Yes — for a small annotation team creating segmentation masks, I’d usually recommend one of these:
Best overall for small teams: CVAT
- Strong support for polygon, brush, and mask-based segmentation
- Good collaboration features for a small team
- Can be self-hosted or used via hosted setups
- Supports review/QA workflows
- Free/open source, so cost is attractive
Why it’s a good fit:
If your team needs flexible segmentation annotation and you want something fairly powerful without paying enterprise prices, CVAT is often the best choice.
Easier-to-use commercial option: Labelbox
- Polished UI
- Good for team workflows and project management
- Segmentation support is solid
- Easier onboarding for non-technical annotators
- Paid, but less setup burden
Why choose it:
If convenience and workflow management matter more than self-hosting or open source, Labelbox is a strong option.
Also worth considering: Supervisely
- Very good segmentation tools
- Strong collaboration and project organization
- Nice quality-of-life features for annotation teams
- Typically better if you want a more integrated platform
Why choose it:
If you want a smooth annotation experience and don’t mind a commercial platform, Supervisely is often excellent.
Quick recommendation
- Small team + budget-conscious + segmentation-heavy work: CVAT
