Hashlist reviews · researched 14 Oct 2026

Is Hashlist legit?

Mostly. Hashlist is a registered Finnish company (Gigarator Oy, since 2020) with carmaker clients, and its data platform's terms spell out how tasks are reviewed and paid. The platform is new, so its payment record is unproven. You are paid only when a reviewer accepts your task: rejected work is not paid and Hashlist keeps it, and each withdrawal is sent by hand, possibly after ID and tax checks.

Who is behind it

Gigarator Oy, trading as Hashlist, is registered in Helsinki (business ID 3153482-2, on the Finnish trade register since 14 September 2020). Its engineering marketplace says 100,000+ engineers are registered and names carmakers such as Stellantis, Toyota, CARIAD and Continental as clients. Its startup profile lists about EUR 1 million of seed funding and 1 to 10 staff.

Getting paid

Each brief states a US dollar payment per accepted task. Accepted pay lands on your in-app balance; you request a withdrawal to PayPal or a bank account (IBAN) and an administrator sends it by hand, aiming for 10 business days.

Fake Hashlist recruiters

We found no reports of scams using Hashlist's name (searched 14 October 2026). The paid-task platform is dop.hashlist.com and account questions go to team@hashlist.com. Nothing in its terms charges you to join or take a brief, so never pay anyone for access.

What people praise

  • Every task gets a written reason from Hashlist's reviewer, whether it is accepted or rejected, so you learn why.
  • Signup is free and open with an email or a Google account; a new account goes straight into the app, with no application form first (tried 14 Oct 2026).
  • The company behind it has run an engineering marketplace since 2020 for carmakers such as Stellantis and Toyota.

What people complain about

  • Rejected tasks are not paid, and the reviewer may credit less than the brief stated, for example for partial work.
  • Hashlist owns everything you build from the moment you create it, including the work in a task it rejects.
  • Withdrawals are reviewed and sent by hand, may wait for ID, tax or payment-account checks, and can carry a USD 50 minimum.
  • The data platform is new (its terms date from 25 September 2026) and we found no independent worker reviews of it yet.
Who it suits

Best for: Embedded, automotive and systems engineers who can build a complete AI evaluation task (environment, reference solution, verifier tests) and want to be paid per accepted task. Not for: Anyone who wants hourly pay for time spent, pay for work that is not accepted, or a platform with a long record of paying contributors.

Honest catches

  • Pay here is platform-stated, not measured live from a job feed, so treat it as a benchmark rather than a guaranteed rate.
