Looking for an alternative to Remotasks?
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 Remotasks?
Remotasks is Scale AI's older contributor brand. Onboarding was historically friendly — but in 2024 the company shut down or restricted contributors in Kenya, Nigeria, Pakistan, and several other emerging markets. Trustpilot rating is now 2.1 and active contributor sentiment is hostile.
Recurring complaints in public reviews: Banned in my country with no warning; account locked and unpaid balance forfeited. Pay rates dropped from $1+/task to a few cents/task. Quality reviews are arbitrary; tasks rejected without explanation.

Switching from Remotasks — what to know first.
Why are people leaving Remotasks?
The most common reasons in public reviews: Banned in my country with no warning; account locked and unpaid balance forfeited. Pay rates dropped from $1+/task to a few cents/task. On Crowtado, each task shows its rate and requirements before you start, and the trust page explains how reviews and withdrawals work.
What does Remotasks do better than Crowtado?
Used to have generous training paths and large task volume. Long-running brand with well-documented external tutorials. If those are decisive for you, Remotasks 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 Remotasks experience?
Not automatically. Experience on other platforms doesn't carry over, and each Crowtado task lists what it needs before you start.
