Software Developer Paper & Forest Products Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Label Live, Simple and Powerful" February 18, 2026 5.0 has been easy to use since we first started with it 3 years ago, and it's only improved with every update. The support is top-notch, and they've even added some of our suggestions to the programs mere days later! Pros is incredibly simple to integrate with all of our production systems. We're able to print our inventory labels seconds after scanning new products through the powerful HTTP connections. Cons There are a few minor glitches that occasionally interrupt the printing process, like design elements shifting slightly, but they can be fixed in a few seconds. Alternatives considered [PrintNode Connector PowerTool](https://www.capterra.com/p/10027628/PrintNode-Connector-PowerTool/) Reason for choosing Label LIVE Ease of use, licensing system, price, seemed more capable Review Source NW Nick W. owner operator Farming Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "The last label software you ever will buy" April 22, 2026 5.0 This software can do it all. From thermal labels to sheet printed labels. The software is very intuitive, straight forward and simple to use. There are tons of powerful features including some very cool ways to integrate spreadsheets. Everything updates live on the screen as you make changes. With the ability to script variable there really is no limit to getting exactly what you want on a label. It integrated really nicely with my 2 thermal printers, with a very short learning curve to get them printing flawlessly. I would highly recommend this software to others. Pros The developer is active and fixes bugs and addresses feature request really fast. For a one time forever licenses fee you cant compare the quality of software you are getting. Cons There really is no full detailed user manual. There is some guides online that get you pointed in the right direction, but lots of features found in the software you just have to play with to see what they do.

You've taken an industry that previously had half baked products and made it a joy to work with. Support has been extremely responsive and helpful. Pros is leading the industry in label software. It isn't even close. I've previously worked with Dymo and Zebra products and Label Live is on a whole other level. Their label design process is so simple and clean. The extensive barcode support is phenomenal. The amount of integration options allows for nearly every circumstance. Cons Absolutely nothing. They've thought through this product extremely well. I am completely satisfied. It is a great product. Review Source EM Eric M.

September 27, 2025 5.0 Very impressed- ability to trigger remotely/HTTP + the label logic had me sold instantly. 5/5 product, brand, and user experience. Pros Incredibly powerful and well thought out software, allows for simple to complex usage while maintaining the user experience.

Director Of Operations Plastics Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Amazing, easy to use label making software for Windows AND MAC" February 14, 2025 5.0 Excellent, easy to use and someone clearly put some thought into the design and ease of use for the average skilled user. Pros The ease of use is phenomenal. does not over complicate the label making process. We have around 550 SKUS (Not a lot in the big picture) However, the ability to upload all of our items and then create the way we want the label to look - was very easy - I imagine this could be done with many more SKUS. We also really enjoyed how easy it was to design the label. Cons Nothing so far. We have had no issues with the software. Switched from [BarTender](https://www.capterra.com/p/80556/BarTender/) Wanted something initially that would work on both PC and MAC, but even if all we used was PC I would still use this now.

