Swagbucks is one of the biggest and most popular online reward portals and survey sites with over 20 million users.
So if you are not already a member, there are good chances that you have still heard about Swagbucks before, if you are interested in making money online.
If you are already a member, you might, however, want more chances to earn. Or you might live in a country where Swagbucks does not offer many opportunities.
The good news is that there are plenty of good alternatives to Swagbucks.
So whether you want to find an extra reward site to increase your earnings, or if you want to find alternatives, because you do not have a lot of options on Swagbucks, you have plenty of opportunities.
By joining other sites as well, you will be able to increase your earnings significantly. Therefore, I have made this list of the best reward sites like SwagBucks, so it will be easy for you to find legit and worthwhile alternatives.

Why join other sites than Swagbucks as well?
Above, I have briefly mentioned why it might be worth considering joining other sites than Swagbucks.
Let me first make it clear that I am a fan of Swagbucks, and it is one of my top-rated Get-Paid-To (GPT) sites.
So the reason to find alternatives is not that Swagbucks is not a good site.
If you can join Swagbucks, I definitely recommend that you do (you can read my full review of Swagbucks here and also learn how to get a $5 joining bonus).
But even though Swagbucks is a great site, there are limited opportunities, as there are on any survey or reward site. That is why it, in general, is great to join several sites, if you want to increase your opportunities.
Then by combining the different opportunities on the different portals, you will be able to boost your earnings. Also, if there is a day when one or several of the portals do not have very many opportunities, then you have the others to use that day.
Some people also do not have many opportunities on Swagbucks.
You can join from more or less all countries, but it mostly has really good options in available in the US, Canada, UK, Ireland, Australia, France, Spain, and Germany.
So if you do not live in one of these countries, you should not be discouraged – there are plenty of other good and legit reward sites to join instead.
How much money can you make by joining several reward sites?
Before we get to the list of the best alternatives to Swagbucks, I want to make an important point.
Joining several reward sites can make you some nice money. It will however NOT make you rich, even if you join many sites.
This is important to remember, and if you join a reward site with that expectation, you will be disappointed. That is why I always make sure to make it clear that it is not a way to get rich online.
But it can make you some nice extra money. If you go into it with this attitude, it will be fun, you will enjoy doing the tasks, you will have the necessary patience, and it can then be a great way to make some money.
And also the only way to make money online without any investment or risk at all and where you can start earning right away.
13 Great sites similar to Swagbucks
The list below is a list of reward sites that are similar to SwagBucks. All the sites on this list, are sites I have tested thoroughly myself and they are all legit.
This is not a complete list of survey sites and rewards sites, but a list of the sites that are the most similar to Swagbucks in what they are offering, and as mentioned only sites that are worth joining are on the list.
How many opportunities the different sites give you depends on a number of different things. One of the important aspects is where in the world you live in. Info about which sites are available where is included in the info below:
Payment methods: PayPal, gift cards
Available in: All countries, but most opportunities in US, UK, Australia, Canada
More info: Read full PrizeRebel review
Short summary:
PrizeRebel is one of my absolute favorite rewards and survey sites. It has many ways of earning money. You can do surveys, Figure Eight tasks, take offers, get paid to play games, refer friends, participate in daily challenges, or participate in the frequent free contests.
PrizeRebel also often offers free points through promo codes on their Facebook page, and the more activity you have, the more advantages you will get, as there are different membership levels depending on your earnings.
So PrizeRebel is a great addition to SwagBucks or a good replacement if you live where you cannot join SwagBucks.
As SwagBucks, it offers a big variety of earning methods. Even though it has the most opportunities in the US, the UK, Australia, and Canada, it does not mean that there are no opportunities for other countries.
There are a good number of opportunities in many countries, and if you live in a country where there, for example, are few surveys, then you will probably still have the Figure Eight tasks, which can also be a great way to earn money.
Payment methods: PayPal, gift cards
Available in: All countries
More info: Read full GrabPoints review
Short summary:
GrabPoints is a great alternative to Swagbucks and you can join it no matter where you live. In some countries, it will not have huge opportunities but it will have some in all countries.
It is easy to use and gives fairly high rewards for the earning methods it has. You can, for example, earn by taking surveys, watch, videos, download apps, and more.
You can get your earnings out already when you have earned $3 so it will not take long and it offers payout through PayPal, Skrill, or gift cards.
Payment methods: PayPal, gift cards
Available in: US and Canada
More info: Read full MyPoints review
Short summary:
MyPoints is in many ways very similar to Swagbucks. One of the reasons for this is that it is owned by the same company and when you join, you can see quite a few similarities.
But there are also some differences and especially if you ever shop online, MyPoints has some really great cashback offers. But you can also earn in other ways.
It is only available in Canada and the US, so if you can join this site, you are also eligible to join Swagbucks bit it can still be a great addition as it has different offers.
Payment methods: PayPal, Payoneer, Skrill, gift cards
Available in: All countries
More info: Read full ySense review
Short summary:
ySense used to be called ClixSense but changed its name and it is one of the GPT sites I have had a lot of success with myself.
