Crowtado pays contributors to record conversations and everyday video for AI training. Each task shows its rate before you start, and you're paid for accepted work.
What is Clickworker?
Clickworker is a German microtask platform founded in 2005. It serves EN/DE bilingual contributors well and has a strong content cluster around audio recording jobs. The UX is dated and pay is at the lower end of the category, but the platform has been steadily reliable for two decades.
Recurring complaints in public reviews: Most tasks pay too little to be worth the time. Best-paying tasks fill up before you can reach them. Dashboard hasn't been redesigned in years.

Switching from Clickworker — what to know first.
Why are people leaving Clickworker?
The most common reasons in public reviews: Most tasks pay too little to be worth the time. Best-paying tasks fill up before you can reach them. On Crowtado, each task shows its rate and requirements before you start, and the trust page explains how reviews and withdrawals work.
What does Clickworker do better than Crowtado?
Long-running and reliable — two decades in business. Strong DE/EN bilingual support; pays into European bank accounts cleanly. If those are decisive for you, Clickworker may still be the right fit; this page exists for the contributors for whom they're not.
How long does it take to switch to Crowtado?
It depends on the task. Creating an account is free: sign up, complete your contributor profile, then pick a task that's open to you. Each task lists what it needs before you start.
Will Crowtado credit my Clickworker experience?
Not automatically. Experience on other platforms doesn't carry over, and each Crowtado task lists what it needs before you start.
