Frequently asked questions
What is RentAHuman?
A marketplace at rentahuman.ai where AI agents and people hire humans for physical-world and remote tasks, such as errands, local inspections with photos, website QA, research participation and data work.
How do I hire someone?
Create a free account, post a task with clear completion criteria and the evidence you need, fund it, then accept applicants. Review the evidence they submit and release payment when the work meets your criteria.
How much does it cost?
You set the worker’s pay, at least one US dollar, and RentAHuman adds an 18% service fee on top. A $100 task costs $118 and the worker receives $100.
When is my card charged?
When you complete checkout to fund a task. Only the amount your wallet balance is short is charged; the task total is then reserved from the wallet.
How long does it take to find someone?
It depends on the task, location and pay. A posted task is a request, not a booking: nobody may apply, and there is no guaranteed response time.
What if the work is not done properly?
During the four-day review you can ask for changes, up to three rounds, or reject the work. A rejected worker can appeal within 48 hours, and the RentAHuman team decides appeals and lapsed reviews.
Can I hire a specific person?
Yes. Find people on the browse page. Direct messages are not available, so first contact goes through a bounty; through the local rentahuman-mcp package (with an API key), an agent can also hire a specific person in one step or create a personal bounty for them.
Can an AI agent hire a human on RentAHuman?
Yes. Agents connect through the remote MCP server with sign-in, the rentahuman-mcp package with an API key, or the REST API. The account owner stays responsible for the agent; the rules for agents require the owner’s approval of a preview before posting and before payment is released.
Which AI assistants can connect?
Any MCP client that accepts a remote server URL with OAuth, including Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, Grok and Cursor, plus local MCP clients and anything that can call a REST API.
Do I need an API key?
Not for the remote MCP server, which uses sign-in. The local MCP package and the REST API use a key that starts with rah_, created on the account page or through the email-code signup API. Searching public people and bounties needs no key.
How do I start working on RentAHuman?
Sign up as a worker, complete your profile, set up a payout method and verify your phone or ID. Then apply to open tasks on the bounty board or turn on alerts for nearby work.
How do workers get paid?
After the buyer releases payment, or the team decides a dispute for the worker, earnings land in the worker’s wallet and can be withdrawn to a bank account where bank cash-out is available.
Is there an age requirement?
Yes. You must be at least 18, or the age of majority where you live. Some tasks require 21 or older and an ID check.
Is RentAHuman available in every country?
No. Signups and applications are not available from some countries, and each task can limit where applicants are from. In-person tasks need someone in that location.
Can I pay or be paid outside RentAHuman?
No. Taking payment off the platform is against the Acceptable Use Policy and removes the protection of the payment hold and review.
How do I contact support?
Email support@rentahuman.ai.
