A treat camera has a sticker price and a plan price, and both brands tie one to the other. Furbo's store offers its 360° Dog Camera at $184 alone or $54 with a yearly Furbo Nanny plan; Petcube advertises "FREE camera + Petcube Care starting from $5.99/mo" on its bundle. We have not used either camera. Below, the figures each store printed on November 7, 2026, and three years added up [calc].

How we compare: criteria, sources and dates
The 3-year line takes the camera at its with-plan price and the yearly plan: for the Furbo 360° Dog Camera, $54 + $83.92 the first year + $95.88 ($7.99 x 12) for each of the next two = $329.68; for the Bites 2 Lite, $99.99 + 3 x $59.88 = $279.63 [calc]. Without any plan, the cost stays at the camera price.
What differs besides price
- Treats. Furbo publishes a "100-piece capacity" on the 360° Dog Camera and "up to 10 small treats" on the Mini 360°, with treat sizes of 0.25 to 0.5 in (Mini) and 0.4 in (Cat camera). Petcube's Bites 2 Lite page says it tosses treats and lets you "control the amount and distance", with no capacity printed.
- Dog or cat. Furbo sells a dog and a cat version of the 360° camera at the same price; the cat one adds a feather wand toy. The Mini 360° and the Bites 2 Lite are sold for both.
- In the box. Furbo says the Mini 360° "does not come with a power adapter" and suggests a 5.2-volt USB phone adapter.
- Warranty. Furbo: a 1-year warranty, lifetime hardware warranty while a yearly or 2-year Nanny plan is active. Petcube Care: a 1-year warranty with Optimal, 2-year with Premium.
A camera without treats, cheaper: Petlibro's Scout ($79.99) needs a Video Cloud AI plan for recordings ($95.99 a year). All cameras: the comparison; your own plan and years: 3-year cost.
