How good are the opportunities to earn on paid surveys in Germany?
Before getting to the best survey panels in Germany, let's first talk a bit about how the opportunities are in Germany to make money online like this.
In general, the opportunities on survey sites and GPT sites (Get-Paid-To) vary a lot from country to country. The biggest countries, in most cases, have the most opportunities. Many smaller countries do, however, also have pretty good opportunities.
The reason the bigger countries often have more opportunities is that there are more people and, therefore, a bigger market that is interesting for companies to pay to get information about – this is what market research is all about.
Getting paid from surveys is only possible because companies are interested in hearing consumers' opinions and using this to improve their services and products.
If you live in Germany and want to make some extra money online by giving your opinion, you are lucky. It is one of the countries that have very good opportunities. Most sites will even offer surveys in German, so it will be easier for you to do them.
Even though there are many opportunities, it is, however, important to choose the right sites to join. Not all sites are worth the time. Some even try to scam you and try to get you to pay to join. But if you join the legit sites that are worth the time, it can be a great way to make some extra money on the side.
How to earn the most?
Be aware that many of the sites I will show you below also give you other ways to earn than just taking surveys. In Germany, you will find many sites where you can earn money by, for example, taking offers, downloading apps, watching videos, participating in free contests, doing social media tasks, and more.
These sites are usually called GPT (Get-Paid-To) sites as they give several ways to earn.
Paid surveys and GPT sites are a great way to make some extra money online in Germany, and you can start earning right away.
But you need to know that no matter how many sites you join, it is not a way to make a full-time income online. I always make sure to mention this, as paid surveys and GPT sites are a great opportunity, but it is not the way to go if you are looking to become rich online because then you will be disappointed.
The sites on the list below are all free to join and to use. To increase your chances of earning, it is a good idea to sign up for several sites. They all have different offers and opportunities, and in combination, it can give you a good amount of opportunities to earn by joining several sites.
In general, I recommend you join 5-7 sites if you have never done paid surveys or used GPT sites before not to get overwhelmed.
After a while, when you have more experience and know-how to get the most out of the different survey panels and GPT sites, you can then join more (so make sure to bookmark this page so you can come back to the list – it is also regularly updated).
So let's go into which sites are the best to join in Germany!

More information: Read full Superpay.me review
Short summary:
Superpay.me is a bit of an outsider on this list. You can join no matter where you live, and Germany is a country where Superpay.me has a pretty good amount of opportunities. The reason it is a bit of an outsider is that it can be quite confusing to use, and you have to be a bit patient to find the available surveys and offers.
To balance that out, it does however have a good amount of daily opportunities and one of the lowest payout threshold I have seen on survey and GPT sites. You can get paid through PayPal as soon as you have earned $1, so in most cases, you can make more than enough to withdraw the same day as you join. You can also get paid through Skrill, Bitcoins, or Amazon gift cards. With a bit of patience, it can be an interesting site to check out.
Payout methods: PayPal, GCodes

More information: Read full Opinion Outpost review
Short summary:
Opinion Outpost has its own survey panel for Germany – here it is called MeinungsOrt. The main way to earn is by taking online surveys, but it has a good amount and is definitely a legit site worth considering.
The paid surveys are the only way to earn on MeinungsOrt but it gives you access to a decent number of surveys. You just have to sign up and then keep an eye on the survey invitation you will get via email. But it can also be a good idea to log in to the site to check for opportunities once in a while.

Short summary:
Mobrog is another easy-to-use survey site with a site specifically for Germany and surveys in German. In addition to taking surveys, you can once in a while participate in free contests, and you can earn a bit extra by inviting friends to join the platform.
It usually offers several surveys a week, but you will not get surveys every day, so good to also join other survey panels on this list, as you will not have enough opportunities, if Mobrog is the only site you join. But it is very easy to use, and also has a great app that makes it even easier, so still a site worth considering to join.
Payout methods: PayPal

More information: Read full GreenPanthera review
Short summary:
Green Panthera has a decent amount of paid surveys for Germany. Furthermore, it has different online offers you can take like for example downloading apps and signing up for free trials and earn some extra money this way.
It is not the most user-friendly survey panel to join, as you will probably be send emails to a lot of surveys you will end up not qualifying for. It is normal not qualifying for all surveys on survey sites, but on Green Panthera it happens more often than on other sites in my experience. Luckily it does not take long to find out if you qualify or not.
You can only get paid through PayPal, but in my opinion this is the best and easiest reward method anyways. It can be a site worth joining, and you can make some extra money here – you just have to be a little patient and accept that there might be many surveys you will not qualify for and accept that the payout threshold is a bit high, as you have to earn $30 to get paid.
Payout methods: PayPal, gift cards
Payout threshold: $5
More information: Read full Panel Station review
Short summary:
The Panel Station is only offering paid surveys as a way to earn, and it has a specific panel just for Germany, with a decent amount of surveys.

It is a great site to join in Germany because it is so easy to use, but you should not join it as the only site, as you will then not get many earning opportunities.
So that was it – a list of the best paid survey sites and GPT sites in Germany. As mentioned earlier, it can be a good idea to join several sites to increase your chances of earning, and at the same time, you will also be able to test more sites and find the type of sites that suits you the best.
Also, remember that many of the sites offer several other ways to earn. Using some of these other methods can be a great way to boost your earnings.
