About money-making apps

They suit students, commuters and anyone filling idle minutes who wants a little spending money rather than a wage. No special skills are needed, and rewards arrive through a payment app, store credit or a gift card code once a balance threshold is reached. Game and video apps pay slowly but ask for almost no attention; survey and task apps pay better per minute but need real concentration; receipt apps depend on how often you shop. Payout minimums, cash-out options and the amount of personal data collected vary widely and matter more than headline rates.

What to look for

  • Check which payout methods are offered and whether the balance can be withdrawn as cash or only as store credit or gift cards.
  • Look at the minimum balance required before a withdrawal is allowed, since a high threshold can lock rewards away for a long time.
  • Consider how rewards are earned and whether the tasks are surveys, games, videos or receipts, because that decides how much attention the app demands.
  • Review what personal information the app requests and how it is used, since survey and receipt apps often collect demographic and purchase data.
  • Weigh the ads and the time each task takes against the reward, because a low payout per minute rarely justifies long sessions.

How we rank

Apps are ranked by their Google Play rating (weighted by how many people rated them), their number of installs, how recently they were updated and how closely they fit the category. Only apps we've reviewed are included.