It does not offer as many ways of earning money as SwagBucks, but it is still a great site with some great opportunities. You can mainly earn money by doing surveys, take offers, or by doing Figure Eight tasks. You can also earn by inviting friends to join or have a certain activity in a day, which will give you a nice bonus.
One of the great aspects of ySense is that everyone can join. There will however not be the same amounts of surveys available in all countries, but there are good chances that you will find some no matter where you are from. If you do not get a lot of surveys, you should consider trying the Figure Eight tasks. ySense is, in my opinion, the best site to take Figure Eight tasks, as you can earn some great bonuses this way.
Like with every other survey and GPT site, you will not qualify for every survey that is available. So if you several times do not qualify, do not give up. Just keep trying and after a while, you will know what kinds of surveys you most often qualify for, and then you just focus on these.
Payment methods:PayPal, Bitcoin, gift cards
Available in: All countries
More information: Read full FeaturePoints review
Short summary:
FeaturePoints is very user-friendly and it also has a great app that makes it possible to earn on the go. It does not offer quite as many options as Swagbucks, but you can, however, join no matter where you live and find earning opportunities from all countries.
You can earn by taking surveys, participate in free contests, download, and test apps, watch videos, and in the US and Canada, you can also find cashback offers.
A really great thing about FeaturePoints is the low payout threshold of only $3 and you can get your earnings out through PayPal, Bitcoin, gift cards, or donate to charity.
Payment methods: Bank transfer, Payeer, Skrill, Bitcoin, AirTM, Neteller
Available in: All countries
More info: Read full TimeBucks review
Short summary:
TimeBucks does not only have a part of the name in common with SwagBucks. It does also offer a lot of different earning methods.
Some are quite unique for a reward portal. You can for example earn money by doing small social media tasks, watch funny online content, take surveys, take offers, read emails, refer friends, and participate in contests and raffles.
It is quite an interesting reward site that offers good opportunities for most countries. If you do not qualify so much for the surveys or offers, they will still be plenty of opportunities. It does in some cases not give as high rewards for surveys as some other sites on this list, but it still has some great opportunities and can be worth checking out.
Payment methods: PayPal, check, gift cards
Available in: United States
More info: Read full InboxDollars review
Short summary:
InboxDollars is not an alternative to Swagbucks in many countries as you can only join if you live in the US. So it should more be seen as a potential addition if you want to join more GPT sites.
InboxDollars has been around for many years just like Swagbucks and also offers several ways to earn. You can take surveys, read emails, take paid offers, play games, surf online, and more.
The downside of InboxDollars is the relatively high payout threshold of $30 that can take a bit of patience to reach. But you get a $5 joining bonus so that is a great headstart.
Payment methods: Check, gift cards
Available in: UK
More info: Read full InboxPounds review
Short summary:
InboxPounds is owned by the same company that runs InboxDollars and is a GPT site that is only available if you live in the UK.
You can take surveys, read emails, take offers, surf the web, and more.
The payout threshold is quite a bit higher than Swagbucks but with some patience, it can still be a great additional GPT site. You can get your earnings out once you have earned £20 and you get a £1 joining bonus just for signing up.
Payment methods: PayPal, Skrill, Bitcoin, Amazon gift cards
Available in: All countries
More info: Read full Superpay.me review
Short summary:
Superpay.me can be a bit confusing to use at first but contrary to Swagbucks it is available in all countries. And if you take the time to get to know how to use it, it has some great qualities.
You can earn by taking surveys, clicking ads, watching videos, participate in a free contest, taking offers, and more.
Superpay.me also has one of the lowest payout thresholds as you can get your earnings out already when you have earned $1 and they pay out very quickly once you have confirmed your account.
Payment methods: PayPal, gift cards, game codes
Available in: All countries
More information: Read full Rewards1 review
Short summary:
If you cannot join Swagbucks because you do not live in one of the countries where it is available, Rewards1 can be a great option. And even if you can join SB, Rewards1 can be an interesting and lesser-known option to check out.
At first, it can be a bit confusing but once you learn to navigate, it gives plenty of ways to earn by taking surveys, taking offers, and doing other online micro-tasks. You also get more advantages the more active you are and you can chat with other members.
Rewards1 has probably the biggest selection of gift cards and game codes I have seen on a GPT site and most of them are available when you have earned $5. You can also get cash through PayPal already when you have earned $5.
Payment methods: PayPal, Bitcoin, gift cards
Available in: All countries (but most opportunities in English-speaking countries)
More info: Read full InstaGC review
Short summary:
In theory, you can join InstaGC no matter where you live. But it gives the most opportunities to English-Speaking countries as well as to some European countries.
You can take surveys, bet on sports games, take offers, watch videos, and more. So with some patience, it can be a great site to earn a bit extra and it gives very fast support if you ever need help.
One of the reasons InstaGC definitely belongs on this list is that is has a very low payout threshold of only $1 and you can choose between many different gift cards, Bitcoin, or cash through PayPal.
