| Compare | Labelbox | Kognic |
|---|---|---|
| Verdict | Depends | Depends |
| Best for | ML teams labeling at scale | Autonomous driving programs |
| Who it's not for | Solo devs labeling a few hundred images | Small ML teams labeling plain images |
| Privacy | ISO 27001:2022 certified; no public breaches found in sources reviewed; one third-party index grades data safety 'D'.⁶ | ISO 27001 certified and TISAX Assessment Level 3 compliant.11 |
| Support quality | Support docs exist; no strong review evidence | Only vendor case studies, no user reviews |
| Public sentiment | G2 users praise the interface and feature depth, while pricing complaints and freelancer payment disputes recur across review sites.¹ | Independent product reviews are scarce; public feedback is mostly vendor case studies plus employee reviews on Glassdoor. |
| Biggest gotcha | LBU consumption billing means costs scale with usage; heavy labeling can spike invoices fast.⁴ | Custom contract pricing; expect negotiation and no self-serve option |
