Two programmes that pay you to record chores or everyday tasks name India on their own pages, checked 11 Nov 2026: Claru ($5 an hour in US dollars, paid by Wise, Payoneer or a local equivalent) and Firsthand (its Study 4 project is open in India). Loggy3 pays for computer screen recordings in India, with UPI among its withdrawal options. Atlas Capture, Human Archive and Objectways are often searched in India, but their own pages do not invite Indian contributors with a stated rate.

Which apps say they accept India?
These programmes name India on their own pages. Fewer than three chore programmes do, so also see the worldwide list below and the full list.
How are you paid in India, and in which currency?
Claru pays in US dollars by international transfer every two weeks. Firsthand publishes a $38 an hour base session rate and Net 7 payment terms; check the India project page for the camera and tasks.
Loggy3 lists UPI, PayPal, AirTM and Payoneer among its withdrawal options, depending on your country. No programme here states a rupee rate.
Which apps say they are open worldwide?
These programmes do not name India, but say they accept people in any or most countries. Check the app for tasks in your area before you record.
- micro1: its everyday tasks page says it is open to everyone, globally, and pays every two weeks. No home rate is stated. Source: micro1: everyday tasks page, read 11 Nov 2026.
- Firsthand: teams and individuals in any country can apply, with a $38 an hour base session rate and Net 7 payment.
- EgoVista: open worldwide; the rate is shown per mission and paid by bank transfer.
- GoKuna: first-person household clips pay $10 per accepted clip and are open worldwide, paid through Stripe.
- Atlas Capture: sign-up is open in "most countries", but it does not list them, and pay varies by country.
What about the apps people in India search for?
These names come up in Indian searches. Here is what is known.
- Atlas Capture: open in "most countries" by its own account, with pay varying by country; India is not named. Atlas Capture review.
- Human Archive: TechCrunch reported in May 2026 that it pays workers a base rate of $1 an hour. Its own contributor pages do not name India. Human Archive review.
- Objectways: NPR reported that it pays thousands of people to record themselves working, and that one home recorder earns about $120 a month. Its website has no public contributor sign-up page.
- Awign: describes itself as India's largest human operations company and offers robotics data collection to businesses; we found no public rate for workers.
- Instawork Instacore: businesses taking part are compensated for every hour of data captured; this is a business programme. See the programmes that pay businesses, compared.
What is not stated?
No programme on this page states a rupee rate or names UPI for chore recording. Claru and Firsthand pay in US dollars, so the rupee amount depends on exchange rates and transfer fees.
Human Archive, Objectways and Awign do not publish contributor rates on their own sites; the figures above are press reports.
How do you check an app before you record?
A few minutes of checking can save hours of unpaid recording.
- Find the country on the programme's own site or app listing, not in a social media post.
- Read the rate, the currency and whether it is per approved hour, per clip or an "up to" figure.
- Check the payout method and minimum: does it reach your GCash, UPI, PayPal, Wise or bank account, and are there fees?
- Never pay a fee to join, and never share a one-time password (OTP) or PIN.
- Read who owns the footage and whether you can delete it.
- Record one short task first and wait for the first payout before you record many hours.
What we checked (11 November 2026)
On 11 November 2026 we read each programme's own pages in plain text and kept a verbatim quote for every country, rate and payout method on this page. A programme is listed for India only when its own page names the country or a region that contains it. For every other programme, see the full list of apps that pay you to record chores.
Run a crew or own a business?
Some programmes pay a business for footage of the work its team already does, and the owner decides each worker's share. If you run a business in India, check whether your business qualifies and compare the programmes that pay businesses, compared. If your company also keeps records such as job files or work orders, see what your company records are worth.
