Research and data tasks, done by real people

Give a hunter a clear question or a small dataset and get back verified work. You fund the reward, they deliver the result, and you approve before the payout is released.

Example data & research tasks

  • Compile a list

    Emails, prices, or product data gathered from a list of sites — delivered as a spreadsheet or text file.

  • Data entry from documents

    Turn scanned pages or images into clean, organized rows with the columns you specify.

  • Answer a research question

    Get a cited summary with the sources you specify, formatted the way you want it.

How proof works

  1. Post and fund. Describe the task, set the reward from $2.00, and fund it — the reward is held in escrow.
  2. A hunter completes it. A real person claims the task and delivers deliverable with source proof.
  3. You approve, then they get paid. Review the proof. Approve it and the hunter is paid — or reject it and you pay nothing.

What it costs

Rewards start at $2.00 per hunter on the free plan, plus a 20% service fee (minimum $0.40). Pro members pay a 10% fee and can set rewards from $0.50 with listings up to 30 days. Hunters keep 100% of the reward.

Frequently asked questions

How do research tasks work?
Describe the data or answer you need and set a reward. A hunter completes the work, submits the deliverable plus proof of their sources, and you approve before the payout is released.
What kind of research can I post?
Anything a person can do with a browser or documents: list building, data entry, comparisons, cited summaries, and collection tasks. You set the format and the acceptance criteria.
How much do data tasks cost?
Rewards start at $2.00 per hunter on the free plan, plus a 20% service fee (minimum $0.40). Pro members pay a 10% fee and can set rewards from $0.50.
How is quality protected?
Payout only happens after you approve the deliverable. If the work doesn't meet your stated requirements, you can reject it and the reward stays escrowed.
