How much does OpenTrain AI pay?

OpenTrain AI's researched rate card says $6–$50/hr on its own postings (top $60) (platform-stated, as of 3 Nov 2026). Read on 3 Nov 2026 from OpenTrain's own job feed (opentrain.ai/jobs/feed.json, the same 904 listings as its job sitemap) and each role's app page, which says whether OpenTrain re-lists it: 869 are roles of micro1 (364), SuperAnnotate's SME Careers (264), Turing (224) and Handshake (17), listed on this site under the platform that posted them, and 35 are posted on OpenTrain itself, by the employers that hire through it. Pay is set by the hiring company and stated on each page: 34 of the 35 state an hourly rate, one a rate per label ($0.80, French phoneme transcription). The middle posting runs $15 to $22 an hour (the median low and high ends); 25 start at $15 or less and none reaches $100, the top a computational chemistry problem designer with a PhD at $15 to $60. By field: coding, data science and engineering experts (Python) mostly $15 to $40 or $50 (to $60), a CBRN safety RLHF expert $50 to $52, a speech-language pathologist $25 to $45, audio transcription and phonetics $2 to $20, and document, image and fertility-data annotation $5 to $14. The band above trims the extremes (10th percentile of the low ends, 90th of the high ends); the live median and typical range on this page are measured from its open postings every day. OpenTrain's own board summary that day says its hourly roles list up to $400 an hour, which counts the roles it re-lists.

Employers fund each milestone up front. When the work is done you request payout, and after the employer approves it OpenTrain pays your bank through Stripe on a daily payout schedule. Workers pay no fees (its terms put marketplace fees on clients). Stripe payouts cover the 120 countries on its list, which leaves out Brazil and China.
