micro1's enterprise data partnership, for sellers
micro1 ranks first in our seller ranking. It states $100K-$2M+ per data package, has committed $1B over 12 months to buying company data, and lets the seller keep ownership. Its terms say personal data is removed "when relevant", the vaguest wording it publishes; its partnership page says sensitive information is scrubbed before any downstream use.1,2,3,4
Meta removed some micro1 ads in September and October 2026 for not following its Advertising Standards; what they said is not shown.5

Who qualifies
Who micro1 takes
micro1's partnership page says 30 to 200 employees; its referral page says 30+, US first and mostly English data. It is unclear whether firms above 200 are excluded, so ask. It names technology, BPOs and recruiting firms, financial services, consulting, professional services, legal and compliance, healthcare administration, and logistics and operations.6,7,8
It asks for internal docs, SOPs and playbooks, knowledge bases, project management workflows, internal comms, templates, CRM and workflow metadata, and task histories, and says it looks for well defined workflows that employees execute repeatedly.9,10

Its ads
How micro1's ads reach owners
micro1 advertises the program on Facebook and Instagram, and the ads open a lead form inside Facebook rather than a micro1 page. One set, from 2026-10-04, says "Answer 5 questions and find out how much your company data is worth" and that companies are earning $100K-$2M+. Another, which ran 2026-10-09 to 10-14, asks owners of closed companies whether their previous company's data could be worth up to $2M, for US firms that had 25+ employees at their peak.18,19
Meta removed micro1 ads that ran 2026-09-09 to 09-12 and 2026-10-04 to 10-08 for not following its Advertising Standards. Meta does not show what those ads said. The 25+ figure for closed companies appears only in the ads; micro1's own pages say 30+.5,19,20
The contract
What micro1's published license says
micro1 publishes its seller contract, the Data License Master Terms, last updated 2026-10-07. It grants micro1 a nonexclusive, irrevocable, perpetual license it can sublicense. micro1 deletes the data within 120 days of final delivery, but models already trained on it are not deleted. It has 30 business days to reject a delivery; you invoice after it accepts in writing, or once those 30 days pass without a rejection.21,22
Its partnership page adds that some datasets may get synthetic rewrites that reduce direct ties to the original records. Its estimator asks six things: employees, years of data, headquarters, number of business entities, share of data in English, and whether any of it is regulated or sensitive.23,24
Against the others
How micro1 compares for a seller
micro1 publishes a price but no payment timeline. Mercor is the reverse: no price, but a wire 2-4 weeks after signing. Polyshares publishes both, an offer 1-2 weeks after intake and Net 30-60 payment, and is more specific on personal data: it says a third-party partner scrubs data before licensing, where micro1 says PII is removed when relevant.1,25,26,27,28,4
