01Scale AI alternative

A Scale AI alternative for capture Scale does not stock

Scale AI is the default for large labeling programs. Harbor is the alternative when the model needs footage and speech from people doing real work, with a licence and a consent record.

Where Harbor loses

• Scale is the larger managed labeling operation, with more existing enterprise contracts.
• Harbor does not match Scale on headcount for document or RLHF labeling at that scale.

Where Harbor is the alternative

• First-person work video, with both hands and the task in frame.
• Off-the-shelf physical datasets, sold non-exclusively, with the volume written on the spec.
• Contributors are paid for accepted capture. The company buying the data is not recruiting a labeling workforce.
