Feature Comparison
How Avala works with Rerun
Rerun is an open-source SDK for logging and visualizing multimodal robotics data. Avala is the independent infrastructure that takes that data through reconstruction, labeling, verification, and versioned release—on your data, with training and deployment under your control.

Feature Comparison
| Feature | Avala | Rerun |
|---|---|---|
| Platform Type | Independent infrastructure connecting sensor ingest, visualization, labeling, QC, dataset releases, training handoff, and feedback workflows | Open-source multimodal data visualization SDK |
| Data Types Supported | Sensor-native workflows for synchronized camera, LiDAR, radar, video, and supporting telemetry | Broad visualization support — 2D, 3D, time-series, and multi-modal logging |
| Annotation Capabilities | Human and AI labeling across 2D, 3D, and temporal sensor workflows with configurable quality control | Programmatic annotation context for visualization (labels, colors, keypoints) — not a data labeling tool |
| Workforce / Human-in-the-Loop | Optional managed operations connected to the same dataset records and quality workflows | N/A — Rerun is a developer SDK, not a data labeling platform |
| Security & Compliance | Data boundaries, access controls, retention, and deployment requirements scoped with each program | Self-hosted (open-source) — full control over data |
| Deployment Options | Avala Cloud today; BYOS keeps source data in your bucket and region. Dedicated deployments on request. | Local/self-hosted open-source SDK |
| Physical AI Specialization | Purpose-built for the Physical AI data-to-model loop, from sensor ingest through drift and re-labeling | Open-source SDK for logging and visualizing multimodal robotics data; supervised annotation and managed quality operations are not its focus |
| Pricing Model | Scoped to data, workflow, infrastructure, and optional operations requirements | Open-source core, commercial plans for team features |
Why teams choose Avala
Key Differentiators
Where Rerun ends and Avala begins
Rerun is a development-time SDK for logging and visualizing multimodal data with programmatic annotation overlays. Avala is where that data goes next — production annotation pipelines, managed workforce labeling, and the versioned handoff to your training.
Annotation + workforce built in
Rerun helps you see your data. Avala helps you label it at scale with 15,000+ registered coworkers, native 4D annotation tooling, and quality assurance workflows designed for Physical AI ground truth.
Enterprise-grade data operations
Rerun focuses on the developer experience. Avala provides enterprise data ops — versioned datasets, compliance workflows, BYOS that keeps source data in your bucket and region, and end-to-end lineage from raw sensor data to the training handoff.

Why teams choose Avala
Teams choose Avala when they need to move from development-time visualization to independent infrastructure. Rerun lets you explore data during development; Avala operationalizes that data into annotated, curated, production-ready datasets for Physical AI.
