Low Cost
Cup Compute hardware is available at ultra low-cost e.g. from Aliexpress.
At 15 unit purchase volume (including tax and freight from China to Sydney):
| Price check date | Per unit price | AU$ Price Change |
|---|---|---|
| 2025-01-23 | AU$3.51 | 0% |
| 2025-06-17 | AU$4.21 | 20% |
As shown in above table there is a 20% increase in AU$ price within 6 months, but we still expect the fully delivered cost of Cup Compute to remain around the price of a cup of coffee in many countries.
Considering that Cup Compute can replace all contact tracing QR code and Bluetooth Apps used during pandemics, it is a worthwhile public health investment for all governments for a the price that substantially LESS than that of a single vaccine shot.
