How to apply to Pila8

Who can join

• Be at least 18 (or the age of majority where you live): the terms require it, and the application asks for your birth month and year.
• A Google or Apple account: those are the only two sign-in options in the app.
• Living in a country the role lists: on 4 November 2026 the three English roles took applicants in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Ireland, New Zealand, Singapore and South Africa, and the Swiss German role, posted 21 October, listed 130 countries for native speakers of six Swiss German dialects.
• Living in the country on your account and holding a photo ID issued by that country: the Voice Contributor Agreement requires you to be physically located in and a resident of it, and the app warns that an ID from another country fails verification and suspends the account.
• A phone or computer with a working microphone, stable internet and a quiet place to record. Higher-spec projects may also need an external microphone, a treated room, a camera or a set file format, shown before you start.
• Only your own voice: outside conversation tasks you must be the sole speaker in every file, and only original recordings you made are accepted, never synthetic, cloned or reused audio.

Step by step

1. 1

   Pick a role on the job list

   Open pila8.com/jobs (4 open roles on 4 November 2026: three English roles and a Swiss German one) and read the role: its pay, the countries it takes and its equipment. Pila8 says the application usually takes under 5 minutes and that you do not need to pay to apply.

2. 2

   Sign in with Google or Apple

   Click Apply or Start earning and continue with Google or Apple. By continuing you accept the Terms of Service, the Privacy Policy and the Voice Contributor Agreement, so read the agreement first.

3. 3

   Fill in your profile

   Give your name, birth month and year, gender, race or ethnicity, occupation, how you heard about Pila8, your country and state or region, the languages you speak and your native accent or dialect. Choose your real country of residence: changing it may affect eligibility or put your application on the waitlist.

4. 4

   Record the onboarding audition

   You complete the general onboarding audition once: the homepage describes it as one short recording so Pila8 can check your audio quality. Some specialized projects may require a separate category qualification or short quality check before you can participate.

5. 5

   Wait for the decision

   While your application is under review, you can submit one standard recording. The homepage says you can apply and get approved in minutes, but the app itself gives no review time. The outcome is approved, waitlisted (full access is not available right now and Pila8 will notify you), or not approved with a reason and a limited number of attempts to reapply.

6. 6

   Pick tasks and record

   Each task shows its rate or reward and its rules before you begin, and most projects want raw, unprocessed audio. In each category you start on a small daily cap that rises as your work is reviewed and approved.

7. 7

   Track each submission

   Your dashboard shows whether work is pending, approved or rejected. Reviews check technical quality and whether you followed the instructions, by automated checks, people or both; earnings are added only after approval.

8. 8

   Verify your ID and cash out

   Before payouts can be enabled, every contributor passes an ID check through Stripe Identity or Persona: a government photo ID and a selfie. Then choose Stripe or Dots and request a payout once you pass the minimum shown in your dashboard; an admin review may take up to 5 business days.

Tips to get accepted

• Check the pay unit. Some tasks pay per approved audio hour, so an hour of pay can take more than an hour of recording, and only approved work counts.
• On the Swiss German role, pay is US$55 per approved audio hour (US$42 when read on 29 October 2026), counted from the accepted recording time rather than time spent, and you must submit at least five conversations to qualify for payment.
• Get the ID check right the first time. The app limits attempts before your account is locked for identity verification, and says additional attempts (in some countries, every attempt) cost a fee from your approved earnings to cover the verification fee.
• The Audio Pro badge speeds up pay: with at least 30 approved uploads in the past 30 days and over 80% of reviewed uploads approved, the app says you are paid every Wednesday instead of every other Wednesday.
• Read the Voice Contributor Agreement before your first recording: it assigns your recordings to Besimple and licenses your voice and likeness worldwide and forever, including for text-to-speech and synthetic media. Since 21 October 2026 it bars using them to make a synthetic replica of your voice.
• Keep every recording genuine: Besimple may reverse pay for a submission it later finds a problem with, even one already approved, and may claw back pay and ban an account it suspects of AI-generated or altered audio.
• If a payment looks wrong, email legal@besimple.ai within 30 days of the payment date: after that, the terms treat the payment as final.
• For help, write to support@pila8.com. In conversation tasks, do not talk about Pila8, Besimple, payments or the platform; use support for platform issues.
