The honest brief

Encord

Labels DICOM, NIfTI, LiDAR and SAR alongside images/video — built for regulated medical and physical-world AI.

  • DICOM/NIfTI/point-cloud support
  • HIPAA/SOC 2 for regulated data
  • Annotate + curate + index in one
  • Model-assisted labeling (SAM, GPT-4o)
  • Enterprise pricing, no free tier
  • Heavier than lightweight labelers
  • Onboarding/setup overhead
  • Overkill for simple image tasks

Labelbox

Combines an enterprise labeling UI, model-assisted pre-labeling, and an on-demand expert-labeler network in one usage-metered platform.

  • Mature, full-featured labeling UI
  • Catalog curation + Model Foundry evals
  • Spans RLHF, robotics, and eval datasets
  • Usage-based LBU pricing hard to forecast
  • Enterprise focus, steeper for small teams
  • Proprietary platform, no self-host
