Tools like Scale AI are great but often priced out of reach for small labs or startups.
Curious to hear what tools/strategies others use, or if people would consider alternatives with trained in-house teams and lower cost.
Thanks in advance!

That those prices reflect the level of resources necessary to build a viable business is a very reasonable working hypothesis for any company entering the space.
In other words, trying to compete on cost is a way to attract customers who expect to pay $0 and don't care if your company stays in business. Requiring payment is the simplest way to test if a business idea is viable. It is also the most brutal psychologically because asking for money usually ends in rejection.
Solving the problem of labeled data is a problem people will pay for. Solving the problem of people not having money is a problem you, and only you, pay for. Unless you are running a payday loan service, a pawn shop, or a bank...but that's another matter. Good luck.
