How was this page built?

  • Scope: Five platforms, compared on the same seven criteria: work type, pay model, advertised hourly range, entry process, accepted countries, payment method and payment schedule.
  • Sample: Official pages of each platform, read on October 20, 2026. Every fact links to the page it came from. A fact that is not on an official page is marked Not published.
  • Measured: Level has no dedicated feed for Mercor. The count covers live postings whose employer name starts with "mercor". Counted from Level's database when this page is built, refreshed every 10 minutes.
  • Currency: US dollars per hour, as advertised by the platform. These are advertised rates, not what any person will earn.
  • Not measured: Reviews, forums, social media, earnings reports and any score or ranking. Level does not rate platforms, and the order is alphabetical unless you choose a sort.

Level may earn a referral fee when you apply through some links. It does not change the order of jobs. How this works
