FAQ

What happens after I purchase?

You get the LabelMe.io account and download link immediately after purchase. Here's the process:

  • You complete the checkout (either starter or pro).
  • You get an email with a link to reset your password for your new account (or skip if you already have one).
  • Sign in to access your dashboard.
  • Access everything (the app, toolkit, & guides) from your dashboard.

If you have any trouble accessing your account, email us.

What's the difference between Starter and Pro?

The Starter plan includes the core annotation app and a starter guide, which is perfect for individuals or small projects.

The Pro plan includes everything in Starter plus our dataset creation toolkit, advanced guides, and priority email support, making it ideal for professionals and teams who need comprehensive tools and assistance.

What does "lifetime updates" mean?

Lifetime updates mean that after your one-time purchase, you will receive all future updates and new features of LabelMe at no additional cost.

This includes improvements to the annotation app, new tools in the toolkit, and any new guides we release. You pay once and benefit from ongoing enhancements forever.

What's the refund policy?

Our refund policy is simple: If you're not satisfied with LabelMe for any reason, just email us at support@labelme.io within 14 days of your purchase, and we'll issue a full refund, no questions asked.

Do you offer team or volume licenses?

Not yet as a self-serve plan, but we're working on it. In the meantime, email support@labelme.io with your team size and use case, and we'll sort you out with a custom arrangement.

Can I purchase LabelMe for my organization, university, or research institution?

Yes. We support academic and institutional purchases, including purchase orders and invoices. Email support@labelme.io with your institution name, number of seats, and any procurement requirements. We typically respond within 1 business day.

I'm a consultant or integrator — can I resell LabelMe to my clients?

Yes, we work with resellers and value-added resellers (VARs). If you're building annotation workflows or delivering solutions for clients, reach out at support@labelme.io with a brief description of your business.

Can I use LabelMe in a commercial project? Can I get an invoice?

Yes. All plans include commercial use rights. Paddle (our payment processor) automatically emails you a receipt and invoice after purchase. If you need a purchase order workflow or have other procurement requirements, email support@labelme.io and we'll handle it.

Can I get tax exemption?

If you're in countries Paddle.com supports (like EU countries), you can just fill in your VAT number during checkout to get a tax exemption.

If you're in the other countries (like the US), you need to email assist@paddle.com with your tax exemption certificate. Please refer to Paddle.com official documentation for the latest information.
