At Roboflow, our mission has always been to democratize computer vision. We believe that giving developers the tools to make the world programmable will solve some of the world’s hardest problems.
Today, we are proud to share a significant milestone in that journey: After being named the #1 Image Recognition on G2 in 2025, Roboflow is the #9 AI Product on the G2 2026 Best Software Awards list.
Being ranked alongside OpenAI, ElevenLabs, Canva, and Notion is a testament to the success of the 1,000,000+ developers who are using Roboflow to bring vision AI into the mainstream.
The AI landscape is more crowded than at any point in history with 18,312 total products being evaluated by G2. Vision entering the top 10 is a signal that AI’s next major wave of understanding and interacting with the physical world has arrived.
Visual AI adoption is growing rapidly
For years, vision AI was sidelined as a future technology reserved for big tech research labs with massive budgets. But that era has officially ended. This shift is critical because, while most AI currently lives in a browser tab, the most valuable AI of the next decade will live in the physical world. As agentic AI and robotics start to take center stage, vision becomes the primary sensory input for every autonomous system.
In our 2026 Vision AI Trends report, we analyzed 200,000 real-world projects to show how enterprises are successfully deploying AI to production across 10 global industries. Roboflow’s climb into the Top 10 of G2’s rankings is another direct reflection of the growing adoption and the real-world value users are finding in vision AI.
With over a million vision projects and 250,000 models build with Roboflow, it’s clear that the tools are ready for anyone to deploy models that track inventory or identify defects in real time. When you build with Roboflow, you are building on a platform trusted by the world's largest logistics companies such as BNSF, category leading manufacturers like USG, autonomous robotics companies like Peer Robotics, and AI-native healthcare companies like Wellth.
A Community-Driven Win
G2 rankings are unique because they aren't decided by a panel of judges; they are determined by the people actually using the software to build the future.
Roboflow’s ranking is thanks to the researchers, the hobbyists, and the enterprise engineers who have been contributing to the growth of the vision community. We are honored to be your partner in building the foundational vision layer of the AI stack.
