Recording platforms compared: eight checks

Short answer

Want to get paid to train AI? Start with the work itself and the payment terms each service puts in writing. We ran seven services through the same eight checks, each fact with a dated source and each gap marked. We don't rank anyone, and the table can't predict what you'll earn.

Last checked

Match the activity before the rate

For Claru, the table uses the household listing. Its gaming offer has its own table on the Claru comparison page. Each platform's own comparison shows what its sources cover and which questions are still open.

An hour of accepted footage and an hour spent rating responses are different work, so look at the activity and its paid unit before you look at the figure. One example project doesn't set the terms for every project, and it doesn't mean a spot is open for you.

Keep payment stages separate

Review, acceptance, settlement and the money reaching your account are separate steps, so ask which one starts each clock. A rate in dollars doesn't tell you what the transfer costs or how much will arrive.

Common mistakes when comparing work

  • Reading an hourly rate as pay for all the time you put in.
  • Assuming a payout method works in your country.
  • Treating review as the whole wait for payment.
  • Reading "not stated" as "no".
  • Mixing household and gaming offers that pay by different units.

How to read and correct this comparison

We publish this comparison, and TaskCapture is one of the seven services in it. The brand names are there to identify each service. We don't score, rank or endorse anyone. Every row goes through the same checks, with the same source chips and the same check date. A source shows what a company published; it can't prove what any one person was paid. Rates stay in their original unit, and we don't turn them into daily or monthly earnings. "Not stated" means we found no usable statement on that question in the material we checked.

Every month we re-check rates, payout methods, timing and registry notes. Every quarter we re-check each row, and we check all cited claims again before we republish. If a check fails or expires, we pull that claim from the table until it passes again. Registry notes that need a person to look get their own date. To report an error, email contact@taskcapture.ai with the row and a newer public source. Within five business days we review it, fix the row or mark it "not stated", and date the change here.

Change log: 2026-11-03, first comparison of the cited public material.

How TaskCapture arranges recording work

TaskCapture has three data types: residential, commercial and gaming. Gaming captures the screen and every keyboard, mouse or controller input in sync, with no camera, voice, chat or gamer handles.

We arrange each TaskCapture project with you by email, and the project details tell you how to hand over your footage.

Questions

Does this table predict what I will earn?

No. Each published figure keeps its unit and conditions. The table can't tell you how much of your work will be accepted, how many tasks you'll get, what you'll spend or what you'll earn.

What should I ask when a cell says "not stated"?

Ask the company for it in writing before you accept, and save the reply with the project details.

Can an official page prove a service is right for me?

No. An official page tells you what the company says about its own terms. It can't confirm that you'll be picked or paid later, so read the requirements of the specific project.

Collector guide

Read the terms before applying

The collector guide covers how recording works and ends at the application form. When a project comes in, read its details before you say yes.
