About TaskKey

We don't pay you. We help you find who does.

That distinction is the whole product. Task work is full of sites promising income and delivering nothing, so TaskKey is built the opposite way round: plain descriptions, comparable fields, and blanks where we haven't confirmed something.

What TaskKey does

  • Lists platforms with the same fields, so they can actually be compared
  • Labels every listing as ours or third-party, everywhere it appears
  • Shows where a rating came from, or shows nothing at all
  • Explains how payouts and referral links work, in plain language

What TaskKey isn't

  • An employer. We don't hand out tasks or hold a balance for you
  • An earnings promise. We publish no income figures, because we can't verify any
  • A tracker. Payments happen on other platforms, so we never see them
  • Neutral about money. Some links earn us a commission, and we label them

How people use it

Read, compare, then commit your time.

Narrow it down

Filter by the kind of work, the payment methods you can actually receive, and how much time you have. Captcha work and paid research suit very different days.

Put them side by side

Compare up to four platforms on the same rows — requirements, payout methods, minimums. Blank means unconfirmed, not zero.

Go to the platform

Open the platform itself and register there. You work on their site under their terms, and they pay you directly.

Questions

The things worth asking first.

Does TaskKey pay me?

No. The platforms in the directory pay their own workers directly, under their own terms. Where a listing is one we operate ourselves rather than a third party, it carries an "Our platform" label so you always know the difference.

How much can I earn?

We don't publish figures, because we can't verify them. What you earn depends on the platform, the work available there and how much time you put in. Anyone quoting you a guaranteed monthly income for task work is selling something.

Do I need an account?

No. Browsing, searching, comparing and saving all work without one. An account only exists so your saved platforms follow you to another device.

Are the links referral links?

Some are. If you sign up through one, the platform may pay us a commission — it costs you nothing and changes none of your terms. Where a listing uses one, the disclosure is on that listing's page.

Why are some fields empty?

Because we haven't confirmed them. An empty minimum withdrawal means we don't know it, not that there isn't one. We'd rather show a gap than a guess.
