Our review
Pros	Supports many annotation types, including masks, skeletons, keypoints, and polygons AI-assisted labeling, model-in-the-loop workflows, and external model integration Video and DICOM interpolation plus multi-stage review and collaboration	Model-assisted pre-labeling supports faster image annotation workflows. Quality controls include benchmarks, consensus, review, and monitoring. Connects with AWS S3, Google Cloud Storage, Azure Blob Storage, BigQuery, and Databricks.
Cons	Paid pricing uses custom platform fees, user licenses, and volume-based charges Its broad workflow may be more than teams needing simple image labeling The platform is web-based and API-accessible rather than open source	The verified image scope is narrower than some broader annotation platforms. Category specifications list JPEG as the supported image format. Paid plans span Starter, Standard, and Enterprise, requiring tier selection.
