Figure Index reviews · checked 28 Oct 2026

Is Figure Index legit?

Yes. Index is Figure AI's own app, published by Figure AI Inc., and Figure says it has paid creators $35M. But no per-minute rate is public, new sign-ups join a waitlist, and we found no creator describing their own pay. The main risk is not knowing what you will earn: Figure publishes no per-minute rate, payout method or creator terms before you are accepted, and you film inside your home for a dataset that trains Figure's robots.

Fake Figure Index recruiters

We found no documented scam using the Index name as of October 28, 2026. Install it only from the App Store or Google Play listing published by Figure AI Inc.; Figure sends the recording device to accepted creators, so anyone charging for a device, a code or a spot off the waitlist is not Figure, as the FTC warns.

What people praise

  • Its Google Play listing is published by Figure AI Inc. under its own name, with its San Jose address and a support address, index-app@figure.ai.
  • Figure says accepted creators are sent a recording device and paid by the minute while they do their everyday tasks; it mentions no fee to join.
  • Figure reported in September 2026 that Index footage raised its robot's success in 30 unseen homes from 9% to 56%, so the recordings are used as described.

What people complain about

  • No per-minute rate or creator agreement is public. The only terms on figure.ai are its website terms, last updated February 1, 2023.
  • Sign-up is a waitlist: its listing says demand is very high, and a US App Store reviewer was still waiting on August 31, 2026.
  • A Canadian App Store reviewer (August 2026) said Canada was missing from the country list at sign-up.
  • Figure's privacy policy covers "sensory data" such as photos, videos or recordings of you and of your environment, so your home is part of what you hand over.
Who it suits

Best for: Adults 18 and over in a country Index accepts who do chores at home anyway, want to be paid by the minute, and can wait for a spot. Not for: Anyone who needs to know the rate before filming, anyone uneasy about recording inside their home, and anyone under 18.

Honest catches

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