Computed from live Turing roles on NearSkill. Figures are USD unless stated, updated through the day, and reflect the rates employers published on each listing. Roles without a published rate are counted separately and never estimated. Implausible outliers (hourly above $500, yearly above $2M, flipped ranges) are excluded from the range math so one bad row cannot distort the band.

Turing pay, answered
How much does Turing pay in 2026?
A July 2026 benchmark of 2,628 AI training listings found Turing at a median of about $27/hr, with AI training work spanning $15–$75/hr. Expert tracks pay far more: finance experts $80–$150/hr and medical or science experts $70–$110/hr. The table on this page is computed from live Turing roles on NearSkill.
Is Turing legit?
Yes. Turing is venture-backed (founded 2018, $140M+ raised) with Fortune 500 clients and documented payouts. The 2026 complaints are about payment speed, not payment itself: withdrawal delays of weeks to months dominate its Trustpilot reviews, which reviewers describe as a payments-operations problem rather than a scam.
Why are Turing withdrawals delayed?
The recurring 2026 complaint is withdrawal delays of weeks to months. Reviewers describe it as a payments-operations problem, not a scam: payouts are documented, just slow. Keep your own hours log, chase balances early, and withdraw as soon as thresholds allow.
How do I get hired on Turing?
Apply and complete a 45-minute analytical challenge, then pass a 30-minute writing assessment (non-coders) or LeetCode-style coding tests (developers). Onboarding takes 5–14 days, and contracts run 1–3 months with a 2–5 hour daily PST overlap.
Does Turing pay well for domain experts?
On the expert track, yes: finance experts $80–$150/hr and medical or science experts $70–$110/hr. The generalist median of about $27/hr sits below expert market rates, so the expert assessments are where the money is. Check the live roles on this page for today’s published expert rates.
