What is Encord?

Multimodal annotation, data curation and model evaluation.

Who is Encord best for?

Encord is best for robotics and autonomous vehicle teams that label, curate and evaluate video, LiDAR and sensor data.

  • Robotics and autonomous vehicle teams

    It labels video, LiDAR, radar, audio and fused sensor data in one workflow, with 3D scene views for perception work.

  • Finding gaps in training data

    Embedding search and model-in-the-loop curation help surface rare edge cases and missing slices before the next training run.

  • Evaluating models in production

    It runs RLHF, rubric-based scoring and pairwise comparisons, then routes the failures back into training data.

  • Teams short on annotators

    Encord also supplies vetted domain experts and managed data collection that plug straight into the platform.

How much does Encord cost?

Encord does not publish prices: its Starter, Team and Enterprise plans start from a work-email sign-up or a sales call, and the maker states no free plan or trial.

Encord names three plans, Starter, Team and Enterprise, without prices: Starter and Team ask for a work email to get started, and Enterprise goes through sales. The plans differ in data volume (Index curation up to 500k on Starter, 100m on Team and 1bn+ on Enterprise), and extra data types such as DICOM, LiDAR and LLM evaluations, plus VPC and on-prem deployment, are add-ons. Plans and current prices are on encord.com.
