Labelbox
A training-data platform for labeling, reviewing, and iterating on images, text, video, and documents. Public materials place the company in San Francisco.
Enterprise and product teams that need multimodal labeling, expert review, and a faster path from raw data to a model update.
Buyers who only need a one-off labeling crew, or a simple internal spreadsheet workflow.
Verdict
Hire Labelbox when the job is to produce reviewed training signal, not just to collect labels. The product covers image, text, video, and document annotation, model-assisted labeling, and a review loop so domain experts can correct the work before it trains the next model.

Review Excerpts
Below are excerpts from public reviews. Our team scoured public reviews, forums, and chat rooms to get a balanced view of customers' experience with this company. Paid reviews and pay-for-play sites such as Clutch were excluded.
“Before Labelbox, we could train a model pretty quickly and evaluate against validation test sets, but getting data processed and reviewed took forever. Having a strong collaborative expert feedback service helped us get to a weekly iteration cycle.”
“Labelbox is a gamechanger because of the data quality we can now acquire for our models. It’s hard to imagine a life now without Labelbox.”
