Clickworker takes beginners at microtask rates; Outlier pays expert-tier rates but gates entry with degree checks.
Read full comparison →AI training work pays people to improve machine-learning models: rating model responses, labeling images, writing and evaluating prompts, transcribing audio, and reviewing code. Demand has exploded, and so has the spread between the best and worst platforms — generalist microtasks pay a few dollars an hour while expert-domain projects (law, medicine, advanced coding) pay $15–40+/hr, sometimes on the same platform.
Every AI-training platform we list goes through the same verification discipline as every other category: pay models, qualification gates, identity requirements, payout methods, and country availability, checked against official contributor pages and terms. Where a platform hides its rates, we say so.
Before you apply, understand the two-tier structure. Generalist tiers accept most applicants and pay per task; expert tiers gate entry behind degree verification and domain tests but pay multiples more. The application-process row on each platform page tells you which you are walking into.
Expert tiers usually require at least an associate degree, with bachelor or higher for specialist domains. Generalist microtask tiers require no degree. Each platform page states the verified requirement.
Generalist work typically pays a few dollars per task; expert-domain projects pay $15–40+/hr. Across the 48 platforms we track, median expert-tier rates land in the $15–25/hr band.
Annotation labels raw data (images, text, audio); evaluation scores and ranks existing AI outputs. Evaluation work — especially prompt evaluation — is currently the most widely available expert-tier task.
Most expert-tier platforms verify government ID (often via third-party services like Persona or Onfido) plus tax information. Generalist platforms may only require email verification. Identity requirements are listed per platform.
