In most cases yes, peer reviewers are not paid. These companies are pretty much a paywalled pdf hosting service hence the outrage against them.

- mattkrause 6y agoI can't actually think of anyone who has been paid for a review in the sciences. The most I've personally gotten was a nice note from an editor; I've heard rumors of someone who reviewed enough to get some journal-branded swag (a mug or calendar, I think). If you review a book, you might get to keep the copy. Nobody gets cash.
- Fomite 6y agoI've been compensated for one review, and for peer-reviewing a book proposal, gotten some free books. That is, in fairness, three instances over what is by now probably well over 100 reviews.
