Our review
Pros
  • Segments and tracks cells in 2D and 3D, including multi-channel detection
  • Batch recipes and multi-well assay workflows support repeatable analysis
  • Apex can apply and export imported deep-learning models
  • Annotates images, video, audio, text, documents, DICOM, and NIfTI
  • Combines AI-assisted labeling with model prediction import and quality control
  • Connects to major cloud storage providers and offers API and SDK access
Cons
  • Subscription pricing requires a quote rather than published plan prices
  • Specialized biology recipes and expanded model tools depend on the tier
  • Its microscopy focus may not suit general-purpose image segmentation
  • No free plan; listed tiers require contacting sales for pricing
  • The broad feature set may be more than image-only labeling teams need
  • Enterprise deployment options and feature availability may vary by plan or add-on
