AI Data Buyer
Eligibility Database

Find the requirements before you fill out the application. Compare company size, data fit and licensing routes across nine buyers and intermediaries.

What the published criteria tell us

3 of 9 reviewed programs publish a numerical company-size criterion. micro1’s linked opportunity lists 30–200 employees; its broader program says 30+. Handshake asks for 20+ full-time employees and three years operating. SourceX’s fit check uses 50+ full-time employees at peak, excluding contractors.

A company-size rule, an operating-history requirement and a calculator setting mean different things. Troveo’s calculator starts at 20 employees, but its reviewed page does not state that as an admission threshold.

These findings are our comparison of the official sources linked in each entry below. A missing public threshold is an information gap, not a promise that every company qualifies.

How this database is researched

Company Data Buyers manually compares official program pages, application pages and public FAQs. Each entry names its sources and review date. The same eligibility record powers the buyer profile, this database and the CSV download, so the criteria stay consistent.

“Published criterion” means a provider states a numerical size requirement or target for the named route. It is not an independently verified acceptance rule. “Not published in reviewed source” means we did not find a numerical threshold on the cited page; private screening may still apply. A country selector, office address or global marketing claim is not treated as proof of eligibility in every country.

Where sources differ, we identify the route: micro1’s 30–200 range belongs to the linked opportunity, while its general program publishes 30+. We do not combine Mercor’s workflow-data program with its separate robotics recording program.

What this resource can—and cannot—answer

Use it to shortlist conversations, not to decide whether you have the right to license a dataset. Listed data categories describe what providers consider; they do not establish acceptance of a particular export. Confirm current country coverage, rights, privacy controls, exclusivity, permitted AI use, fees and payment terms with the proposed counterparty.

Entries are alphabetical. Some application links pay us referral compensation; that does not change the published criteria. Read our commercial disclosure.
