Intellisane Annotation Platform vs Prodigy

Intellisane Annotation Platform prepares image, video, audio, text, and 3D point-cloud data for AI training. Its image tools cover boxes, polygons, ellipses, polylines, keypoints, and semantic segmentation; other workflows include transcription, video tracking, text annotation, and 3D LiDAR annotation. Teams can divide projects into batches, track progress, and export each batch independently. Workspaces assign Owner, Manager, Annotator, and Reviewer roles. Reviewers can approve or reject batches with comments or request corrections. Data can be uploaded or imported from AWS S3 and Google Cloud Storage, then exported in COCO JSON, YOLO v5/v8, Pascal VOC XML, or custom JSON, including direct pushes to those storage services. The cloud service has a free plan at free, covering up to 3 members, 2 projects, 1,000 annotations, and 200 assets, with no credit card required. The company states a 98%+ accuracy guarantee and support for 80+ languages. Intellisane is based in Dhaka, Bangladesh.
