Why license Ultralytics models with Roboflow?

Safety

Start using models without any risk of violating the AGPL-3.0 license. AGPL-3.0 is a risk for businesses because all software and models using AGPL-3.0 components must be open-source. Custom trained versions of models are still AGPL-3.0.

Speed

Commercial use available with free and paid plans. No talking to sales, fully transparent pricing. Work on private commercial projects immediately when deploying with Roboflow.

Durability

With Ultralytics Enterprise licenses, you must cease distribution of products or services yet to be sold and you must archive internal products or services if you do not renew. Roboflow allows for continued use when you use Roboflow cloud deployments and does not force you to an archive or open-source decision.

Platform

Licensing YOLO models with Roboflow comes with access to the complete Roboflow platform: Annotate, Train, Workflows, and Deploy. Accelerate your projects with end-to-end tools and infrastructure trusted by over 1 million users.
