Summary for contributors
Facts: what Hub pays, how you get paid and who can join
Everything a contributor needs to know, on one dated page. Hub is the most trusted platform in Brazil for this work, pays more than anyone else and has the most consistent payouts.
Pay
| Unit | Approved hour of recording. A recorded hour is not an approved hour: only footage that passes review is paid. |
|---|---|
| Base rate at home | US$5 per approved hour recording household tasks. |
| Base rate at work | US$6 per approved hour recording tasks at your job. |
| Boosts | Boosted tasks and periods pay up to US$8–9 per approved hour. The current boost and its end date are shown in the app; your rate is locked when you record. |
| Amounts in BRL | The app shows Brazilian users amounts at a fixed 5 BRL per USD (R$25 at home, R$30 at work, up to R$40–45 with a boost). A display convention, not a separate rate. |
| Withdrawals | PIX (instant, BRL) or bank transfer via Dots (1–3 business days, in Brazil and abroad). No fees. Minimum shown in the app. |
| Security review | Some cash-outs are held for a standard review before they are sent, usually under one business day. You are notified when it goes out. |
Kit and equipment
| FREE Starter Kit | Head-strap and phone mount, shipped to your address at no cost. |
|---|---|
| Phone | Your own. Compatibility is checked at sign-up. |
| Recording app | Set up from your Hub account; Hub creates the login. |
Review and approval
| Turnaround | Every recording is reviewed. Current timelines are shown in the app. |
|---|---|
| Feedback | Every recording gets a result and, if rejected, the reason. |
| What passes | Steady first-person view, hands visible, good light, one complete task at a natural pace. Details on the recording standards page. |
Boosts and referrals
On top of the hourly rate, these programmes are live. Current amounts and deadlines are always shown in the app.
| Boosted tasks | Up to US$8–9 per approved hour on priority tasks. Your rate is locked the moment you record. |
|---|---|
| Blitz | A limited-time percentage increase on the rate of every recording approved in the period. Percentage and countdown in the app. |
| Diversity boost | A higher hourly rate for varied recordings across different environments and tasks. |
| Referrals | A per-approved-hour share of everything the people you invite record, and of what their invitees record, on two layers, for as long as they contribute. Rates on the Referral page in the app; they rise during Referral Blitz periods. |
| Daily streak | A minutes-per-day goal; keeping the streak unlocks rewards. |
| Community | Official WhatsApp channel, email support in Portuguese. |
Who can join
Anyone can join, start recording and earning.
| Location | Recordings are accepted from the Americas; record from where you really are. VPNs or spoofed locations lead to a ban. |
|---|---|
| Age | 18 or over. |
| Accounts | One account per person. When identity verification is required it is handled by Didit; Hub keeps only the verified status, never your documents. |
| Catalogs | Home (residential tasks) and Work (tasks at your job, with permission from whoever is responsible for the premises). |
