Open roles, listed rates and fields
Sorted by open roles. Each bar is that platform's share of all 1,695 roles. The median is of the roles on that platform that list an hourly rate in USD. Open a row for the platform page.

How these numbers are made
- Each role counts once, at the midpoint of its listed hourly range. Only hourly rates in USD go in: 1,340 of the 1,695 roles. Left out: 27 paid per task, 325 with no rate, 3 figures not in USD or above $1,000.
- The band is the middle half of those rates. A narrow band means the platform posts the same range on most roles. "Thin" marks fewer than 20 priced roles, so the median says less.
- 275 roles list only a maximum ("up to"); that maximum is their figure, so platforms that post this way read high. Platforms that post this way: SME Careers (259 of 261) and Mindrift (all 9).
- Fields are assigned by this site from the job title.
- Apply links on the micro1, Terac and Outlier pages, and one Alignerr role, are referral links: the platform may pay us if you are hired. Your pay is unchanged.

Head to head
Two platforms on one page: type of work, listed pay, countries, referral terms and a verdict by type of person.
Four more, reviewed but not listed
This site does not read their job lists each morning, so these have a review page and no roles here. Each page says why.
