Hub.xyz reviews · checked 26 Oct 2026
Is Hub.xyz legit?
Mostly. Hub is a real, Y Combinator-backed company with a registered company in São Paulo and published rates. But since mid-October 2026 contributors report PIX withdrawals stuck for over a week and frozen accounts, unanswered. The main risk right now is getting paid: October 2026 complaints on Reclame Aqui describe withdrawals pending since October 14 and 15 and accounts frozen for review, and none of its 39 complaints there has a reply.

Hub Data, Inc. is a Delaware company at 1950 University Avenue, East Palo Alto, California, backed by Y Combinator; in Brazil it operates as HUB AGENCIA DE DADOS LTDA (CNPJ 68.362.634/0001-28) on Avenida Brigadeiro Faria Lima in São Paulo. It sells first-person, teleoperation, hand-tracking and touch datasets to robotics labs.
Its facts page (last verified September 12, 2026) sets US$5 per approved hour at home and US$6 at work, up to US$8–9 on boosted tasks, shown in Brazil as R$25, R$30 and R$40–45.

Open to contributors across the Americas, in Hub's own words; its live task feed shows recordings from cities across Brazil.
We found no documented scam using Hub's name as of October 26, 2026. Sign up only through ai.hub.xyz: the kit is free and withdrawals carry no fees, so anyone who asks you to pay for equipment, a code or the release of earnings is not Hub, as the FTC warns.
What people praise
- Hub publishes one dated page with its rates, payout methods, review time (up to 48 hours per recording) and the registered addresses of its US and Brazilian companies.
- The starter kit (head strap and phone mount) is shipped free, withdrawals carry no fees, and every rejected recording comes back with the reason, its facts page says.
What people complain about
- Its Reclame Aqui page (HUB AGENCIA DE DADOS) lists 39 complaints and none answered, and it has no reputation score yet.
- Reviewers there report PIX withdrawals 'em processamento' since October 14 and 15, 2026, with no payment for over a week and promises to fix it that did not hold.
- Others report an account frozen on October 16, 2026 for an 'anti-cheat' review, with earnings and withdrawals suspended, and balances blocked with no reason given.
- A Brazilian App Store reviewer says the account was blocked without a reason after a week of recording, and approved work went unpaid.
What has gone wrong
- October 2026. From mid-October 2026, Brazilian contributors began reporting on Reclame Aqui that PIX withdrawals had sat 'em processamento' since October 14 or 15, that accounts were frozen for an anti-cheat review, and that the payment page went offline for a time. As of October 26, none of these complaints had a reply there.
Best for: Adults in Brazil and elsewhere in the Americas with a compatible phone who want paid filming of chores or of tasks at work, cashed out by PIX. Not for: Anyone who cannot wait for pay: in October 2026 contributors report withdrawals stuck for over a week, and only approved hours count toward what you earn.
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.
