Researched by Riley Hart · updated Oct 26, 2026

We started tracking this price on Oct 26, 2026 and have not found a past sale price yet, so we cannot say if $299 is a good deal. Black Friday is Nov 27, 2026, 31 days away, when robots in this category usually get their biggest cuts. Get a price drop alert.
Loona Deskmate is less a pet and more a moving desk assistant that also works as a big USB charger. It suits iPhone owners who want a friendly face on their desk that can handle email and calendar chores. Skip it if you use Android or want a robot that moves around the home.
Best for: iPhone users who want an AI desk assistant. Skip if: you use Android or want a roaming pet.
