Label LIVE compared to Loftware's NiceLabel
Before 2021, NiceLabel existed as a standalone company. Led by private equity, NiceLabel merged into the Loftware "family" of products, with a focus on cloud and "enterprise" art management. Which is great... if you need those kinds of features.
The least expensive NiceLabel options have limited ability to design labels, cannot be used with multiple users, and do not include automatic updates.
