Is Contracted AI legit?

A real San Francisco company that sells egocentric robot data, named by The Globe and Mail (Oct 2026) among startups paying gig workers to film tasks. US App Store rating is high (4.8 from about 1.1K ratings) and reviewers say they were paid; one reviewer blog says the rate it was offered was far below the $8 headline and that its application went unanswered for weeks.

Does it pay? mixed

What you do

What we couldn’t confirm

The $8/$9/$12.50/$20 rates appear only in the homepage FAQ (seen with a JS-rendering fetch, not in the plain HTML); a reviewer blog says in-app rates vary by location and can be much lower. Payout method is not stated by the company (the blog says withdrawals go through Whop). The /terms and /privacy URLs returned only a one-paragraph company blurb, so the real terms could not be read. No funding information found. Homepage says 735 App Store ratings; the App Store page itself shows about 1.1K.
