I have been a ClickWorker member for several years and tested its surveys, micro tasks and support myself. It is legit, but how much work you get depends on where you live. Below is how it works, what it pays, and which sites I recommend instead.
Legit micro tasks, but limited work in many countries
Surveys, micro tasks and UHRS tasks, paid in euros. Rewards vary a lot, and support is slow.

The short answer
ClickWorker is legit. It is a micro jobs website that pays you for small online tasks, and you can potentially earn as a member.
But job offers are limited depending on your location, and the rewards for tasks are not consistent. Its support is slow and, in my experience, not very helpful. It can be a decent secondary site to earn a bit of income, not a way to make a living.
- Decent payment threshold
- Good payout options: PayPal, SEPA and Payoneer
- A mobile app for Android and iOS, with offline work
- Assessments that unlock more jobs
- Access to extra tasks through UHRS
- Job offers are limited depending on your location
- Inconsistent reward rate for tasks
- A bit hard to qualify for more jobs
- Support can be slow and not very helpful
- Everything is paid in euros
My experience with ClickWorker
I have been a ClickWorker member for several years. This is what I did myself, and what I did not test.
- Member for
- Several yearsReview first published Jun 12, 2019
- Latest retest
- Checked: tasks, payout options, support
- Support contacts
- A few timesSlow, but I got an answer every time
- Payout
- Not reachedI tried to earn, but I did not reach the payout threshold.
- Registration and the profile you complete before you get tasks
- The paid surveys and micro tasks in the dashboard
- The Assessments section
- The steps to connect to UHRS
- The ClickWorker support, a few times
- Offers and promotions. None were available in my area.
- A payout. I tried to earn, but I did not reach the payout threshold, so my review does not show a payment from ClickWorker.
My ClickWorker video
I made a video that shows exactly how you can earn on ClickWorker, so you can see if it is for you. ClickWorker does not allow task names or rewards to be shown to non-members, so some info in my screenshots is blocked out.

Is ClickWorker legit and safe?
Yes, ClickWorker is legit, and you can potentially earn as a member. But that does not mean it is worth your time. Here is what you should know before you join.
- Job offers depend on your location
I have heard from members in other parts of the world that job opportunities are limited depending on your location. Even if the hourly rate sounds decent, you cannot decide how much you work.
- Rewards are not consistent
Some tasks pay €5, while some pay as low as €0.15 or so. ClickWorker says clearly in its FAQ that this is not a way to make a living.
- Follow every instruction
Each task has requirements and steps. One missed step means you cannot complete the task, so read the instructions carefully.
- Slow support
I have contacted their support a few times. I got an answer every time, but it is not the fastest, and the answers could be a lot better.
- Do not fake your country
You can only do tasks that are available in your region. If you try to fake your country, you will get banned.
My takeClickWorker does offer decent earning potential, but it depends on where you are located. I like that it has a mobile app you can use so you can earn on the go. But if you are located in a region where the job offers aren’t really great, the potential income will be reduced significantly. This can be a decent secondary site to earn a bit of income, though.
ClickWorker’s job offers depend on where you live. The top sites in your country give you more ways to earn.
See the best sites in your countryHow you earn on ClickWorker
There are 4 ways to earn. Micro tasks are the main one. Tap one to read more.
Micro tasksMain earner
This is the bread and butter of ClickWorker. Complete your profile first; the tasks you get depend on it. Each task tells you what you earn and when the task will be paid. Click start, and you see the requirements and the steps to claim the reward.
To qualify for more jobs, use the Assessments section. Base assessments check your basic qualifications for current and future jobs. Project-specific assessments check if you meet the prerequisites for jobs that are available now. Some assessments are repeatable, so you can retake them to improve your rating.
Paid surveysFew available
Surveys are listed together with the other tasks in your dashboard. There is no separate survey section. You answer a screening test first, so you do not spend time on a survey you do not qualify for.
There are not many surveys, because ClickWorker is not specialized in this.
Offers and promotionsVaries
ClickWorker’s partners sometimes post offers and promotions. You find them in the Offers and Promotions tab next to the All Jobs tab. ClickWorker says it checks the offers, but it is not liable for them. I did not have any available in my area, so read the conditions before you take one.
UHRS tasksExtra tasks
UHRS (Universal Human Relevance System) gives you access to further tasks, like image annotation, video annotation and speech transcription. You cannot sign up for it alone; you go through ClickWorker and answer several questions and instructions to get connected.
It is a bit of a hassle, but it can give you more work. Read my full UHRS review.

