▍ How it works
Four steps. Zero traps.
Verify your identity, pick a task, earn Stars (1★ = $1). Cash out anytime and direct it however you want — bills, savings, debt, gift cards, hold it. AI research partners pay us for the verified work; you keep what you earn.
Pick a task
Short tasks from AI labs — pick which answer sounds better, label a photo, rate a translation. Average task is about 12 minutes.
Earn Stars (1★ = $1)
Server-checked, identity-verified, fraud-resistant. Stars land in your balance the moment a task verifies. No waiting on someone else's payroll cycle.

B "350°F ≈ 177°C — round to 180°C for most ovens, that's the practical answer."

"Twelve months ago I owed $11,400 and was paying $300 a month watching it not move. Now I'm under $4,000, working ten hours a week, and the math actually works in my direction. This is the first thing in my financial life that didn't feel like a trap."

▍ FAQ
Questions, honestly.
If you don't see your question, email info@5arz.com. We answer within one business day.
Is this a loan?
No. 5arz is a verified-work platform — you complete tasks, we pay you in Stars (1★ = $1), you cash out and use the money however you want. There's no obligation to send us money, ever. We're paying you for your work, not lending you anything.
How fast does the cash actually land in my bank?
Stars hit your balance the moment a task verifies. Cashing out goes through Stripe — usually same-day to your linked bank or debit card, sometimes instant. There's no payroll cycle. Use it however you want: bills, savings, debt, gift cards, hold it.
What if I stop using 5arz?
Nothing bad happens. You earn at your own pace — there's no quota, no monthly fee, and no penalty for taking a break. Your earned Stars stay in your balance, and you can cash out or come back and earn more anytime.
Is there a fee?
No. Joining is free, and there are no fees to earn or to cash out — you keep what you earn (1★ = $1). AI research partners pay us for the tasks you complete, so the member side stays free.
Can I really pay $0 in fees?
Yes. The unit economics work because AI research partners pay us for the tasks you complete. As long as you keep working, your member side stays free. We earn our margin on the partner side.
Does this affect my credit score?
Signing up and earning has no impact on your credit score. The optional debt-snapshot tool runs a soft pull (zero score impact) so you can see what you owe in one place. 5arz itself isn't a credit account and isn't reported to credit bureaus. How any debt you choose to pay down with your earnings reports is between you and your creditor.
What kind of work do members do?
Short tasks from AI labs — comparing two AI answers and picking the better one, labeling photos, rating translations, reviewing content. Average task is 12 minutes. Active members typically complete 5–8 hours per week.
Is 5arz a debt settlement company?
No. 5arz pays you for verified work; what you do with the cash is your call. Traditional debt-settlement companies negotiate with creditors and pay them on your behalf — that requires state debt-settlement / prorater licenses. 5arz does not perform that service. If you cash out and decide to send money to a creditor, you're acting as the payer and 5arz isn't in the loop.
Is this available in my state?
Initial states: Texas, Florida, New York. Additional states roll out through 2026 as licensing completes. Verify your eligibility on the offer page in 90 seconds.
What's a Star?
A Star is a 1:1 USD-pegged credit — 1★ = $1. Each validated task earns Stars equal to your share of the lab payment. Stars settle automatically to your balance, and you cash out anytime via Stripe.
