If you are looking for easy ways to earn some extra cash, nothing beats reward apps, as it is the fastest way to start earning some extra income.
You can earn extra cash anytime and anywhere. As long as you have a good data plan (which most people should have nowadays), you're all set.
All you have to invest is a bit of your time and some effort, and you are well on your way to earning a nice side income.
However, there are numerous reward apps available, and the main issue is identifying which ones are the best and actually pay.
This is where this guide will come in handy. I have tested hundreds of free online earning methods, and in this guide, you will learn about the best reward apps you can use so you don’t have to try out every reward app you can find.
This will save you a lot of time when determining which apps to download.
All the apps I will include in this guide are legit and free to join. I have been paid by all of them myself. Again, as I’ve mentioned, all you have to invest is a bit of your time and effort.

How are the opportunities to earn from reward apps?
To put it simply, the opportunities from reward apps are pretty good, provided, of course, you use the legit and most effective apps.
The thing with reward apps is that they each offer different earning opportunities.
If it is your first time using these kinds of apps, then let me tell you what to expect. There are usually two types of reward apps you will encounter. The first one is a survey app. These are usually more straightforward apps since all you have to do to earn is answer surveys.
The other type is called GPT (Get-Paid-To) apps, and this is a bit more complicated than a survey app (but still very easy to use). The reason why I say this is that GPT apps usually offer multiple earning opportunities.
You can typically earn from these apps by answering surveys and quizzes, downloading mobile apps, playing games, watching videos, clicking ads, and more.
While it isn’t hard to figure out how to earn from these apps, it takes a bit of familiarization to maximize your time. Both types of apps have their advantages and disadvantages, and the ones you should go for will depend entirely on your preference.
My suggestion is that if you don’t have a lot of extra time, you should go for survey apps. But if you have a decent amount of free time, GPT apps or even a mix of both will be the best.
How to earn the most?
Seeing as each app offers different earning opportunities, you can’t expect to earn the same amount from each app. But there are a couple of things you can do to maximize your earnings from these apps.
The first thing is that I recommend you join around 5 to 7 apps. When you do this, you will gain access to more earning opportunities, which in turn will also increase your earnings. Later on, if you feel like you can handle more, then you can always download more apps.
Another way to maximize your earnings is to take advantage of all the earning opportunities each app offers. For example, a survey app typically also features a referral program that allows you to earn bonus rewards.
So, aside from answering surveys, you can also participate in their referral program to earn more. For GPT apps, you have to learn to prioritize which opportunities to go for if you are strapped for time. But if you have quite a bit of time, then just work on every opportunity available.
These are the best ways to maximize your earnings from each reward app.
25 best reward apps that actually pay
It is important to remember that the list below is not a full list of apps that pay. They are, instead, the best apps I have personally tested, and I think they are worth downloading.
I will be including a summary of what each can do so you can easily identify which apps suit you best.
I will keep updating this list, so make sure to bookmark this page and check back from time to time for new opportunities.
I am using a gpt app called earn star now the min cash out is £50/$68.50 could you test this/re-review it you earn via games and surveys
I have a full review of EarnStar here.
But that has a low payout threshold of only $5, so not sure if you are using a fake app that is just using the same name?
I live in Ethiopia
which survey is the best to do?
I prefer direct bank transfer method.
I have a list of sites that pay via bank transfer here.
But, to be honest, very few platforms will offer bank transfer in your country, so it might be a good idea for you to consider other payout options also.
Earn star sucks now. When trying to cash out it says technical error and customer service doesn’t reply back to you. Top surveys and Earn star is the same company. Both apps are trash now
Thanks for sharing your experiences. I have not had any issues.
Hopefully their support will soon get back to you. How long have you waited for a reply? And have you used VPN or anything like that?
Two months and no reply. I don’t use vpn
That is definitely a long time to wait. Usually, they reply very quickly. Did you try to write them again?
My friend, can you tell us which app requires identity verification and which app does not?
More or less all free earning platforms will ask for verification before they pay you. They have to do this to avoid fraud. So if you do not want to verify your identity, you should honestly not expect to be able to earn from these platforms.
It really helped me brought a new 5 g samsung phone of midrange with doing survey for 3 years as a student

You can check out this list of the best international sites which are the ones you should go for.
I’ve tried top 1 i.e, in my country, it’s prime opinion. I registered in the platform like 4 months ago, that would be somewhere around in November but surveys availability was very less and even if I got one, most of the time, I didn’t qualify for it so it made me frustrated so I stopped using it from February. Even tried, other top platforms like toluna, swagbucks, ysense, karma, freecash and other sites.. the results were same.
Could you recommend me platforms which pays decent for doing other tasks rather than surveys as surveys are mostly inconsistent.
There’s an exception here which is lifepoints – this site was incredibly good, even though, I was getting few surveys per week like alternative days but 90% of them I got qualified which I liked and got paid twice that is around 6$, which is decent amount for me as others were not even giving me surveys.
P.S: I tried, replying this in your YouTube video but don’t know why it was getting deleted so I thought to do it here.
Which country do you live in?
And about your YouTube comment then be aware that I need to approve comments before they how up, so that might be the case. But sometimes the comment system is also buggy and it deletes comments automatically which can be very frustrating.
