Published payout ranges by headcount

Only one programme publishes bands by employee count: Replay, at $10K to $100K for 20 to 50 staff, $100K to $1M for 50 to 250 and $1,000,000+ above. Others publish one range with an entry bar, such as Handshake AI ($100K to $4M+, 20+ staff) and Polyshares (typically $100K to $2M, any size).

What programmes say moves their figures

None of them publishes a formula. The ones that explain themselves name a short list of factors, and they mostly agree. Each is attributed to the programme that says it.

Headcount

Replay sets its bands by employee count and calls headcount “a proxy” (Replay, checked 18 Oct 2026). Handshake AI sets a floor of 20 full-time employees (Handshake AI, checked 18 Oct 2026); micro1 sets 30 (micro1, checked 18 Oct 2026).

Years of history

Handshake AI wants 3 or more years in operation. Replay's form runs from under 2 to 10+ years, and Troveo's estimator from under 3 to 15+ (Troveo, checked 18 Oct 2026). MIT Technology Review reports that Sunset, a wind-down firm, weighs headcount, years in operation, data volume and tool use (MIT Technology Review, checked 18 Oct 2026).

Completeness and rarity

Turing ties its payout of up to $1M to how complete, rare and well preserved a record is (Turing, checked 18 Oct 2026). micro1 reserves its $2M+ tier for highly unique proprietary data.

Reasoning over volume

Polyshares says value lies in visible reasoning rather than volume, and prices only after seeing a sample (Polyshares, checked 18 Oct 2026).

Tools and depth

Mercor bases payouts on data volume, the tools connected and the depth of the data (Mercor, checked 18 Oct 2026). Replay's form asks about the share of English communication and whether a company owns a codebase.

Region

micro1 puts US companies first; Pewter's estimator rests on a payout model for US firms (Pewter, checked 18 Oct 2026). Figures are in US dollars as published, and no programme prints a separate European range.

About these ranges. They are published to attract companies, not to price a specific one. A written offer follows a sample review. For figures with real money behind them, see the licensing deals database.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

01What payout ranges do AI data programmes publish?

Replay: $10K to $100K (20 to 50 staff), $100K to $1M (50 to 250), $1,000,000+ (250+). Handshake AI: $100K to $4M+. Polyshares: typically $100K to $2M. Grepped: $20K to $5M. Turing: up to $1M in one payment. micro1: tiers from $100K to $2M+.

02Which programmes publish ranges by headcount?

Replay is the only one with explicit bands by employee count. Others set an entry bar instead: Handshake AI 20 full-time staff and 3 years, micro1 30 employees, Pewter 20 employees at US firms.

03Are published ranges offers?

No. Replay's terms say its figures do not constitute an offer, Handshake AI calls its estimate indicative, micro1 says not a quote or binding offer, and Grepped calls its range an estimate.

04Does this page estimate a value itself?

No. It only filters and lines up figures that programmes publish, each with its source. It adds no model of its own and no adjustment.

05Do ranges differ for European companies?

None of the programmes publishes a separate European range. micro1 prioritises the US, then other Western markets, and Pewter's estimator is built on a payout model for US firms.

06What do programmes say moves the figure?

Headcount, years of history, completeness and rarity, visible reasoning rather than volume, and which tools the records come from. Each factor is attributed to the programme that names it below.
