Multimango on Outlier: What It Is, Pay and Is It Still Running

The short answer

Multimango is the task tool behind one of Outlier's biggest generalist projects. Contributors used it to judge AI generated images and videos, with no degree needed. The large open phase wound down between late 2025 and early 2026, and many contributors were removed from it. The tool is still used for a smaller Outlier project called Aether, which only invites a limited group. If you are new, you cannot simply sign up for Multimango today.

What Multimango is

Multimango is not a separate company. It is the work environment that opens when you start certain Outlier projects from your Outlier dashboard. The same kind of client work has also run through other vendors, including TELUS, RWS, Mercor, CrowdGen and Workada, so people sometimes see the name outside Outlier too. The tasks were mostly visual judgement. You would pick the better of two AI image edits, judge pictures generated from sketches, draw boxes on screenshots, and rate AI answers to conversations that mix text, images and video. Work came as a continuous queue: you submit one item and the next appears straight away.

What Multimango paid

Contributors reported about $5 to $25 an hour, depending mostly on their country. Pay ran through Outlier's normal weekly payments by PayPal, Airtm or bank transfer, depending on where you live. Some contributors say hours were tracked with a desktop time tracker that also recorded activity, so read the project rules on tracking before you start any similar project.

Is Multimango still running?

Partly. The broad generalist phase that hired thousands of people has ended, and some onboarding documents listed December 2025 as the expected end. Outlier still runs Aether, an image and video evaluation project in the same tool, with a smaller invited group. Projects on Outlier open and close often, so new generalist work does appear in its Marketplace tab from time to time, but there is no public sign up for Multimango itself. Be careful with anyone who offers you a Multimango account or a guaranteed place. Accounts cannot be bought or rented, and doing so gets you banned.
