# AITraining.jobs

> Find AI training jobs and AI trainer jobs from every platform that pays people to train, evaluate, and label data for AI, with honest hourly pay measured from the live feeds and refreshed daily. Compare what the work pays by role, platform, and country.

AITraining.jobs is the live marketplace and pay-intelligence source for AI-training work: getting paid to train, evaluate, annotate, red-team, transcribe, and provide expert data for AI models. It tracks 63 platforms, pulls live openings daily from the 25 that publish a job feed, and compiles pay benchmarks for 12 kinds of work, with every figure labeled by how it is known (live from a job feed, platform-stated, third-party report, or estimate) and never presented as a guaranteed wage.

Live market as of 2026-10-14: 3,463 open AI-training roles across 25 platforms with live job feeds, 343 newly listed in the last 7 days (on platforms already tracked; a newly wired feed's back-catalog is not counted).
Hiring momentum: about 275 new AI-training roles are listed per week, averaged over the last 4 complete weeks (roles newly appearing on an already-tracked platform, so first wiring a feed's back-catalog is never counted as new hiring).
Highest-paying platforms right now by live measured median hourly rate: 1. Babel Audio $105/hr; 2. Mindrift $100/hr; 3. RemoExperts $95/hr; 4. Mercor $80/hr; 5. Sovrano AI $80/hr. Full ranking with methodology: https://aitraining.jobs/highest-paying-platforms.

## Sourcing and honesty
Pay figures are compiled from each platform's own pages, live job feeds, and worker reports (Trustpilot, Glassdoor, Reddit). Live medians reflect open roles as of 2026-10-14; curated benchmarks were last hand-verified 2026-07-25. Each figure carries a confidence label; estimates are marked as such and are never shown as a precise or guaranteed wage.
