How much micro1 pays

The figures in the box above are calculated live from the micro1 roles we currently list, using only rates the platform publishes, without conversion or estimates. Ranges are usually set per person, by experience, language and location, so the top of a range is a ceiling rather than a promise. Compare roles in the same unit, per hour or per task, and read our guide to advertised rates vs actual earnings.

Who can apply

micro1 roles range from entry-level transcription to senior specialists. Expert roles often ask for several years of professional experience, sometimes a degree or licence, and strong English (several listings mention B2 minimum, C1 preferred). Some roles are open worldwide, others only in specific countries.
