Is Alignerr legit?

Real Labelbox-backed network with a 4.5 Trustpilot score, much of it praising the AI interview. Complaints centre on abrupt deactivations, unpaid tracked hours after removal, and slow template support; its BBB profile is rated F with most complaints unanswered.

Does it pay? mixed

What you do

Subject experts and skilled generalists create training data and grade AI outputs: writing domain prompts and code challenges, evaluating model answers against rubrics, describing images, annotating video and red-teaming.

The details

Pay: $40–150/hr
As published: Homepage role cards show $40–120/hr and an average pay of $80/hr; About and Process pages say up to $150/hr for some expert roles. FAQ: rates vary by project and are listed in each project description.
Open in: worldwide
FAQ welcomes applicants from around the world; payout provider depends on location; phone verification only for US/Canada numbers. Sanctioned countries not listed on its own pages.
You need: computer, Hubstaff time-tracking app (screenshots) on some projects
Paid by: Stripe, PayPal
Minimum age: 18+
Company: Alignerr LLC — 'powered by Labelbox' (a Labelbox-led expert network)
Backers: Labelbox raised $100M+ Series E at a $1.25B pre-money valuation, led by Infinitum Partners (Oct 14, 2026, Unite.AI).

Red flags

BBB rating F, not accredited; 9 complaints in 3 years, 8 unanswered (unpaid work, removals, withheld pay).
FAQ: if Trust & Safety deactivates an account and the appeal is rejected, completed work is not paid.
Some projects require Hubstaff, which takes periodic screenshots and logs URLs/apps used.

What we couldn’t confirm

Its FAQ contradicts itself: it welcomes applicants worldwide but one answer says only US driver's licences/state IDs/US permits are accepted for ID verification. No payout schedule published (only a homepage stat of $1M paid weekly). The application may include a Zara AI interview — Zara is also the name of micro1's AI recruiter; relationship not confirmed. Labelbox's announcement does not name Alignerr.
