Yes. You can use Unitlab AI for free, no credit card required. The free plan is great for getting started and testing workflows. If you need more scale, advanced features, or custom setups, paid plans are available.

Can I change my plan after creating an account?

Yep. Start free and upgrade anytime. Most teams begin on the free plan and move to a paid plan once their datasets or team size grow.

What types of data can I annotate with Unitlab AI?

Unitlab AI supports multimodal data annotation, including image, video, audio, text, and DICOM. You can manage and annotate different data types in one platform using the same workflows.

Does Unitlab support AI-assisted and auto-annotation?

Yes. Unitlab AI includes built-in AI models to speed up annotation with auto-labeling, tracking, and segmentation. You can review, edit, and validate everything to keep quality high.

Can I use my own AI models with Unitlab AI?

Absolutely. Unitlab supports Bring Your Own Model (BYO) workflows. You can plug in your own models, combine them with Unitlab’s built-in models, and run multiple models in a single annotation workflow.

How does pricing for data labeling services work?

Pricing depends on the type of annotation, dataset size, number of classes, and complexity. Labeling services start from $0.02 per image, with custom pricing available for multimodal and large-scale projects.

Who has access to my data?

You do. With on-premises deployments, all data stays inside your own infrastructure and Unitlab has no access to it.
 If you use Unitlab’s hosted platform, your data is encrypted and isolated, and is not visible to Unitlab staff. Access is strictly controlled and limited to your team based on roles and permissions.

Does Unitlab support team collaboration and review workflows?

It does. Unitlab is built for teams, with support for multiple annotators, reviewers, approval steps, and full annotation history so nothing gets lost.

Can Unitlab handle large datasets and production workloads?

Yes. Unitlab is designed to scale, from small experiments to production-level data annotation. Teams use it to manage large datasets, complex workflows, and long-running annotation projects.
