Find AI datasets+Order premium data annotation
Kaggle is a data-science community: hundreds of thousands of uploaded datasets (Kaggle says), free notebooks with compute, and competitions. Dataset Finder focuses on AI training data: a curated catalogue of AI training datasets, searched by intent, with custom data on order when nothing fits.
Facts about Kaggle come from its own website and other public sources (see sources).
Kaggle helps you find open data. Dataset Finder does that with curated, analysed results, and it also produces the data that doesn't exist yet: premium data annotation by a managed team, ordered in the same app.
Describe your use case in plain language and get a ranked shortlist from tens of thousands of curated datasets.
When nothing fits, order custom annotation in the same app. Your data is labelled by trained annotators and domain specialists managed by Innovatiana, not an open crowd.
Both live in one workspace: what you found, what you ordered and which model it trained are recorded per project.
| Criterion | Dataset FinderFind + annotate | Kaggle |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | One place to find and order AI training data: dataset search over a curated catalogue, dataset cards with automated analysis, premium data annotation and labelling services, and a project workspace | Data-science community: dataset hosting, notebooks with free compute, competitions and courses |
| Where you start | Search what already exists: natural-language search across tens of thousands of curated datasets (metadata only; you download from the source) | Browse and download community-uploaded datasets, then explore them in free notebooks |
| How datasets are documented | A curated catalogue, reviewed and enriched by the team; each card adds automated analysis on 30+ criteria (quality, bias, licence check, PII, fine-tuning readiness) | Metadata supplied by uploaders; public notebooks show how others used the data |
| Data annotation services | Yes: premium custom annotation and data labelling by Innovatiana's trained annotators, ordered in the same app and paid in credits | No custom-annotation service |
| Pricing | Free €0 · Startup €9.90/mo · Pro €29.90/mo (or €99 / €299 a year). Custom data paid in credits, no set-up fee | Free |
| Data types | Image, video, audio, text, multimodal and medical data; 3D point clouds; LLM fine-tuning, agent and coding data | Mixed: tabular, image, text, audio and other files uploaded by users |
| Company | Built by Innovatiana, a data-labelling company with its own trained annotation teams | Google subsidiary · founded 2010 · acquired by Google in 2017 |
| Built for | AI teams that want to check what already exists before paying for data, then order the gaps self-serve | Data scientists and students exploring public datasets with free compute, or running competitions |
Kaggle relies on metadata supplied by uploaders. Dataset Finder says its datasets are reviewed and enriched by its team, and its cards add automated analysis covering licence checks, bias, PII and fine-tuning readiness.
Dataset Finder searches across sources, including datasets that live on Hugging Face, academic and government sites. Kaggle searches what's uploaded to Kaggle.
Kaggle gives you free notebooks with compute. Dataset Finder gives you a project workspace, AI recipes and a training-data inventory with lineage.
Dataset Finder lets you order custom annotated data in the same app. Both have a free option; Dataset Finder's paid plans cost €9.90 and €29.90 a month.
Shortlist and check a dataset in Dataset Finder, then explore it in a Kaggle notebook if it lives on Kaggle.
By their uploaders, through the dataset page and its metadata. Dataset Finder's cards add a licence check and automated analysis.
Its catalogue spans several sources. Each card links to wherever the dataset is hosted.
It has a Free plan with search and card essentials. Startup (€9.90 a month) unlocks full cards, more searches and more workspace projects; Pro (€29.90) adds the training-data inventory.
Yes. Alongside dataset search, Dataset Finder sells premium custom data annotation and labelling. Innovatiana's trained annotators and domain specialists, not an open crowd, produce and label the data, supervised by a dedicated Data Labeling Manager, with a calibration round, sampling reviews, inter-annotator agreement and gold-standard checks. It covers image, video, audio, text, multimodal and medical data, 3D point clouds, and LLM fine-tuning, agent and coding data. You order self-serve with credits, with no set-up fee, or through Enterprise Sales for larger projects.
No. Dataset Finder keeps each dataset's metadata and its own analysis, and sends you to the original source (Hugging Face, an academic page, a government portal) under that source's licence. The exception is custom data you order, which the team delivers to you directly.
