Three programmes accept people in the UK by their own pages, checked 11 Nov 2026: Firsthand's Study 4 is open in the United Kingdom with a published $38 an hour base session rate; Shift runs a separate UK site for recording while you work; and Wake accepts contributors in Europe, from $6 per approved hour. Amelia Chores says it is available in the USA only. EgoVista, micro1 and GoKuna say they are open worldwide.
- Firsthand names the UK and publishes its rate and Net 7 terms.
- Shift has a UK site; its rates load only in a browser, so check them there.
- Wake names Europe, not the UK; Amelia Chores is USA only.
- HMRC says trading income of £1,000 or less a year may not need reporting, with exceptions.
Which apps say they accept the UK?
"Region" means the programme names Europe rather than the UK itself.
How are you paid in the UK, and in which currency?
Firsthand sets its base rate in US dollars and pays on Net 7 terms. Shift's US site pays to a linked bank account; its UK site loads only in a browser, so we could not confirm UK payout terms in plain text. Wake does not state a payout method.
Which apps say they are open worldwide?
These programmes do not name the UK, 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 the UK search for?
These names come up in UK searches.
- Shift UK: a separate site from the US one. Shift's US site says advertised rates are maximums, not guaranteed earnings. Shift review.
- Atlas Capture: open in "most countries" without listing them. Atlas Capture review.
- Amelia Chores: USA only, for now. Amelia Chores review.
What is not stated?
We could not confirm Shift UK's rates or payout method from plain text, because the site loads them only in a browser.
No programme on this page states a pound rate in text we could check; Firsthand and Wake state US dollars.
Do you pay tax on this income?
HMRC says that if your annual gross trading income is £1,000 or less you may not have to tell HMRC, but there are exceptions. Read its guidance; this is not tax advice.
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 the UK 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 the UK, 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.
