TaskMaster - The Mechanical Turk alternative with ID-verified workers

by•
Mechanical Turk shut down on September 30, 2026. TaskMaster is a microtask marketplace where every worker verifies their identity with an ID and a selfie. Post online or in-store tasks, get photos and answers as evidence, and pay only for the work you approve. The budget is reserved up front.

Hi Product Hunt! 👋 When Amazon shut down Mechanical Turk on September 30, a lot of teams lost the place where they ran small tasks, and a lot of people lost part of their income. We built TaskMaster around two things we think MTurk got wrong: knowing who did the work, and making sure people get paid fairly. • Every worker verifies their identity (ID + selfie) before their first task. • Every submission comes with evidence: photos, documents, answers. • Field tasks are geofenced, so a store audit really happened in the store. • The budget is reserved before work starts, unreviewed work auto-approves, and workers can dispute a rejection within 15 days. Teams use it for retail audits, mystery shopping, surveys and data annotation (classification, ratings, side-by-side comparisons). Sign-up is free for businesses and workers. We’d love your feedback, and we’ll be here all day to answer questions!
