Editor's note

Best for ML teams, engineers and researchers who want a self-hosted, flexible labeling pipeline; less suitable for non-technical users who want zero-setup labeling of a few samples.

FAQ

Is Label Studio free?

Yes, it is a free and open-source project you can deploy yourself; the company also offers a paid enterprise edition with extra management features.

What data types does it support?

Images, audio, text, time series, multi-domain data and video, covering most mainstream machine learning annotation needs.

Can a model assist with labeling?

Yes. You can connect an ML backend so model predictions act as pre-labels, and annotators only need to correct them.
