Amazon’s Mechanical Turk halts new customer sign-ups

Amazon’s Mechanical Turk will stop onboarding new customers, signaling a decline in the once-popular crowdsourcing platform.

Starting July 30, 2026, Amazon will cease accepting new customers for its Mechanical Turk service.
Existing users can continue to access the platform, but no new features will be added.
The decision reflects a significant decline in the service’s relevance, with many users already moving away.
