A Better Way to Get Paid for Flexible Work

On Outlier, we believe experts deserve a seamless, reliable, and transparent payment experience. As the leading platform connecting subject matter experts to cutting-edge Generative AI projects, we’ve seen rapid growth in the past year. Today, hundreds of thousands of Outlier Experts contribute to building the most advanced AI systems, all while enjoying the freedom of flexible work from home.

With that growth has come the responsibility to enhance the experts' experience. One of the biggest areas we’ve improved recently is how Outlier Experts get paid.

Smarter Earnings Tracking for Flexible Work

We’ve made upgrades to the Earnings tab so contributors can now track compensation with more clarity and control than ever. You can view current and past earnings accrued from completed tasks, and enjoy a granular and searchable breakdown. These include details like pay rate per task or total hours worked. 

Additionally, you can now more easily track your real-time earnings while working on a project that’s currently in progress. This means whether you’re wrapping up a long session or checking in after a few microtasks, you’ll always know where you stand.

Payment Support Designed for Remote Experts

We know flexibility doesn’t just mean when you work, it also means having confidence in how you get paid. That’s why we’ve rolled out updates to minimize common payment delays. No matter which payment provider you use (e.g., PayPal, AirTM, or bank transfer), you’ll benefit from tooltips that help explain any issues and guide you toward resolution. 

Finally, and perhaps most importantly, we’ve bolstered our support system over the past year to better manage any issues that arise with payment. Over the past 12 weeks, we have resolved 96% of pay-related inquiries within 10 days, so you can rest (or work!) easy knowing you’ll be compensated and have your questions answered in a timely manner.

Whether you're a digital nomad, stay-at-home parent, recent grad, or career professional looking for part-time work from home with flexible hours, we want your journey with Outlier to be rewarding, both intellectually and financially.

And if you ever need extra help? Our support team is here.

Why This Matters

Outlier Experts play a critical role in shaping the future of AI. Your subject matter expertise makes Generative AI more accurate, ethical, and useful, and you deserve a payment system that respects that value.

We’re not just building a platform; we’re building a better way to work, get paid, and grow.