Payment methods: PayPal, Vouchers, Amazon Gift Cards
Available in: All countries but most opportunities in US, UK, Spain, and Latin America
More info: Read full Gift Hunter Club review
Short summary:
Gift Hunter Club is a fairly simple site, but easy to use and has a good amount of different opportunities.
You can, of course, earn money by doing surveys, but also earn by watching videos, take offers, invite friends, do Figure Eight tasks, and participate in free contests. Gift Hunter Club also has an official app, so it is easy to use the platform on the go.
This is the only reward site I have seen that particularly offers many possibilities aimed at Spanish-speaking countries. So if you live in Spain or Latin America, you should definitely check out Gift Hunter Club. But you can also benefit from joining from other countries.
Exactly how many opportunities you will get in other parts of the world will be different from country to country. But it can be worth testing in your own country. If you prefer only joining 2-3 reward sites, for now, I would suggest you join the ones above instead, unless you live in a Spanish-speaking country.
Payment methods: PayPal, gift cards
Available in: All countries
More info: Read full Cinchbucks review
Short summary:
Cinchbucks is honestly a bit of an outsider on this list. The reason for this is that it has some really good options but also some not so good options.
The cashback options are really not great but it has many other ways to earn and you can find ways to earn from all countries and this can still make it a great alternative to Swagbucks.
The payout threshold is $10 and you can get your earnings out through PayPal or as gift cards.
As you can see, there are plenty of other sites you can make money on than just SwagBucks. None of them are quite as big as SwagBucks yet, but that does not mean they are not good.
This is of course not a complete list, but these sites are all legit and offer good opportunities, so it is a great place to start. I also regularly update the list and so make sure to bookmark this page and come back and check once in a while for new opportunities.
If you have any comments, questions, or know of a site you think should be on the list, I would love to hear from you in a comment below.
Did not know survey sites are this much. I used to be interested in the ones that paid by paypal, it’s a lot easier and faster these days to get rewards for your efforts.
I was on Swagbucks for a while but the signing in part use to do my head in. The verify you are not a robot thing is really silly as it just made wonder why i was wasting my time there for.
Surveys are not a get rich scheme, for all that time you put into surveying stuff, one can use it on learning a good online business. Any tips?
Thanks for your comment Excelle and thanks for sharing your experience.
No surveys are not a way to get rich. It can make you some nice extra money, but if you are looking for a way to become rich online it will take hard work and patience. You can check out the info I have about Wealthy Affiliate, as that it is a great place to start learning about building an online business, if that is what you are interested in. Just be careful about what you join or pay for, as there are unfortunately many scams out there.
All the best,
Mikael
Theres some really awesome info in here! I use survey sites for flight points but it does take a long time and a lot of patience. I thought using survey sites to earn money would take forever and not be worth it, but it seems by your review that not all survey sites are that way. very cool!
Thanks for your comment Stephanie. It can be a great way to make some extra money on the side, if you join the right sites like for example SwagBucks. But just do not expect it to make you rich, as that is not possible. But can definitely make you some nice extra cash.
All the best,
Mikael
This is very informative. I myself didn’t think that could make any decent money at do surveys. After reading your page i am thinking about looking into swagbucks and see if it is good. Thank you for putting this information up for people that are looking to make extra money. How long have you been on swagbucks?
Thanks for your comment and feedback Heidi. It is definitely possible to make some nice money on surveys – just do not expect it to make your rich or to make a living from it.
I am actually not using SwagBucks myself at the moment, as I recently moved to a country where it is not available. That is also why I am very glad there are plenty of good alternatives to join as well.
All the best,
Mikael
Great article, I have never looked into this option to make some extra money, I might try it. will read your post for SwagBucks, hopefully, I can learn more about this. thanks
Thanks for your feedback Miguel. Glad your liked the info.
SwagBucks is definitely one of the survey sites worth joining, if you live in a country where it is available.
All the best,
Mikael
Love your list. I am totally interested in making some extra bucks on the side and I started looking into legit online survey sites. I have a friend who recommended Paid View Point. I have not done much research on the company yet as I am still looking around for personal reviews of the best online survey site. Are you familiar with Paid View Point? If, yes, I do appreciate your feedback.
Thanks for your feedback Sara.
Yes I know PaidViewpoint. It is a great survey site. The reason it is not on this list is that it is not very similar to SwagBucks, but it is still a site I definitely recommend. You can read my full review on the link just above. It is a very simple site that only offers surveys. Not necessarily very many, but the ones that are there pay well and are short. It is however mainly a site for people living in the US, Canada and the UK, and to some extent Australia. If you do not live in one of these countries, you will not get a lot of offers.
A very unique and amazing aspect of PaidViewpoint is that you will never be offered a survey that you end up not qualifying for. So if you are offered a survey, you will for sure be able to take it and get paid for it. So if you live in one of the countries mentioned, it is definitely a great site to join.
All the best,
Mikael
