When NOT to use label-studio
Constraint-first guidance from category fit and live maintenance signals - not marketing copy.
- If your project strictly requires on-premise database solutions without Docker support
- For tasks where real-time collaboration annotations are non-negotiable features
- When the need for minimal setup overrides advanced configuration options
