Crowtado

What is Crowtado?

Crowtado is a crowdsourcing platform that pays contributors to create the real-world data AI models are trained on. Using just a phone, contributors complete short tasks across three categories: voice (reading scripts, natural conversations, dialect samples, emotional readings), video (point-of-view recordings such as cooking demonstrations), and photos (for example documenting storefronts or objects). Tasks are posted with pricing shown upfront, and contributors are paid for completed, approved work, task pay reportedly reaches up to $40 per hour depending on the task, and payouts are typically reviewed and released within a median of about 21 hours. Crowtado supports payout via Venmo, PayPal, Wise, M-Pesa, UPI, and a number of local banks, with a $10 minimum payout, and it reports paying out roughly $140,000 per week across its contributor base. The platform has grown to more than 100,000 active contributors across 42-plus countries, with a contributor referral program (contributors can earn a bonus when a referred friend completes a set amount of paid tasks). Crowtado sits in the same category as other AI-training-data crowdsourcing platforms: it is not a traditional employer, and there is no cost to contributors to join and complete tasks.

Mission & values

Make it easy for anyone with a phone to earn money by contributing the voice, video, and photo data that trains real-world AI models.

Qualifications

Crowtado does not require a résumé or formal application in the traditional sense; anyone eligible in a supported country can sign up and start completing available tasks from their phone. What matters is completing tasks accurately and following each task's specific instructions (voice: clear audio and following the script or prompt naturally; video: filming the requested point-of-view content clearly; photos: capturing the correct subject and angle), since payment depends on the submission being reviewed and approved. Task availability varies by category, language, and region, and higher-paying or more specialized tasks (for example specific dialects, accents, or content types) may require passing a short qualification or sample submission. This is gig, task-based work rather than a job with fixed hours or guaranteed income, contributors choose which available tasks to complete and are paid per task, similar to other AI-training-data platforms. It is a good fit for people who want flexible, phone-based side income rather than full-time remote employment.
