Rekognition Custom Labels maps to Azure Custom Vision, but Custom Vision is retiring (supported until September 25, 2028). Microsoft recommends Azure ML AutoML for images, Foundry models, or Content Understanding for new work.
- Custom Labels runs as a managed model you start and stop (billed per inference hour).
- Azure ML AutoML for images gives you full control (classification, detection, segmentation) but requires you to deploy and manage an endpoint.
