Updated: 2026-11-08

The best places to sell company data to AI in 2027 are Sell My Data To AI, micro1, Mercor, Polyshares and Endless Data, followed by Appen, Scale AI, Labelbox Prism and AfterQuery. Published ranges run from $10,000 at Scale AI to more than $3 million at micro1. Size thresholds, exclusivity and payment timing differ more than the headline figures.

## Key takeaways

- micro1 is best for established companies with 30 or more staff.
- 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.
- Sell My Data To AI wrote this list and ranks itself first. The method section explains the criteria.
- Every entry's facts come from the company's own published terms, checked November 2026.

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](https://sellmydatatoai.net/guides/what-data-do-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](https://sellmydatatoai.net/ai-data-price-index) tracks these figures, and a [data valuation](https://sellmydatatoai.net/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, while Appen and AfterQuery publish no exclusivity terms. Read our guide to [exclusive and non-exclusive data licenses](https://sellmydatatoai.net/guides/exclusive-vs-non-exclusive-data-licenses) before you compare offers.

US privacy law decides what can go into any package. The CCPA treats handing personal information to another business for value as a sale unless it is de-identified to the Act's standard, and the FTC warned in February 2024 that quietly changing privacy terms to allow AI training may be unfair or deceptive. Our [CCPA, state privacy laws and GDPR guide](https://sellmydatatoai.net/guides/gdpr-and-selling-data-for-ai-training) covers the detail.

## How we ranked them

## 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](https://sellmydatatoai.net/data-buyers), 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](https://sellmydatatoai.net/fees) and [how we vet](https://sellmydatatoai.net/how-we-vet) pages so you can compare them line by line.

## Frequently asked questions

### How much do AI companies pay for company data?

Published ranges vary widely. micro1 publishes $100,000 to more than $3 million, Scale AI gives an illustrative $10,000 to more than $1 million per partnership, Labelbox Prism publishes around $50,000 to more than $1 million, and Polyshares says typical deals run $100,000 to $2 million and above. These are published ranges, not offers, and the final figure depends on volume, years of history and rights.

### What size of company can sell data to AI?

Thresholds differ by buyer. micro1 asks for 30 or more full-time staff, Endless Data roughly 30 or more and Scale AI prefers 40 or more employees, assessed case by case. Polyshares sets no headcount minimum, and AfterQuery sets no numeric minimum but prefers established companies with several teams, several systems and a few years of history. Smaller companies can still find a buyer.

### Should I accept an exclusive license for my company data?

Only if the price reflects what you give up. Polyshares' four published licenses are all perpetual and exclusive, and Labelbox Prism makes licenses exclusive by default. Endless Data uses a non-exclusive license, and Appen and AfterQuery publish no exclusivity terms, so ask. An exclusive license stops you licensing the same records again, so compare offers and take independent advice before you sign.

### How quickly do AI data buyers pay?

Stated timing runs from a few weeks to about two months. Labelbox Prism says first call to first wire takes under 21 days, Mercor typically pays within 2 to 4 weeks of the signed agreement and Appen pays on acceptance of the data, without a number of days. Polyshares pays net 30 to 60 days, and micro1's FAQ describes a review and invoice cycle that adds up to about 60 days.
