The published range
$10,000 to $1,000,000+, which Scale calls illustrative. That $10,000 bottom is the lowest published starting point of any large buyer, so Scale is worth checking for companies other buyers would turn away on size, even though it says it prefers 40 or more employees.
What Scale buys
- Data warehouses
- Slack and Teams history
- Documents
- Jira and Notion
- Salesforce and HubSpot
That list is broader than most buyers publish. If your records live in a warehouse or a CRM rather than email, Scale is one of the few that names them.
Before you apply anywhere, check your fit with every buyer first. Once you apply to one buyer you are in its process. Our estimate takes about a minute, never asks for a file, and tells you which buyers your company fits. It costs nothing. See which buyers fit your company.
How the handover works
Scale says the records are anonymized inside your environment before extraction, and that you approve each package before it leaves. It also says partnerships can be recurring, so a company that keeps generating records can be paid more than once. Ask for the per-package approval and the recurring terms in writing.

Questions owners ask.
Is Scale AI's $10K to $1M range real?
Scale calls it illustrative on its own page. It is the published range, not an offer. The number for your company comes after Scale reviews what you have.
Does Scale AI take companies under 40 people?
Scale says it prefers 40 or more. Its $10K floor suggests it does smaller deals. Mode and Handshake publish lower hard minimums.
Does Scale AI pay more than once?
Scale says recurring revenue is possible for partnerships that keep producing records. Replay publishes an upfront payment plus a perpetual revenue share.
Does my data leave my systems before I approve?
Scale says anonymization happens inside your environment and you approve each package before extraction.
