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

T-Rex Label

Visual-prompt zero-shot detection auto-labels every matching object across a dataset from one example box—no per-class training like traditional annotators.

  • No per-class training needed
  • Handles dense and occluded scenes
  • Varied-lighting robustness
  • COCO and YOLO export
  • Integrates with Roboflow, Labelbox
  • Browser-only, no offline mode
  • Pricing not clearly published
  • Detection-focused (boxes and masks)
