Which suits you
- ▲ These two cannot be compared on pay: only Meridial (Invisible) publishes rates we can verify. Anyone ranking them against each other on a single number is comparing a measurement to a marketing claim.
- ▪ 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.
