Find AI datasets+Order premium data annotation
Toloka began as a crowdsourcing platform and now leads with expert data and RL environments for AI labs. Dataset Finder works the other way round: start from what already exists, with full dataset cards, and order custom data from a managed team when there's a gap.
Facts about Toloka come from its own website and other public sources (see sources).
Toloka produces data for you, and so does Dataset Finder. The difference is the step before: Dataset Finder first shows you which existing datasets already fit, then you order premium annotation for the gaps.
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 | Toloka |
|---|---|---|
| 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 | Expert data, RL environments and evaluation for AI labs, plus the self-service Toloka platform |
| Where you start | Search what already exists: natural-language search across tens of thousands of curated datasets (metadata only; you download from the source) | Commission post-training data or RL environments, or post tasks to the self-service platform |
| Who does the labelling | Trained annotators and domain specialists managed by Innovatiana, not an open crowd, with a dedicated Data Labeling Manager | A global crowd in 100+ countries plus domain experts sourced through Mindrift (Toloka says) |
| 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 | Not published; the self-service platform suggests a price per project, with no minimums |
| Data types | Image, video, audio, text, multimodal and medical data; 3D point clouds; LLM fine-tuning, agent and coding data | Text and LLM, VLM and multimodal, code, agent trajectories and RL environments, egocentric video, robotics |
| Company | Built by Innovatiana, a data-labelling company with its own trained annotation teams | Amsterdam · founded 2014 · $72M round led by Bezos Expeditions in May 2025 |
| Built for | AI teams that want to check what already exists before paying for data, then order the gaps self-serve | AI labs that need RL environments, evaluation or post-training data, and developers who want flexible self-serve crowd tasks |
Toloka mixes a global crowd with expert networks. Dataset Finder's custom data is produced by trained annotators managed by Innovatiana, not an open crowd.
Toloka sells some of its own datasets, such as egocentric video and Arena data. Dataset Finder catalogues existing datasets with full cards and links to the source without hosting or reselling them.
Dataset Finder publishes subscription prices (€0, €9.90, €29.90 a month) and credit-based ordering. Toloka quotes per project.
Dataset Finder keeps projects, AI recipes and a training-data inventory with lineage next to search and ordering.
Talk to Enterprise Sales. Innovatiana scopes high-volume and long-running annotation programmes, with custom SLAs and NDAs, delivered by the same managed teams under a dedicated Data Labeling Manager.
Partly. It still runs a self-service crowd platform, but as of 26 October 2026 its site leads with expert data, RL environments and evaluation.
No. Custom data is produced by trained annotators and domain specialists managed by Innovatiana.
Toloka quotes per project and its self-service platform suggests a price. Dataset Finder publishes plans at €0, €9.90 and €29.90 a month, with custom data paid in credits.
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.
