If you want to make some extra money online, taking paid surveys and doing other online micro-tasks is one of the easiest and fastest ways to do this.
And if you live in the United Kingdom, you are lucky. The UK is one of the countries that gives access to the most paid survey sites and Get-Paid-To sites.
But that does not mean all the opportunities are good, and some sites are a complete waste of time.
To make it easy for you to get the most out of this opportunity, I have made a list below of the best survey sites in the UK for 2025 so you know which sites are really worth signing up for.
I have tested all of them and been paid by all of them myself, so I know they are legit, and they actually do pay. And they are all free to sign up for and use.
If you do not live in the UK and have ended up on the page, you can instead check out the list of the best sites in other countries here.

How are the opportunities for online surveys in the UK?
There are A LOT of online survey sites in the UK. In fact, it is one of the countries with the best opportunities in this area.
So, if you want to earn some extra cash this way, you are lucky if you live in the UK.
In addition to offering many paid surveys, many of the sites I will show you on the list below also offer other earning methods.
This can, for example, be by watching videos, playing games, taking offers, doing micro-tasks, getting cashback when shopping online, clicking ads, doing social media tasks, solving captcha, and more.
The sites that offer several different ways to earn are called GPT sites (Get-Paid-To). Again, the UK is one of the countries that give the most of these opportunities.
It can, therefore, be a great idea to also be aware of these other earning methods, as it can really boost your earnings.
The list below will give you an overview of what earning methods each site offers so you can easily find the ones that are the most relevant and interesting for you.
Why a Top 47 list?
The list below is not an exhaustive list of all the paid survey and GPT sites that are available in the UK. There are many more available.
However, there are many sites that are not worth signing up for, as they do not have good opportunities, and you can end up wasting your time – I know from personal experience as I have tested hundreds of sites:-).
Therefore, I have made a list based on quality and limited it to the best survey panels and GPT sites – these are the sites I have found to be absolutely the best paid online survey opportunities in the UK.
However, when I find new panels that actually pay and are worth it, I will add them to the list.
How to use the list to earn the most?
It will be impossible for you to sign up for all the paid survey sites that exist in the UK, and many of them are also not worth it.
But it is a good idea to sign up for several sites to get more earning opportunities and to see which ones fit you the best, and the list below will make it easy for you to get started with the best ones and not waste your time.
So, if you have not done paid surveys before, I would suggest you sign up for 6-8 sites to get started.
If you really want to get as many opportunities as possible, you can also sign up for all of them, but it might then be a bit overwhelming and difficult to get to know all the opportunities in detail and get the most out of the sites.
Once you are familiar with the sites you initially joined and know how to use them to their full potential, then you can start joining more.
So bookmark this site so you can come back and find this list again – it will also continuously be updated, so there will regularly be added new sites, as I keep testing new opportunities for making money on online surveys in the UK.
47 best paid survey sites in the UK
Below, you can get an overview of the best online survey sites in the UK. You can see what payout methods they offer, and what the payout threshold is, and read a summary of what each site offers.
Be aware that even though you live in the UK, the earnings on some of the sites will be in dollars. That is why some of the payout thresholds are mentioned in dollars. However, once you request a payout, you will, of course, get the money in pounds if you choose to get your earnings in cash.
So, let's get started with the list.
sometimes some sights are very strict about quality of surveys..you know that sometimes some survey is very boring and lot of questions. In this time patients is very difficult. for this reason rush answer is very common..so in this situation some website banned account..so please can you give me the list of strict sight and slightly normal strict sight?
You should always be honest and if you rush, use VPN, or try to cheat in any way at all, more or less all sites will detect this at some point and ban you.
Have you experienced getting banned? And what message did you get when getting banned? because there can be several reasons to get banned. As mentioned, the most important is to do everything honestly and then you should not get any problems at all.
everything fine but i mean sometimes maintain quality of answer is so much hard because some survey is so boring.. yes i have banned few times for rush answer..so i want to know can you tell me little bit easy website which is consider rush answer ?
On all sites, you will risk getting banned for rushing through surveys. So I cannot give you names of sites where you can just rusk through without risking to get banned.
You have to understand that the reason we can get paid to take these surveys is because the answers is used for market research. If the answers are rushed and not taken seriously, they will not be able to use it and that is why they do what they can to detect people trying to rush or cheat in any other way.
If you find certain surveys too boring, then just take other surveys instead. So the best solution is to just be selective with the surveys you take. And also, you can read this article about how to take surveys faster but still do it honestly.
Thank you for this list.
For some reason I cannot use ‘Survey time’ but it seems to be a site that is recommended for instant payments. I get a constant error message and the site owner does not bother to respond to emails. It was hard to find the contact email for customer services. I eventually worked out how to delete my account.
‘Valued opinion’ are getting a bad reputation for sending people Amazon gift cards with no code, so the gift card does not work. I have seen people complaining about nearly reaching the payment threshold and suddenly they get no surveys. I know this can happen because it happened to me on ‘Panelbase’. I was doing fine until my fourth payout. Then I stopped getting any surveys. I informed them, then I started getting rejected for every survey.
‘Branded surveys’ seem to be very slow to cash out for many people. I have had people tell me not to use them.
Thanks for sharing your experiences.
About Surveytime, then it definitely is one of the fastest paying sites. But sounds strange with the error. They do, unfortunately, not have very fast support as you have found out. I have been told they are working on improving this. But I would suggest you write them again and keep writing them once per week or so until you get an answer. It is a bit annoying but if you really want to use it, that might be necessary. And I hope their support will then soon improve.
Keep me updated about how it goes.
I have been making a little money on Qmee and Prolific (mainly) and both have slowed down for me. What is another site like Qmee that pays out instantly or has the lowest threshold please?
There are not many sites that pay instantly except for Surveytime. But there are some, where you can very quickly reach the payout threshold. You can see the payout threshold for each platform on the list above but I can highlight a few for you where it will be very easy to reach the threshold.
Superpay.me has a threshold of only $1. PrizeRebel has a threshold of only $5 and that is very easy to reach there. And InstaGC has a threshold of only $1.
So those are the ones where you can likely reach the threshold the fastest. Hope this helps.
Yes thank you for the suggestions.
you are welcome. And just let me know if you have other questions.

You should really replace Honey Gain with Qmee, that fact Qmee isn’t on here at all is surprising as it’s one of my favourite survey sites (top 3). And Honey Gain isn’t even a survey site.
Thanks for sharing your opinion about this.
I will add Qmee next time I update this list. However, personally, I have had some really bad experiences with their support and that is why I cannot put them high on the list as getting good support is very important, in my opinion.
And you are gith Honeygain is not a survey site but it is an easy way to earn a bit extra and therefore wanted to add it to give the option to people that might be interested. Not all options on the list will be for all but that is why I have so many options so no matter your preferences, you will find plenty of free ways to make some extra money on this list.
Life points works very well for me!
Glad to hear that. Thanks for sharing.
