# What is Roboflow Universe?

[Roboflow Universe](https://universe.roboflow.com/) is the world's largest community of people sharing computer vision datasets and models.

You can use Universe to find data for use in training a model. You can also use Universe to find a pre-trained model to use in a Workflow.

Over one million datasets have been shared on Universe, and 50,000 models have been trained and made available for use.

If you are on a free plan, your datasets and models will be available on Roboflow Universe. If you are on a paid plan, you can create private projects. Private projects are only accessible to your Workspace and are never public.