How much can you make?
ClickWorker’s website says you can earn well over $10 an hour, and that on average you will most likely earn around $9 an hour. That can be possible, based on what I observed. But it depends on how many surveys, micro tasks and partner offers you qualify for, and how quickly you finish a job.
The rewards are not consistent: some tasks pay €5, some as low as €0.15. Do not think you can quit your job and work full time on this website. ClickWorker itself says this is not a way to make a living. Overall, the earning potential is not that great, in my opinion, so do it with the right expectations.
Payout methods and minimum
| Method | Minimum | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| PayPal | $10, around €9 | Should be available in all countries. You need a verified PayPal account. |
| SEPA bank transfer | $10, around €9 | Not available in every country |
| Payoneer | $10, around €9 | Replaced Wise. Not available in every country. |
ClickWorker pays in euros, even if you sign up from a country that does not use euros. It is not one of the fastest paying sites, but the threshold is pretty decent, in my opinion. For sites that pay faster, see the quick-paying sites with a low minimum payout.
How to join ClickWorker
Almost anyone can join as a worker, for free. You must be at least 18 years old, and you need a verified PayPal account to receive your earnings.
Fill out a few details and click the verification link in the email you receive. Then complete your profile before you start receiving job offers. You do not get a reward for the profile, but it only takes a few minutes.
The app is on Android and iOS. When a task allows it, you can work offline and submit it once you are connected again. That is handy for tasks like taking videos, which use a lot of mobile data.
What 42 readers told me
This review has 42 comments since November 2019: 21 from readers and 21 replies from me. These are the three things readers ask about most.
Readers from the Philippines, Thailand, Bulgaria, Kenya and other regions found few tasks. I suggest sites with better options there.
Readers asked about PayPal in their country, a tax ID field and requests for ID. For account questions, ask ClickWorker’s support.
Readers report tasks shown as incomplete and blocked payments. Do not take more jobs until support has answered you.
“It might not be a scam but they pay around $2/hr so if you like to work for that kind of pay, enjoy.”
Mikael: Thanks for sharing your opinion.
“What region offer’s more task”
Mikael: You can only do tasks that are available in your region. If you try to fake your country, you will just get banned.
“I did the same job 3X because it shows on my screen that my data was 100% loaded, then when I check my balance … my balance keep showing 0,00 and on their dashboard shows that my task is incomplete.”
Mikael: I would definitely not take any more jobs until I had a clarification for this if I were you. Their support can be quite slow, in my experience but hopefully, they will get back to you soon.

