$15.88 / hour

Pros

The tasks take thought and have a lot of variety. You need to figure out inferred parts of the story and write them down using ten dimensions, and no two tasks are the same. Parts of the task are repetitive and can be automated with scripts. Once you get the hang of it, they go quickly. Batches are enormous and each HIT takes a while, so the work is consistent.

Cons

If you don't use scripts, it requires a lot of typing and will almost certainly pay peanuts. Apparently the requester sometimes doesn't pay the promised bonuses, so don't count on them. Some parts of the interface are clunky, especially the prepositions which force you to use the ones they provide.

Simulate booking a trip: Start from New York, be in Paris September 13th and Madrid October 4th (version11) - $1.75

Fair

Unrated

Approved

$12.43 / hour

Pros

Cons

Buggy interface with an inept chatbot.

Annoying. Task inside the MTurk iframe which is larger than the frame. Every time I sent a message I had to reposition the frame.

Instructions lacking. Puts instructions in the HIT description. Told to book New York to Paris, Paris to Madrid. When trying to book, chatbot stated I needed to book in Asia. Ended up going to Thailand for no reason.

In the end, I never got it to book the trip, which was the main purpose of the task. I tried multiple variations, but the chatbot kept fidgeting over price. This better not end up as a rejection.

Pros

The robot is adorable
The tasks are simple
The interface is somewhat aesthetically pleasing, at least its a slight change from the normal HIT frame.
Pay is good, despite inefficient workflow & quite laggy/buggy program.
There is a payment/progress bar in the top right, which is nice.

Cons

Robot often "hangs" for a bit between questions or takes some time to process info/answers.
Interface could be vastly improved.
Code is a pain in the tail end to copy/paste.

Advice to Requester

Please give a button to click to copy/paste the final code.

Approval Tracking

Wage Aggregate Tracking

This is fairly straightforward: we take the completion time & the reward amount (where available) and calculate the average hourly rate for the task. We then apply that number to a simple range based on US minimum wage standards to color-code the data for easy to digest numerical data.

Color Pay Range (Hourly) Explanation
RED < $7.25 / hr Hourly averages below US Federal minimum wage
ORANGE $7.25 - $10.00 / hr Hourly averages between Federal & highest statewide (CA) minimum wages.
GREEN > $10.00 / hr Hourly averages above all US minimum wage standards

Reward Sentiment

Not all HITs are created equal. Sometimes an hourly wage doesn't convey the full story of a HIT's true worth, so we encourage workers to give their opinion on the overall pay of the task. Was it $8/hr to rate pictures of puppies? A worker could justifiably bump up the rating a bit for something so adorable. 10 hours locked in Inquisit? Even for $10/hr many workers would appreciate the heads up on such a task. The Pay Sentiment rating helps connect workers beyond the hard data.

Icon Rating Suggested Guidelines
Underpaid 1 / 5
  • Very low or no pay
  • Frustrating work experience
  • Inadequate instructions
Low 2 / 5
  • Below US min-wage ($7.25/hr)
  • No redeeming qualities to make up for pay
Fair 3 / 5
  • Minimum wages for task (consider SE taxes!)
  • Work experience offers nothing to tip the scales in a positive or negative direction
Good 4 / 5
  • Pay is above minimum wage, or compensates better than average for the level of effort required.
  • The overall work experience makes up for borderline wages
Generous 5 / 5
  • Pay is exceptional.
  • Interesting, engaging work or work environment
  • Concise instructions, well designed HIT.

Communication Ratings

Communication is an underrated aspect of mTurk. Clear, concise directions. A fast response to a clarification question or a resolution to a workflow suggestion can all be valuable aspects of interaction between Requesters & Workers and its worth keeping track of. Plus everyone enjoys the peace of mind knowing that if something does go wrong there will be an actual human getting back to you to solve the issue.

Icon Rating Suggested Guidelines
Unacceptable 1 / 5
  • No response at all
  • Rude response without a resolution
Poor 2 / 5
  • Responsive, but unhelpful
  • Required IRB or extra intervention
Acceptable 3 / 5
  • Responded in a reasonable timeframe
  • Resolves issues to a minimum level of satisfaction.
Good 4 / 5
  • Prompt Response
  • Positive resolution
Excellent 5 / 5
  • Prompt response time
  • Friendly & Professional
  • Helpful / Solved Issues
  • Interacts within the community

Approval Time Tracking

This rating is strictly for approval times. Let's face it, no one wants to mix approval time ratings with how fast a Requester rejects a HIT, so we've saved rejection flags for another category. This provides a more straightforward way to know about how long your HIT might sit pending before paying out. The default auto-approval for most MTurk tasks is 3 days, the maximum is 30 days. We've tried to base our ratings around those data-points.

Icon Rating Approval Time
Very Slow 1 / 5 Over 2 weeks
Slow 2 / 5 ~1 - 2 Weeks
Average 3 / 5 ~3 - 7 Days
Fast 4 / 5 ~1 - 3 Days
Very Fast 5 / 5 ~24 hours or less
