Why I made a Top 10 list
After having seen my list of the best survey sites, I just want to clarify how I have made this list as there are so many to choose from.
I have tested all the sites thoroughly myself, and not only tested the sites on the top 10 list. I have tested MANY more sites, and I am continuously testing new ones. You can find reviews of all the sites I have tested on this website.
I decided to make a list of the best sites to make it easy for you to get started with getting paid from online surveys, by showing which sites, I have found to be the best and why.
I will, however, recommend that you also read the reviews of the survey sites, as I have a lot of advice and tips for the different sites in these reviews. By reading them, you will get more information, and it will be easier for you to choose the sites that are right for you – the ones that are the best for me, might not necessarily be the best for you.
There can be certain things that make a survey site very good in for example one country, but not very attractive in another. I have done my best to put this kind of information in the reviews and in the descriptions of the survey sites.
The list above is a list of the overall best survey sites. One thing that is very important to understand is that the exact sites that are best for you depend a lot on the country you live in. That is why I have also created lists with the best sites for specific countries you can check out to find the ones that are best in YOUR specific country.
How do I decide what sites make it to the top 10?
You might be wondering how I made a Top 10 when there are hundreds of survey sites out there. I must admit that I have not been able to test every single survey site there is, but I have tested a lot, and I will continue to test as many as possible. I will therefore also continuously update the list above.
When testing survey sites, I look at how much money it is possible to make in relation to the time spent, how often they have available surveys, how easy it is to use, how do they pay (PayPal, vouchers, gifts, etc.) and more. The ratings above are given based on these parameters when I compare a certain site to survey sites in general. All this put together leads to my Top 10.
Some sites, I have also decided not even to try to sign up for now, as they are easy to spot as being a scam. Some of these you will be able to find scam warnings about in the review section.
There are for example sites that want you to pay a large amount of money to get access to surveys (in general I would advice not to join a site that charges you for access to surveys). I have written an general article about how you can avoid these survey scams, so you know what to consider before joining a survey site, and how to spot the ones that you should stay away from.
If you have other experiences, disagree or agree with the list, please feel free to leave a comment below. Would be great to hear about your experiences as well.
Also, if you have any suggestions for a site you think belongs on the list and have a suggestion for a site you would like me to review or ask for my opinion about, feel free to leave a comment below, and I will get back to you asap.
Dear Mikael,
Good day, I really like your report and please keep me on your mailing list.
Thanks & regards,
S Hamde Mohd

Am in Uganda which survey site or gpt pay through airtm or bank account, and please just tell us the gtp or survey site you use, it will help a lot of questions I have
You can check out this list of the best international sites. These are the ones you should go for in Uganda. And on that list you can see exactly which payout options each of the platforms use.
I am using all of the platforms I recommend – the ones I do not find worth it, are the ones I mention in my reviews I do not really recommend.
Hello,
I am in Ghana and will like to know what the best paid survey sites are for Ghana.
You can check out the best international sites here.
But you will honestly not find a lot of surveys in Ghana so make sure to also use some of the other earning methods many of the sites offer.
Hi Mikael, How are you dear? Hope you’re doing well.
Thank you for your knowledge and experience sharing. I’m a big fan. THANKS
I’m from Iran, and the economic situation is terrible here.
It’s difficult for us even to build and live a simple life.
Could you please find a way that helps me to earn some money online?
Pay Pal is not available here and I want to earn some money.
I’ve already read Top 10 Paying Survey Sites for 2021 (Other Countries), and there is no survey for Iran.
I will be very grateful if you find a way for me to earn online.
Again thank you for the reviews.
Best Regards
Mahdi
Thanks for your messages. Glad you like my content.
There will not be a lot of surveys available in Iran. But there are many sites that then also offer other free ways to earn. I have a list of the best international sites you can check out here.
Hope that helps.
Thanks for the early reply
But most of the sites from this list ”https://paidfromsurveys.com/best-international-survey-sites” don’t work with Iran and even if they work we can’t verify our accounts and take out the money because we need a valuable driver license or passport and the Iranian ones are not valuable for them to verify.
So if you please find some sites that are worth our time and pays in bitcoin and don’t need any verification with passport or D. license please do tell.
Again thank you
Most sites will need some kind of verification as they need that to avoid fraud.
But you can check out this list of the best sites that pay in Bitcoin and see if any of those sites will work for you.

You will be able to join some of those from Syria. But be aware that there will not be many surveys for Syria so you have to make sure to use some of the other earnings methods many of the sites offer.
