Mercor or Alignerr?

Getting started requires a résumé review and a 20-minute AI interview, which you can retake up to three times. Alignerr is the easier entry point for generalists and language speakers, and its weekly pay arrives by Friday instead of Wednesday.

Its listings favor experts in software, science, law and medicine, and language roles are rare. Pay arrives twice a month through Deel, and you can withdraw it several ways.
