Median pay is the middle hourly rate among the roles in that row that state one, in US dollars; each distinct rate on a platform counts once, and "up to" ceilings, per-task pay and paid studies are left out. A dash means fewer than five rates.

How we counted

Hours come from postings that state a weekly minimum or maximum; each role is placed by the fewest hours it asks for. Every figure is worked out from the open roles listed on aitrainers.jobs, re-checked hourly against each platform's own job board, and updates with them.
