Why are companies choosing Roboflow?

Roboflow is enterprise vision AI infrastructure, used by more than half of the Fortune 100, with SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA, and air-gapped deployment. Start free and keep going: the same plan that labels your first dataset can run the model on your own hardware.

  • Free self-hosted inference

    Run your models on a Jetson, a GPU server, or a Raspberry Pi on the Free plan.

  • Your weights from day one

    Download the weights of the models you train on any plan, including Free.

  • Private from the start

    Your workspace and models stay private to your team on every plan.

  • Roboflow Annotate labeling cans with AI box prompting

    Fast data labeling

    Label data quickly with a suite of AI-assisted annotation tools to augment human labeling or fully automate your data labeling pipeline.

  • Workflow blocks for notifications and integrations

    Build vision AI applications with ease

    Use a low-code open source platform to simplify building and deploying vision AI applications.

  • A team reviewing a detected pallet in a warehouse aisle

    Machine learning expertise, always

    Work with account-dedicated AI specialists and Field Engineers to accelerate development and optimize performance.

  • Photos from datasets across industries

    Datasets and models for every industry

    Access thousands of datasets and pre-trained models to kickstart your computer vision projects.

  • Logos of OpenAI, Microsoft, Meta, Anthropic, Google and Qwen

    Flexible model licensing

Compare Roboflow and Viso

Viso offers Viso Now for building vision agents from prompts and Viso Suite for enterprise deployments. Its published plans place edge deployment in Enterprise, with a platform fee based on company size. Roboflow includes self-hosted inference on the free plan, so running a model on your own hardware can be your starting point.

Roboflow’s free plan includes private projects, unlimited seats, 10 monthly credits, and downloads for supported model weights. Train a model such as RF-DETR on your images, build its application logic in Workflows, and run it on a compatible Jetson or server. Local model and Workflow execution through Roboflow Inference does not consume Roboflow credits.

Roboflow Agent helps build that application, from selecting models to connecting predictions with actions. Auto Label (opens in a new tab) drafts training annotations from a text prompt for review. Engineers can also manage datasets, launch training, and test predictions through MCP or the ChatGPT plugin (opens in a new tab).

For larger rollouts, Enterprise options add fleet management, industrial camera and PLC integrations, implementation services, and 24/7 support with a support SLA. Your team can first prove the application on its own images and hardware, then add the infrastructure and support its deployment requires.
