Pricing
One fee on the rewards you post
Tavra charges the buyer, never the worker. Workers keep every cent of the reward. These are Tavra's launch prices, set on November 12, 2026.
01Tavra's fee
The fee by kind of task
| Kind of task | Tavra fee | Minimum |
|---|---|---|
| Most tasks: surveys, labeling, data checking, research, transcription | 20% | $0.75 per order |
| AI evaluation | 25% | $0.75 per order |
| Expert tasks | 30% | $0.75 per order |
| Sensitive content review | 30% | $0.75 per order |
An order is one payment: a single task or a whole batch. The $0.75 minimum applies once per order, not once per task, so a batch of 1,000 tasks at $0.10 pays 20%, not $0.75 on every task.

03Paid options
Options you can add to a batch
Each option is its own line before you pay. Options never change what a worker is paid for a task.
| Option | What it does | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Priority start | A faster start promise, and the batch marked as urgent in the task feed | 5% of rewards, at least $5.00 |
| Top workers | Only workers with a strong record or verified expertise can take the batch | 10% of rewards |
| Targeting | Filters by age range, state, occupation, language and skills, plus screening questions | 5% of rewards |
| Expert review | A qualified reviewer checks results against your rubric | Set per kind of task, shown before you pay |

06Paying
How paying works
- The exact total first
- Rewards, Tavra's fee, any options and any tax appear as separate lines before you pay. The total is what you're charged, to the cent.
- Paid when posted
- A batch opens only when Stripe confirms your payment. Pay by card, by bank transfer, by university purchasing card, or by invoice with your purchase-order number.
- Unused money comes back
- Rewards for tasks nobody completes are refunded automatically to the card or account you paid from. The refund terms at checkout show how the fee on those tasks is handled.
- Late starts refunded
- When Tavra promises a start time and your batch starts later, its fee is refunded.
- Re-runs at no extra fee
- A task whose work is finally rejected under the checks you set reopens for another worker without a new fee.
- No stored balance
- Each batch is paid on its own. There is nothing to pre-load and nothing left sitting in an account.
Wire transfers under $500 carry the bank's $15 wire fee; from $500 Tavra covers it. Card payments that Stripe's risk checks rate as elevated go through 3-D Secure and, where card-network rules and state law allow, carry a 3% surcharge; paying by bank transfer avoids it.
07Questions
Common questions
Do workers pay Tavra a fee?
No. Tavra's fee is charged to buyers, and workers never pay to join or qualify. Standard payouts to workers are free. The one charge a worker can choose is 1.5% for an instant payout, once instant payouts are available.
When am I charged?
When you post a batch. It opens as soon as Stripe confirms the payment. There's no subscription unless you choose a Business plan.
Can a university pay by invoice?
Yes. Tavra issues an invoice with your purchase-order number and bank-transfer details, and the batch opens when the payment arrives. Purchasing cards work like any card.
What if fewer people complete the batch than I paid for?
The rewards for the tasks nobody completed are refunded automatically to the card or account you paid from.
Is there a minimum spend?
No minimum spend. The only minimum is $0.75 on Tavra's fee per order.
