacatan body including Japanese tax; recurring cloud membership is extra and required. No UK landed price.
Regional scope: Japanese maker offer; UK ordering and support not established.
Software: No model-specific software entitlement, licence or update-support end date was established in the selected source.
Support: MIXI’s FAQ says a failed monthly payment moves Romi into the free simple mode, disabling conversation until a valid payment method is registered and the speaking service restarted. Budget for the service as well as the robot. Confirm Lacatan-specific plan terms, country eligibility and what remains usable without the paid service.
