There is no official Neuralink consumer list price.

Neuralink's N1 implant is currently available only through clinical research. The company has not published a retail sticker price for the device or surgery, and the implant is not sold commercially to the public.

Investigational device - not for sale

According to Neuralink's PRIME Study Brochure, the devices used in the PRIME study are investigational and are not for sale. Access today is through clinical trials and the patient registry, not a commercial purchase.

What study compensation covers

The same brochure explains that Neuralink may cover study-related costs such as travel for participants. That support is reimbursement for study participation expenses - not a salary or paycheck for joining a trial. Joining the patient registry itself is not a paid role.

Because the implant is not sold commercially, the practical path for eligible people is clinical trial participation rather than buying a consumer device.

How many people have received Neuralink?

Two numbers are useful to keep distinct:

• Neuralink: In a January 28, 2026 update, Neuralink said there were 21 Neuralnauts (people who have received the implant).
• Neura Pod tracking: As of June 2026, Neura Pod has tracked 27+ publicly identified patient stories. Public story count can differ from Neuralink's official Neuralnaut count because not every participant is publicly named, and independent trackers may count stories differently.

Neuralink screens applicants against study criteria. There is no public FDA commercial approval date for consumer sales, and Neura Pod does not invent one.
