Receipts
These are the dashboards behind the numbers on the what this pays page. Straight from each platform, nothing rebuilt or retyped. Invoice numbers and my payout details are blacked out. Every amount, date and payment status is exactly as the platform shows it.
Handshake AI
$66,569.52 this year, $67,692.54 all time, paid weekly. The panel on the right is the platform's own running total.
micro1
22 invoices this year. micro1 has no running total, so these two views are the list itself. The 20 rows visible here come to $48,107.50. The two not in frame are not counted anywhere on this site.
Mercor
$3,664.71, earned across August to October 2025. None of it is in the 2026 figure. I stopped taking work there because the other two filled my week, not because anything went wrong.
What this does and does not prove
It proves these platforms pay real money to a real person on a real schedule, which is the thing people assume is false. It proves nothing at all about what you would earn. I am one contractor with one set of specialities, working at this close to full time, and I had to fail a fair few assessments before any of it started. Read the honest version before you take a number off this page and apply it to yourself.
