YOLO development services and the licence question

We have no published YOLO build. We have shipped photo-evidence inspection apps, and we show where object detection would sit and what the Ultralytics licence means for a commercial product.

What we build

What we would take on with YOLO

Object detection on photos

Boxes drawn on equipment, anchors or damage in a field photo.

Segmentation and pose

The other tasks the Ultralytics package supports.

A licence decision first

AGPL-3.0 or the Enterprise License, settled before the build starts.

Rules around the result

A detection feeds validation rules and a certificate before anyone calls it a verdict.

Licence

AGPL-3.0 or the Enterprise License

The two Ultralytics licence routes
Open source

AGPL-3.0

  • An OSI-approved licence the repository describes as suited to students, researchers and enthusiasts
  • Carries open-source requirements
Commercial

Ultralytics Enterprise License

  • For commercial development and production use
  • Avoids the open-source requirements of AGPL-3.0

Source: Ultralytics repository on GitHub and Ultralytics documentation, checked 4 November 2026. Ask Ultralytics Licensing, or your lawyer, which route fits your product.

When YOLO is the right call

Pick YOLO when

  • You need to find objects in photos or video
  • Speed matters more than a perfect box
  • Your team can settle the licence route first

Look elsewhere when

  • You need a published YOLO build to inspect, which we do not have
  • You cannot accept AGPL-3.0 and will not buy the Enterprise License
  • A human can check every photo

FAQs

What buyers ask first

Which YOLO version is current?

The Ultralytics documentation names YOLO26 as the latest and YOLO11 as the previous generation. It says YOLO27 has no launch date yet.

Can we use YOLO in a commercial product?

The Ultralytics repository offers AGPL-3.0 or a commercial Enterprise License that avoids AGPL-3.0 open-source requirements. Settle the route with Ultralytics before you build.

Do you have a published YOLO build?

No. We say so on the first call and show the nearest work, which is photo-evidence capture on inspection apps.

Who owns the code and the cloud accounts?

You do, from the first commit. Repositories and cloud accounts stay in your name.
