Why not a subscription?

LabelMe is an offline tool — your data never leaves your machine. A subscription model doesn't make sense for software that doesn't depend on cloud infrastructure. You pay once and own it.

What does "lifetime updates" mean?

All future updates and new features at no additional cost, forever.

What's the refund policy?

14-day money-back, no questions asked. Email support@labelme.io.

Can I buy for my organization or team?

Yes — academic, institutional, and reseller purchases supported. We handle purchase orders and invoices. Email support@labelme.io.

Commercial use and invoices?

All plans include commercial use rights. Paddle emails a receipt and invoice after purchase.

Can I get tax exemption?

EU: enter your VAT number at checkout. Other countries: email assist@paddle.com with your certificate. See Paddle docs.
