Rate per recorded hour
Hub pays per approved recording hour. The current range:
| Task type | Rate per hour |
|---|---|
| Regular task | $5 |
| Boosted task | $6 |
The word that decides everything is approved. An hour recorded outside the technical standard does not count. That is why your effective rate per hour of effort dips at the start, while you get the framing right, and climbs once the routine is automatic.
Milestone bonuses
| Milestone | Reward |
|---|---|
| 1 hour | ≈ $3 bonus |
| 2 hours | Prize draw ticket |
| 5 hours | ≈ $2 bonus |
| 10 hours | Prize draw ticket |
| 20 hours | Prize draw ticket |
| 40 hours | Premium Collector status |
| 50 hours | ≈ $10 bonus |
| 75 hours | Monthly iPhone draw ticket |
| 100 hours | Premium head strap |
| 200 hours | Monthly iPhone draw ticket |
Notice the cash bonuses cluster at the start — the first hour pays a bonus worth more than the hour itself. That is deliberate design to break inertia. Prize draws are not income; keep them out of your planning.
Realistic monthly estimate
| Pace | Hours/month | Approximate earnings |

| Weekends only | 8 h | $40–48 |

Referral commission
- Level 1: about $0.50 per approved hour from everyone you invite.
- Level 2: about $0.25 per approved hour from the people they invite.
- No cap on invites.
Ten invites recording 10 hours a month pay you about $50 monthly without you recording anything. It is recurring while they record — and drops to zero when they stop.
How the payout works
- Minimum: about $5.
- Methods: vary by country.
- Average time: 1 to 2 days.
- Prerequisite: identity verified in the portal.
Cash out the first time you hit the minimum. It tests the full cycle before you invest dozens of hours — the only way to answer for yourself whether the platform is legit.
What actually cuts into your earnings
- Rejections. The biggest loss. Vertical framing, a hand out of frame or weak light zeroes the hour.
- Currency. Rates are in dollars; your local currency moves between recording and cashing out.
- Setup time. Mounting the strap, picking a task and uploading the file are not paid hours.
- Data. Uploading half an hour of 1080p eats a mobile plan — prefer Wi-Fi.
- Taxes. Depending on volume and country there is a filing obligation. Confirm with an accountant.
Rates, bonuses, currencies and methods are set by Hub and can change without notice. The numbers on this page reflect conditions observed in August 2026 — check the current table inside your account.
