By the people. For the people.
We give back the time the internet has been taking from you — in real money, paid out to real humans doing real work.
For decades, the internet has monetized your attention, your data, and your time — and handed you free apps in exchange. We think the trade was lopsided. So we built a place where the math finally goes the other way: you get paid.
Why we built this
AI companies, advertisers, and market researchers need real human signal — verified people doing real work, answering real questions, providing real ground truth. They pay billions of dollars a year to get it.
Until now, almost none of that money reached the humans whose attention and effort made it possible. It got captured by ad networks, data brokers, and middlemen who never asked your permission and never gave you a cut.
5arz is the simplest version of the fix: pay the people doing the work directly. Verified humans complete tasks. The data flows to companies that need it. The money flows back to you.
That's it. That's the whole product.
What we stand for
A few promises we don't bend on — because they're the whole point.
Real money, no catch
1★ = $1. Cash out through Stripe Connect to your bank — no subscriptions, no fees, no "points" that quietly disappear.
Verified humans only
Every member proves they're a real person via Stripe identity before earning. No bots, no farms, no AI pretending to be people — that's why your work is worth more.
Your data, your call
We never sell your personal info, and never share anything without your per-task consent. You can delete your data anytime — and we mean it.
Fair by design
Refer a friend and you're both rewarded. Your friend can earn more than you do — and that's exactly how it should work.
Open about money
Companies pay us for verified work. We take a slice to keep the lights on. You get paid the rest — and we publish where the money goes.
Built for everyone
Tasks are short, clear, and worth doing. If one isn't worth your time, skip it — no penalty. Your time is yours, and so is your money.
What this looks like today
We started in 2026 with a simple promise: pay our first members for verified work. Here's what's happening on the platform right now.
A real person, on the record
5arz Inc. is a Delaware C-Corporation. I started 5arz because the most important asset on the internet — verified human attention and effort — was the only one nobody was paying its owners for. I wanted to change that. Reach me directly: andre@thatislumi.com.
What we promise you
We won't waste your time. Tasks are short, clear, and worth doing. If a task isn't worth your time, skip it. No penalty.
We won't lock up your money. Cash out the moment you hit the threshold. Your earnings are yours — we never freeze them, gate them behind upsells, or convert them into "rewards" you can't spend.
We won't sell you out. Your name, your email, your phone, your data — those don't get auctioned to the highest bidder. Every consent is explicit, per-use, and revocable.
We won't pretend to be neutral. We're rooting for you. We want this to be worth your while — the more the model works for you, the more it proves the whole idea.