It's easy to use and has never failed me. I use it daily and will continue to do so. Pros is hands down one of the best tools I’ve ever used for my business. Unreal value for money! The setup is incredibly quick and straightforward. I was up and running within minutes. The interface is clean, intuitive, and very easy to use, making it perfect for anyone regardless of technical experience. The quality of the labels is outstanding, and the software gives me full confidence in my work every time. It’s versatile enough to suit any person or business, whether you’re printing a few labels at home or running a larger operation. If you’re looking for a simple, powerful, and effective labeling solution, Label LIVE is the one. Cons I honestly cannot think of any. I have only positive things to say. It is so easy to use and I have not had any issues in the past Review Source GM Gabriela M. Entrepreneur Apparel & Fashion Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "exceptional customer service" April 9, 2026 5.0 I was truly amazed by the print quality I achieved with this program, thanks to its versatile tools. I tried other programs, but none delivered the same level of quality, which is why I decided to buy it, and I wholeheartedly recommend it. Request your free trial and see for yourself. Besides the added value of Caylan's excellent customer service, few business owners still dedicate the necessary time to their companies, and that undoubtedly makes all the difference. Pros many functions, easy to use, compatible with many printers, compatible with Mac, value for money And the best part is the customer service. Cons So far I can't say I have a con. Although, thinking about it, the downside I could mention is that they're spoiling me with good customer service hahaha Review Source JC Jonathan C. Purchasing Manager Wholesale Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Met and exceeded expectations - value and performance" October 15, 2025 5.0 I was searching for an easy to use and easy to implement labeling program for my receiving department. I downloaded the trial version and designed my first label in minutes. Trained the receiving staff and followed up with a purchase of the software. I would highly recommend this software. Pros Ease of use, ability to pull data from Excel, received quick support on a question even though I only had the trial download. Cons Created a label on one computer (still in trial period), saved it on a shared network location but when I open it on the licensed computer the label no longer fit the defined label size. Review Source CG Chris G. Engineer Arts and Crafts Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The only label software you should consider (especially on Mac)" December 16, 2025 5.0 Pros makes it very easy to layout a label design and map data to the labels. Flexible barcoding support, fine-tuning alignment, and custom label sizes all make this a standout product. Cons I have a niche use case where I want to print sequential data on a single label, but it doesn't seem to support this. Review Source BS Bas S. Owner Consumer Goods Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Perfect 'one stop solution' for multiple label needs" December 9, 2022 5.0 a bliss, compared to other tools Pros Database integration;Commandline, HTTP post, MQTT creation of labels offers integration with other toolsOut of the box support for most printers, but specifically Dymo labelwriters Cons Nothing to dislike; It just works.One minor (business choice) con is that for a oneman shop, i need the full business license, for printing barcodes. But it didnt stop me.

Owner Machinery Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great piece of organization kit" June 28, 2024 5.0 As I organize my workshop this software has been invaluable in labeling, organizing, and even with re-ordering supplies tha ks to the qr codes. Pros The labeling software is very flexible and allows you to go from spreadsheet to list of labels very easily. Cons I wish the catalogs of images would allow for dithering and rotations settings per image.

Pros Ease of use, actual customer support response from a real person, and the ability to import my data and link it to my design in minutes. Cons Only con is that I didn't find it sooner.

