Trainer earnings
How much do AI trainers make? The rates platforms publish
Updated
The answer starts with what each platform is willing to put on its own page, and how it words it.
Ranges, not single rates
Most platforms that publish pay give a range tied to the work. Handshake's MOVE programme FAQ says hourly rates are $30–$125, based on education level, expertise and project, and Mindrift's home page gives entry-level and domain-expert bands separately.
One stated minimum
Prolific states a minimum rate of £6 / $8 per hour, and no other page on the board states a floor. The other lowest figures in the table are where a published band starts, such as Mindrift's entry level at $15 to $30 an hour.
Per-task platforms
2 platforms on the board pay per task or per session, and the page we read for each gives no hourly figure to compare. Their rate cells read not stated rather than carrying a converted rate.
Is there an AI trainer salary?
Not on the pages we read. Of the platforms on the board, 7 pay contract work by the hour and 2 per task; the pages we read for the per-task platforms state no rate, and none publishes an annual salary for the role. Multiplying an hourly band by a full working year gives a figure no platform states and no contract promises, because your hours depend on the projects you are offered.
