Payout Details
Onboarding Summary
Operated by Scale AI. Apply to a specific track (coding, language, math, domain expert) and pass its assessment. Highest task volume in the space, but availability swings.
Who It Suits
Skilled writers, coders, STEM graduates, and in-demand-language speakers wanting flexible income.
Pros
Largest platform by volume; wide language range; pays reliably; confirmed referral program.
Cons
The "empty queue" problem — approved contributors often find little available work; support is slow; recurring complaints about mid-project rate cuts.
Referral Terms
CONFIRMED — $25–$200 per successful referral depending on track (e.g. coding: $25 on onboarding + $50 after 20 paid hours; domain-expert tracks pay more). Self-referrals via second accounts are IP-flagged and can suspend both accounts; the referee must sign up through your link.
