We track 86 AI-training platforms in one directory, from expert networks paying up to $700/hr to accessible microtask crowds. See who fits your skills and location.
Compare what you'll earn
Real pay benchmarks across 12 kinds of work, each labeled by how we know it, from live job feeds to platform-stated averages. No inflated marketing numbers.
Get matched and apply
We pull open roles live from the job feeds of the 0 platforms hiring now (0 open right now), rank the best-paying ones for you, and link you straight to apply.
Where the work is
Platforms worth your time.

Why trust our numbers
Every pay figure carries its receipts.
This industry runs on inflated averages. AITraining.jobs labels every figure by how we know it, so you can tell a live wage from a hopeful estimate at a glance. Benchmarks are compiled from public sources; live data was last refreshed 2026-07-25.
Read the full methodology for exactly how each figure is sourced and kept current.
Every pay figure is labeled one of four ways
Live from job feed read straight from a platform's own open-role feed
Platform-stated published by the platform itself
Third-party reports from worker reports and aggregators
Estimate a range where no live source exists
How we stay free
Some links on AITraining.jobs are referral links. If you sign up through one, AITraining.jobs may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. It never changes what a platform pays you.
We also run paid expert-data projects for companies building AI, staffed with professionals who join our expert bench: the company pays us, and we pay the professionals who do the work. This never changes how roles, platforms or pay figures are ranked or shown, and some of the platforms we list run similar projects themselves.
The work behind AI should pay you well. Let’s find it.
Set your skills and rate, and get matched to the best-paying AI-training roles across every platform. Free, forever, for trainers.
