Frequently asked questions

Straight answers on licensing your company's data to AI — ownership, published pay ranges and their medians, fit floors, rights, and the process. Nothing here is legal advice or a payout promise.

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.
