What Label Your Data does
Label Your Data was founded in Kyiv (2019–2020 per public profiles) and reports 1,000+ trained annotators across 25 countries supporting 55 languages. It delivers managed annotation — image, video, LiDAR/3D, text and audio — with a platform and API access for clients.
Its published starting rates are the most transparent in the managed-service tier: $0.02 per bounding box, $0.015 per keypoint, $0.02 per NLP entity, and $6 per annotator hour for complex work, with no minimum orders and a free pilot.
Strengths
- Published per-unit pricing — almost unique among managed services
- No minimum order and a free pilot lower the cost of testing
- Multimodal coverage including LiDAR and sensor fusion
Considerations
- Published rates are starting points; complex work is quoted
- The company also publishes vendor-comparison content marketing — read its guides as vendor material (as with all vendor listicles)
- Smaller scale than the largest managed services