Great service and great program. Pros I can use it for various codes that fit my specific label size. Cons Nothing yet! So far it's great! I am still experimenting but so far I have been able to figure everything out. Review Source EL Ed L. Home Research Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great software. Amazing customer service." September 13, 2024 5.0 Software is great which is important, but customer service is also fantastic. Fast and reasonable. Hard to find these days. Pros Very versatile software and simple to use yet powerful in features. Cons Nothing that I can identify just yet! Everything has been great. Review Source aW alisha W. Purchasing/Inventory Apparel & Fashion Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Excellent Product, Customer Service and Very User Friendly!" June 30, 2022 5.0 We were really stressed out when our label software we had for over a decade no longer worked and we were printing our box labels in Word which was a nightmare with 200+ box shipments, printing one by one. But once we realized we could not generate UPCA retail price tickets we had to act fast. After a few trials with other label software companies I stick with due to the functionality, ease of use and service. Pros After being tasked with replacing our outdated label maker software I came across several times and they offer a free trial so no risk. I tried it for 13 days and loved it, then paid the one-time fee. It is SO easy to use, anyone can sit down and understand the software. It has all the functions we need to create barcode labels, rack labels, box labels and so much more. I love the importing function is has for importing our excel files; I can just click and print all styles with their UPCs on the entire spreadsheet. I really appreciated that when I had questions I could shoot an email over to the company and receive an almost immediate reply which was really helpful if I ran into any issues or needed a work around. Once I did get a reply it was straight to the point and straight to a solution. This is a HUGE plus for our company as we strive to provide the same level of service to our own customers. Cons I saw one area of improvement which is the print function, when you print 20 labels or any qty over 1 it prints each label one by one, instead of consecutively. Now this could be user-error like I need to find some setting to get it to print consecutively or its my label printers, not sure just yet. Review Source DC Diana C. President Cosmetics Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Hands down most useful and easy to use labelling software I have used!" June 27, 2023 5.0 Pros The importing and variable labelling is intuitive and a lifesaver. Customizing my own label sizes is easy and \[sensitive content hidden\] has been so fast and helpful with any tweaks I needed to do. I love that it handles my barcodes and general labelling needs for any kind of label I need from big to small. Cons I would love to see pre populated Uline labels added to the system such as the Avery labels. Most of us using warehouse order from Uline so it would be handy. Reason for choosing Label LIVE Ease of use was a big one and having real person and fast support. Review Source DE David E. CTO Food & Beverages Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Best Label Software" July 8, 2024 5.0 I wish every software and developer was like Label.Live. Pros The user interface for designing a label is intuitive and works extremely well. The integration, while technical, is a live-saver. We were able to integrate Label.live into our exciting custom software. We use thermal, roll label printers and the built-in drivers enabled us to print an exact quantity without user input. Cons I had one problem, but emailed the developer and I received an updated (beta) version of the software in less than 24 hrs. Review Source JM Jeremy M. Owner Retail Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Horticultural tag simplicity " October 25, 2023 5.0 Pros The ability to design the tag easily was so helpful for someone without any graphic design background. Cons Just one small glitch regarding a variable window would not refresh as being empty. So you’d manually have to delete the data so it wouldn’t inherently print on the wrong tag. Review Source MT Madara T. Office administrator Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Success story that answered our prayers" July 11, 2024 5.0 Your software is very understandable and easy to use. Before we were using another one for NFC/RFID card printing jobs, and it was quiet difficult to use. Also our card printer didnt go hand in hand with it which resulted in regular problems with printer, which seemed impossible to resolve, and bad quality of print. Your software resolved most of our printer/card printing problems. I even find myself enjoying the quality when the card comes out of printer. Before I was physically cringing every time when a card printing request came in. So thank you very much for your work and wish you success in future! Review Source ZM Zurain M. VP Retail Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "The best label software especially for MAC" November 29, 2022 5.0 My overall experience has been good. I am happy that the customer service is very friendly and responsibe incase I run into any problems I know I can ask for help. Pros This software is super easy to use. I love the simple interface. It is very easy to print labels, barcodes, write text and format text. I had a few questions and the customer service is super fast to respond and responds within a few hours. Cons At first I was not willing to accept change from my previous software but after using it for a few days I realized this works much better! Review Source KB Kathryn B. Inventory Assistant Machinery Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great Customer Service" April 13, 2021 4.0 I was having trouble with getting the label, when printed, to fit on the sheets we have in stock (our brand was not listed on the available options). I emailed the customer support and was able to quickly get in touch with \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\]. He did an incredible job of helping me fine tone some numbers in order to get the dimensions correct. The fact he figured it out by just seeing a picture, in no time at all, was awesome. Just his support and assistance made going with this company a no-brainer! Pros Software is very easy to use and gives you options to adjust multiple facets of each label. Also a big bonus of being able to save sheets of labels - printing 120 at a time is typical in our office. Cons Having to save the labels on our computer hard-drive versus the label software itself, takes a bit of time in terms of opening a saved label sheet to print. But if that's the biggest complaint (which isn't a huge deal anyway), that's great! Review Source TF Tom F. Business Owner Oil & Energy Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Truly awesome software package" December 27, 2021 5.0 Overall - the experience has been positive / excellent Pros Everything ......... I personally critique most things to the nth degree, this product is exceptionally well designed and with a responsive technical support team Cons Nothing, so far I have not found any flaws in this product Reason for choosing Label LIVE Successful free trial period.
