## The short answer

micro1's data partnerships page lists tiers of $100K+, $500K+ and $1M+, set per deal. Its Enterprise Data Partnership listing says $100K-$2M+ for approved data packages. Both are micro1 describing itself. It publishes no rate card, and I found no company that confirms a payout.

The amount depends on the deal, and [micro1](/buyers/micro1) says so. Here is what it has put on the record, and [how micro1's data partnership works](/guides/micro1-data-partnership) covers the rest of the program.

## What are micro1's three published figures?

- **[Data partnerships page](https://www.micro1.ai/data-partnerships):** $100K or more for qualified enterprise partnerships, $500K or more for large datasets or multi-team participation, and $1M or more for highly unique proprietary operational data.
- **[Enterprise Data Partnership listing](https://www.micro1.ai/company-referral):** "$100K-$2M+" for approved data packages.
- **CFO, in an undated recorded forum talk:** deals near $2 million are real (self-reported, date not stated).

## What sets the amount?

Three micro1 sources name the factors, and none gives a formula. The page ties the tiers to size, multi-team participation and uniqueness.

micro1's David Revland, who works on human data, said in the undated recorded talk that micro1 sends proposed payment terms after the data manifest form, so the number follows your tool list and sizes.

A micro1 referral partner said in a micro1 video that the amount depends on the company's employee count and data sizes (self-reported, about 2:34). That video gives no figures. The [process page](/answers/micro1-data-partnership-process) shows where the proposal sits.

## How does that compare with other reported prices?

[Gizmodo](https://gizmodo.com/failed-companies-are-selling-old-slack-chats-and-email-archives-to-train-ai-2000747916) reported that SimpleClosure's Asset Hub had nearly 100 deals at $10,000 to $100,000 per company.

Google's $10M winning bid for Spirit Airlines' archive in August 2026, pending court approval ([Time](https://time.com/article/2026/08/25/google-spirit-airlines-ai-data-RL/)) is the largest public price we found.

Those are different owners and different data, so none of them predicts your number.

## Is any of it confirmed?

No. I found no company testimonial and no public partner contract for micro1. The [evidence table on micro1](/answers/is-micro1-legit) lists what can be checked and what cannot.

## What should you ask first?

Ask what the payment covers, whether the contract names the AI labs that receive the data, and whether a [top-up](/answers/micro1-data-top-up) is paid separately.

Run the [rights check](/rights-check) first, since the payment assumes you hold the rights. The [deals tracker](/deals) logs public prices as they appear. Talk to a privacy or commercial lawyer in your state before you sign.
