Microworker.app and Microworkers.com are separate, unaffiliated services.
The differences that matter.
Consider Microworker for a fixed-reward pilot. An established Microworkers Hire Group or API workflow may be a good reason to stay where you are.
Microworker and Microworkers
Standard employer fee
Microworker 5% of the reward budget + $1 per job. One job can have many worker positions.

Other fee models
Microworker Verified ($50 per 30 days) waives the platform fee. Count the plan in your total.
Microworkers Hire Group: no approval fee; 10% for tasks of $0.10 or more, otherwise $0.01 per task. [1]
Campaign size

Microworkers Basic: at least 30 positions. Hire Group: 1 or more. [1]
How work is checked

What’s included?
Standard USD fees only. Payment processing, taxes, refunds and promotions are excluded, and per-task rounding can differ at checkout.
Microworker’s minimum wallet funding is $20, separate from the job cost. Verified costs $50 per 30 days and currently waives the platform fee; include it if you choose it.
Basic requires 30 or more positions. Hire Group uses a separate schedule: no approval fee, 10% for rewards of $0.10 or more, otherwise $0.01 per assignment; proof fees may apply.
Here to earn? How payouts compare.
For workers, the difference is mostly in what each platform keeps and how you can be paid.
Fee on earnings
Microworker 0% — workers receive the full reward shown on the task.
Microworkers A 10% service charge is deducted from each Satisfied task. [2]
Minimum withdrawal
Microworker $5
Microworkers $9 (Airtm, PayPal, Skrill, Onto), $10 (Transpay), $20 (Payoneer). [1]
Payout methods
Microworker USDT on BNB Smart Chain (BEP20); USDC on BNB Smart Chain (BEP20).
Microworkers Airtm, PayPal, Skrill, Payoneer, Transpay and Onto. [1]
When payouts go out
Microworker Request a withdrawal whenever your earned balance reaches $5; requests are checked, then sent to your wallet.
Microworkers Twice a week, on Wednesdays and Sundays, once identity (KYC) is verified. [2]
Good to know before you join: Microworker’s daily balance rule can move part of an earned balance after notice on consecutive inactive UTC days — 0.5%, then 1%, then 2% — to that day’s active workers. Deposits, money still under review and payouts are never touched, and a day with no task available to you does not count.

What to check before you move.
Basic and Hire Group are different comparisons
The calculator uses Microworkers Basic. If you already work with a chosen group of workers, compare the Hire Group schedule and the cost of moving that workflow separately — do not apply the Basic approval fee to Hire Group.
Move the brief before moving the budget
Copy your own task instructions, examples of acceptable proof and country or device requirements. Do not transfer workers’ personal data without permission. Start with one job and check the work before migrating a larger campaign.
- Use measurable completion requirements.
- Choose proof that demonstrates the work.
- Check that automated review suits the task.
- Compare the final funding screen before paying.
Keep integration costs in the decision
Both platforms document APIs. If your system already creates campaigns and reads results through Microworkers, test authentication, task fields, results and retries on Microworker before replacing that integration.
Choose what fits your work.
A few good questions.
Is Microworker always cheaper than Microworkers?
No. It changes with campaign size, reward, campaign type, proof surcharge and subscriptions. At 100 positions paying $0.50, our standard total is $53.50 and Microworkers Basic is $54.50, before its optional proof surcharge and other excluded costs.
Do Microworkers workers pay a fee?
Its FAQ says a 10% service charge is deducted from each Satisfied task. Microworker takes no fee from worker earnings; withdrawals start at $5, with only the blockchain network fee.
Can I move my existing campaign automatically?
There is no one-click import. Recreate and test the brief and proof first. For eligible employers, the separate migration offer has its own application, limits and rules.
Should I search for microworker or microworkers?
The singular and plural lead to different services. This site is Microworker.app; the other platform is Microworkers.com.
