License your company's data to AI — you keep ownership
To license your company's data to AI, you grant a buyer defined use of a copy of your operating records — email, chat, CRM and project history — for a term and a fee, while ownership stays with you. Published ranges are each buyer's own figures, checked on the date shown. They are not an offer, quote, valuation, or guarantee of payment. AIData.Broker's compilation of public figures puts the median published offer at about $280,000 per company and the median public sale at about $31,600 — most companies should expect an actual offer, if any, only after a buyer reviews a metadata-only manifest, and it may be below published ranges or none at all.

Why “license” is the word that matters
Owners who search “sell my data” are usually offered exactly one buyer's single price for what is described as a sale. The published programmes in this market are licences: micro1's tiers run $100,000 to over $3 million, Mercor lists $20,000 to $1.5 million by industry, and both are structured so the company keeps its data (checked November 2026). The distinction decides whether you can license again, what happens when the term ends, and what exclusivity costs. Start with license vs sale.
The three terms that decide your deal
| Term | Short version | Full page |
|---|---|---|
| Term vs perpetual | A fixed term ends; perpetual does not | Term vs perpetual |
| Exclusive vs non-exclusive | Exclusivity pays more and locks the records up | Exclusivity explained |
| Rights & de-identification | What you may license, and what must be removed first | Rights checklist |
Who this fits — and who it doesn't
- U.S. company, 20+ employees, 3+ years in business
- Work recorded in 5+ systems (email, Slack/Teams, Drive, CRM, support, QuickBooks or similar)
- You own the records and can speak for the company
- Customer or client data you hold for someone else — buyers do not want it and you usually cannot license it
- Health records, privileged legal material, or records under a confidentiality bar without sign-off
- Anyone promising you a specific payout before a buyer reviews a manifest — that promise is not how this market works
Frequently asked questions
Is it a licence or a sale when AI companies pay for my data?
A licence, in almost every published programme. You keep ownership of your records and grant defined use — training scope, a term, sometimes exclusivity — for a fee. micro1 states companies keep ownership of their underlying data. A licence you can end or re-license is the default this site explains; anyone proposing you “sell” your records outright should be asked why.
How much do AI companies pay to license company data?
AI buyers publish ranges from $20,000 to over $3 million per company (micro1 and Mercor, checked November 2026). Most completed sales are far below the ceilings: the median public sale tracked by AIData.Broker is about $31,600. Your figure, if any, comes as a written offer after buyers review a metadata-only manifest.
Do I have to send my data to get an estimate?
No. The process starts with a fit check and a metadata-only manifest — systems, years and record counts. Raw records are not shared for an initial estimate, and de-identified data moves only after you sign a licence directly with a buyer.
Who can license their company data to AI?
Companies that hold the rights to their records, can remove personal data they cannot share, and meet buyer floors — most published programmes start at 20+ employees and 3+ years of records. Client data you hold for someone else, privileged material and health records are the usual exclusions.
Is this legal advice?
No. This site explains licensing terms in general terms so owners can have a better conversation with their own counsel. Whether your company can license specific records depends on your contracts, privacy notices and sector rules — have a lawyer review any licence before you sign it.
Who runs this site?
LicenseMyDataToAI.com helps U.S. companies with 20+ employees license their operating records — email, chat, CRM and project data — to AI labs and training-data buyers.
