Remotasks review: apps like it and what else is out there

What Remotasks is

Remotasks is run by Scale AI, Inc., a Delaware corporation, along with its affiliates including Smart Ecosystem Inc. Its Terms of Use name these companies as the contracting party, and the home page carries the line "Powered by Scale AI."

Taskers complete micro-tasks such as image labelling, audio transcription and data annotation for AI training. Remotasks says that harder projects, unlocked through further training, pay more than entry-level tasks.

Work is done through a web browser rather than a dedicated app. Remotasks says a computer and an internet connection are needed, and no Android or iOS app is named or linked on its public pages. The Terms of Use mention "approved mobile applications" in general terms, without naming one.

Remotasks states it is available in more than 90 countries, though a specific country list is not published on its public pages. Its Working Location Policy says that Generative AI projects are limited to certain countries, and that taskers on those projects may need to verify their identity and location with a government-issued ID and work only from their verified primary country.

What to look for in a similar app or site

If you are comparing Remotasks against other platforms, a few questions are worth asking before you sign up for any of them.

• Is it clear who runs the platform and whether work is done as an employee or as an independent contractor.
• Are the countries where it operates clearly listed, rather than a general claim about global availability.
• Are payout methods and any identity checks explained up front, especially for higher-paying projects.
• Is there a real support channel, rather than a help center that requires signing in before you can see anything.
• Does the site ask for an upfront payment or deposit at any point, which is a sign to walk away.

Remotasks' Terms of Use also require that the worker have a payment method approved by the company, and that payment details be for financial accounts in the worker's own name, which is a detail worth reading in full before signing up to any micro-task platform.

Remotasks vs. PocketsFull

Remotasks and PocketsFull are different kinds of platforms: one pays for completed data-labeling work, the other rewards members for surveys and offers.

How PocketsFull is different

PocketsFull is not a micro-task platform and does not offer image labelling, transcription or data-annotation work. It is an online rewards site where members take paid surveys and complete offers, including many game and app offers, and redeem the rewards they collect.

Joining PocketsFull is free and there is no deposit or payment required at any point: rewards are earned by completing surveys and offers, not bought. Not every survey fits every person, since survey providers look for specific profiles, so being screened out before the end happens to everyone from time to time.

PocketsFull also has a separate section of free browser games that need no download and no sign-up, though these are for fun and do not pay rewards. PocketsFull has an Android app on Google Play, and its website also works in a phone browser.

Where Remotasks is a form of contract work with its own pay structure and identity checks for certain projects, PocketsFull is closer to a reward program: you complete tasks like surveys and offers in your spare time and redeem what you collect, rather than being paid as a contractor.

How PocketsFull pays out

The box below shows the gift cards, PayPal and Litecoin options available to redeem, and the options shown depend on your country.

Remotasks lists PayPal and AirTM as its payout methods. PocketsFull also lists PayPal, but AirTM is not a payout option on PocketsFull.

A redeemed gift card is sent to the email address on your PocketsFull account.
