Azure AI Custom Vision
Azure AI Custom Vision handles image classification and object detection by training models on your specific datasets. It iterates on accuracy as you add more labeled examples, making it suitable for tasks like identifying product defects or categorizing inventory photos without building a model from scratch.
This fits teams already operating in the Azure ecosystem who need quick image recognition capabilities. The main friction point is the lack of a free tier; since it operates on a strict pay-as-you-go model, you pay for every training iteration and prediction from day one, which can add up quickly during experimental phases.
