Casita
The unit that created the category. A 361 sq ft studio that folds to highway width, ships flat, and unfolds in about an hour. The $60k headline price is real; the $60k delivered price is not.
Baby Box
A small towable Boxabl (launched ~$19,999) with a wet bath and kitchenette, aimed at offices, studios and guest rooms rather than full dwellings. Several specs remain projected — treat folded dimensions, certification and warranty as unconfirmed.
Compact
A hinged cross-laminated-timber cabin that folds flat and rotates open on site. Warmer and better finished than most of the category, with the import friction that comes with a European build. Base pricing is quote-based and varies widely by fit-out.
Rustic
The two-storey Brette Haus. A genuine second floor and a folded transport footprint that still fits standard freight — the closest thing in the category to a house rather than a unit. Bedroom count and price vary by configuration.
TF-20
A self-unfolding structure that goes from truck to fully open building in minutes with no crane and no site crew. A demonstrated working prototype and extraordinary engineering, but the TF-20 is not yet orderable, shipping, or certified — you cannot buy one like a Casita.
Cube Two
A fully finished two-bedroom capsule home delivered furnished, with the strongest industrial design in the category. Not hinged or expandable in the mechanical sense — it simply arrives complete.
19 ft × 20 ft Expandable House
Around $29,990 today — the descendant of the sub-$20k unit that fuels every 'foldable homes are cheap' headline. Fine as a jobsite office, guest room or storefront, and rated to ~70 mph wind, but not a permitted dwelling in most of the United States.
Jupe
A flat-packed hospitality unit (~106 sq ft) that goes up in under two hours with no foundation. Built for hospitality and relief deployment rather than permitted housing, and honest about it. The 'Rest/Care/Plus' names are a defunct 2020 healthcare line, not the current single unit.
Ecocapsule
A boutique off-grid pod. The famous 2015–2018 original had a built-in wind turbine; the currently sold 'Ecocapsule Home' (€99,000) is solar-plus-battery only. Included for completeness: it is the most expensive square footage in the category and it is not a housing answer.
Flip Lite
A US-sold folding unit with an unusually transparent price ($44,600) and published wind, seismic and fire ratings — though no certification seal to back a permit.
40 ft Foldable Container House
A 40 ft dual-wing expandable with three bedrooms, sold direct and on Amazon by a US retail brand. Real US shipping and returns, but opaque final pricing and no certification.
M.A.Di Single
A folding CLT A-frame that erects in about six hours — a distinct engineering approach with documented earthquake resistance. Striking, but the North American purchase path is the weak link and pricing dates from 2017–2019 press.
20 ft Folding Container House
A folding/expandable container house buyable on Amazon US today, with concrete published metric dimensions (~390 sq ft deployed). Generic build, no certification, and import logistics to plan around.
