Which suits you
- ▪ On advertised pay alone, micro1 is ahead: $90/hr median against $75/hr, from 129 and 67 distinct rates respectively.
- ▪ On volume, Alignerr has more live roles right now (621 vs 365), which matters more than a headline rate if you need a queue that stays full.
- ▪ Rates here are what platforms advertise, not what you will earn: task availability, unpaid onboarding and review time all cut the effective hourly. How we measure.
- ▪ Pay is only half the decision. What the application, the AI interview and the offer are actually like on these platforms is covered in what happens after you apply, written from having done it.
