What affects your pricing?

Understanding the factors that influence annotation costs helps you plan and optimize your budget

Volume

Higher volumes unlock better per-unit pricing. We offer volume discounts starting at 5,000 annotations, with maximum savings at 100,000+.

Complexity

Simple bounding boxes cost less than polygon segmentation or 3D cuboids. Dense object scenes and fine-grained annotations increase complexity.

Turnaround Time

Standard delivery (5-7 days) is most cost-effective. Expedited (2-4 days) adds 30%, while rush delivery (24-48 hours) adds 60%.

Quality Requirements

Standard quality (98% accuracy) is included. Premium (99%) and Ultra (99.5% with multi-stage validation) increase costs by 15-30%.

Domain Expertise

Specialized domains like medical imaging or autonomous vehicles require expert annotators, which may increase pricing by 20-40%.

Custom Requirements

Custom taxonomies, specific export formats, API integration, and white-label solutions may affect pricing based on implementation complexity.

Pricing FAQs

Common questions about our pricing and billing

Yes! Our Starter tier is perfect for pay-as-you-go usage. You only pay for what you use, with no monthly minimums. Volume discounts apply automatically as your usage increases.

 

No setup fees for standard projects. You pay only for the annotations you order. Custom integrations, specialized tooling, or on-premise deployments may have additional one-time setup costs, which we’ll discuss upfront.

 

Starter tier: Pay upfront via credit card. Professional tier: Net 15 payment terms available. Enterprise tier: Custom payment terms including Net 30, Net 60, and annual contracts with volume commitments.

 

Absolutely. Volume discounts start at 5,000 annotations (10% off) and scale up to 25% off for 100,000+ annotations. Enterprise customers with long-term commitments can receive even larger discounts.

 

We guarantee our accuracy SLAs. If annotations don’t meet the agreed quality standards, we’ll rework them at no additional cost. We also offer a satisfaction guarantee – if you’re not happy with the first batch, we’ll revise or refund.
