- Mercor is best for companies on mainstream cloud tools that want extraction handled.
- Polyshares is best for owners who want one fixed payment and no fees.

AI companies now pay operating businesses for the records they produce every day: support tickets, CRM history, SOPs, internal chat and engineering documentation. Our guide to what data AI companies buy lists the record types in demand.
Published ranges are wide. micro1 publishes $100,000 to more than $3 million, Scale AI gives an illustrative $10,000 to more than $1 million, and Polyshares says typical deals run $100,000 to $2 million and above. Our AI data price index tracks these figures, and a data valuation shows where your records are likely to sit.
The terms behind the headline matter as much as the price. Polyshares' published licenses are perpetual and exclusive, Labelbox Prism is exclusive by default and Endless Data is non-exclusive. Read our guide to exclusive and non-exclusive data licenses before you compare offers.

How we ranked this list
Sell My Data To AI wrote this list and ranks itself first. We are a broker with a commercial interest in the result, and some companies below offer a service similar to ours. Read the order with that in mind.
For this list we gave extra weight to buyers and agents that take operational records from established businesses and publish a payout range, a size requirement or a payment timeline on their own pages.
| Criterion | What we checked |
|---|---|
| Fit for the data type | Whether the company names this kind of record in its own published brief |
| Published terms | Whether payouts, size requirements and license terms appear on the company's own pages |
| Vetting | What checks the company says it runs on sellers, buyers or datasets before a sample changes hands |
| Exclusivity | Whether licenses are exclusive, non-exclusive or perpetual, and whether that is published |
| Fees | Whether the seller pays a fee or commission, and whether the rate is published |
| Payment timing | When sellers are paid, as stated by the company |
| Transparency | How much of the above you can confirm before a first call |
Every fact about another company comes from our profile of it in the data buyers directory, checked on that company's own pages in November 2026. Where a term is missing we write "Not published" rather than guess. After first place, the order reflects fit for a company selling or licensing its data, not a quality score, and we do not rate any company negatively.
We rank Sell My Data To AI first because this is our list and our service is built for this reader, not because we scored ourselves against the others. We are independent of the buyers we work with, and our terms are on our fees and how we vet pages so you can compare them line by line.
