Mercor’s single public price signal — the “average contracted rate” advertised on its Experts marketplace — continues to swing sharply. After being relabeled from “average pay” and reset down to $80/hr in late June 2026, the figure climbed back to $122/hr by mid-July, roughly a 52% move in two weeks. Roles created rose to 305.0K and advertised daily payouts to experts ticked up from $3M+ to $4M+.
Separately, the Enterprise page scale banner now advertises a $2B+ revenue run rate, double the $1B+ it showed through June 2026 (valuation $10B, 100k+ contractors hired, and 400+ full-time employees are unchanged).
The buyer-side price — Mercor’s marketplace take-rate or engagement fee — remains undisclosed on every surface (Experts, Data, Enterprise, Partner), each of which still terminates in a “Talk to the team” contact form with no rate card. Individual expert role listings still span roughly $60–$250/hr.
