Review
Meridial is an expert contractor marketplace operated by Invisible Technologies, matching contributors to AI data and evaluation projects. Pay is region-tiered — US-based generalists earn around $20/hr, while the platform-wide range runs as low as $6/hr in lower-cost regions up to $65/hr for specialized work.
Because it shares infrastructure with Invisible Technologies, it inherits some of the same trade-offs: project-based work with no guaranteed hours, and pay that varies significantly by where you're located rather than purely by skill.
Pros
- Backed by the more established Invisible Technologies infrastructure
Cons
- Region-tiered pay means non-US contributors earn substantially less for similar work
- Generalist roles sit around just $20/hr even in the US tier
- Wide $6-65/hr range means most roles cluster toward the low end
Pricing
