How much do paid AI data-work programs pay?
7 of 45 tracked programs have a sourced pay figure. An advertised rate is what the operator's own page said on the date we read it; a reported rate is what an independent source said on the date shown. Neither is a guarantee, the status column is about applications rather than pay, and a program that publishes no rate is listed as exactly that.
