Terac pays experts per study rather than per hour. AI companies and research teams commission structured studies, interviews, evaluations and feedback sessions inside a specific profession, and Terac runs a verified panel of professionals to fill them. You complete a session, it is approved, you are paid the listed fee.
Single sessions on live listings commonly post between $100 and $350. That per-study pricing is both the appeal and the constraint: the effective hourly rate is strong, but studies arrive as invites matched to your profile, and volume is opportunity-based rather than steady.
Which is why Terac pairs well with the hourly platforms in this feed instead of replacing them: it is high-value marginal income on top of a base, not the base.

Terac prices per approved study, not per hour, so the live listings below show a fee per session rather than a rate. Sessions commonly post between $100 and $350, which for a sub-hour interview outruns most hourly work in this feed. Payment lands on approval of the completed session.
Terac verifies professionals across medicine, law, finance, engineering, research and operations, then matches studies to verified expertise. Its panel spans well over a hundred thousand registered experts, but any given study wants a narrow slice of them.
Selection runs on specifics: a specialty, a jurisdiction, a tool you use at work, a decision you own. The more precisely your profile states what you actually do, the more invites clear the screeners.
There is no single big assessment. Terac verifies your professional identity once, then gates each study with a short eligibility screener. Passing the screener means the study wanted exactly your profile; failing one means nothing beyond that study.
Many studies run as AI-led interviews: you talk through your expertise and opinions with an interviewer, and payment follows approval of the session. Clear, specific, first-hand answers are what get approved. Vague or padded responses are what get rejected, so the skill worth practising is the same one the rest of this market screens for: explaining your reasoning aloud, concretely, to an AI interviewer.
Skillora runs the same format: a domain interview with an AI interviewer, followed by feedback on how you explained your reasoning. Take it as many times as you want before the one that counts.
Start a free practice interviewYes. Terac is a real expert-research marketplace with a large verified panel, paying fixed fees for completed, approved studies. The honest caveat is volume: it is opportunity-based. Invites cluster when client studies run in your field and go quiet between them, so no one should treat it as predictable income.
Fees are fixed per study and shown on each listing; single sessions commonly post between $100 and $350, with specialist studies higher. Because sessions often run under an hour, the effective hourly rate beats most hourly platforms in this feed. Payment is released when the completed session is approved.
Mostly as structured interviews and evaluations, many of them AI-led: you respond to questions about your professional experience, decisions and opinions, on your own schedule once you accept an invite. Some studies are asynchronous written or evaluation tasks. Each listing states its format, length and fee before you commit.
It depends entirely on demand in your profession. Some weeks bring several eligible studies, some bring none; that is the per-study model working as designed. The lever you control is profile precision: verified credentials and specific expertise fields route more invites past the screeners to you.
Verified professionals with first-hand expertise: clinicians, attorneys, finance professionals, engineers, researchers, operators. There is no degree gate as such, but every study screens for specific, demonstrable experience, and verification checks that you are who your profile says. Deep, narrow expertise gets invited more than broad generalism.
On approval. You complete a session, the research team reviews it against the study’s criteria, and the listed fee is released to you once approved. Approval standards reward the same thing the screeners do: specific, engaged, first-hand answers rather than generic ones. Rejected sessions are the exception, not the rule, for contributors who answer substantively.