A similar site in Africa, Kenya in particular

Hi Mikael
I am from India, I have an office working on Ecom amd social media marketing. RIght now I am out of work. Can you suggest a good project for our company. We work for very low rates.
Thank you
I would suggest you create a profile on freelance platforms and try to find some projects there.
Hi there. Im live here in the Philippines. Can you recommend a site similar to this that I can use better in my location. Any suggest? Thanks
There are many sites that are better in PH. You can check out this list of the best sites for the Phillippines.
Dear Mikael,
I am living in Thailand and I would like to find a survey website.
I registered at one, but the surveys are in Thai, and I don’t speak Thai…
Can you suggest websites where the surveys are in English, not depending on the residence?
Thank you!
You can find a list of the best survey sites in Thailand here.
Some of them will have surveys in English once in a while. But many surveys will be in the language of the country you live in simply because that makes it more likely for the companies there to get people to answer.
But one thing you can do is to use a free browser extension that automatically translates the surveys. It won’t be a perfect translation but it should be enough for you to be able to understand the questions.
Hope this helps.
Hello Mikael, can you suggest good sites for extra income for Bulgarian ? 🙂
Thank you !
I would suggest you check out this list with the best international sites – you can join all of these from Bulgaria.
In addition to these sites, you can check out Green Panthera, Surveyeah, and Triaba which are all also available in your country.
Hope this helps.
Thank you very much 🙂
you are welcome
I did a 2nd comment but I don´t understand why it was not posted?
you mean you posted a 2nd comment here on my website? There are two comments from you in the section below. When you post a comment here, they are, however, not published right away. I first have to approve them as otherwise some people, unfortunately, will use the comment section for spam. But I have approved all your comments and have replied to them.
Hope this explains it.
I did the same job 3X because it shows on my screen that my data was 100% loaded, then when I check my balance that is supposed to be 13.50 Euros my balance keep showing 0,00 and on their dashboard shows that my task is incomplete. The same when I took the 1st test with them to see if I was able to work for them and on each answer that I gave it corrects me showing what I’ve answered and what would be the correct answer if I did a mistake. Now the funny part is that 2 of questions I answered in a way and it showed me that I answered in a different way…. I wrote them an email explaining and up to now I have no response.
I would love if someone who knows what else should I do…. like, don’t take any new job if I am not sure if I will be paid
I would definitely not take any more jobs until I had a clarification for this if I were you. Their support can be quite slow, in my experience but hopefully, they will get back to you soon. But do not spend any more time on it until you do as you then risk wasting your time.
Until then there are plenty of other sites you can join and earn on as alternatives. What country do you live in? Then I will be happy to give a few suggestions for great alternatives.
Also, feel free to keep me updated about how it goes if you hear back from their support.
Mikael,
Thank you for your advice and your time.
I am in Brazil.
By the way, I did 2 videos showing that I was posting a 2nd time then I did another recording and on the video I am saying that it was a 3rd time.
I reduced the size of the video and I´ve sent to the person that I just received an email saying that I was supposed to wait until the system says thank you or something like this…. Yes, I´ve waited but it is not my fault if their system has a problem.
I have repeted the same job 3X but I just want to be paid for the job and my ballance is on 0,00 it took me a lot of time…. ove 3 hours…. I had to sort out a lot of photos that they asked for over 5 years of photos and this is not easy to go in to your files and sort photos that there are no participants and so on…. I mean it takes time.
Thanks for the update. Hope they will sort it out. I am honestly not impressed with their support when I have been in contact with them but hope they will be able to solve this for you quickly.
But luckily there are many other great alternatives in Brazil. You can check out this list of the best sites in Brazil.
Hope that helps.
Thanks for the reply Mikael,
I am not trying to show that I live in USA. I was there for 12 years and now recently I came back to Nepal and living my life here.
I have a verified PayPal I’d to withdraw funds from clickworker. Which I made when I was in USA. Now in Nepal PayPal doesn’t supports the payment gateway.
Mikael, I am just trying to know about clickworker payment details.
As you can see the payment details in clickworker account, you will find a box asking tax I’d of a PayPal account, which I don’t have. But My PayPal account is verified.I can send and receive money anywhere globally. but I am still confused if I could receive my payments from click worker or not? Because I do not have tax I’d number on my PayPal account.
Can you please explain me so that I can work well with clickworker?
Waiting for the positive reply. Thank You!
Best Regards,
I have not been in that situation myself so I cannot say exactly how ClickWorker works in a situation like that. I would suggest you to contact their support so you are sure what to do.
And feel free to keep me updated about how it goes.
Hi there, I am from Nepal . Let me tell you,I was in USA for 10 years I do have social security number but do not have tax I’d number. I have already created an account on clickworker and transferred some jobs as well. You know, I am confused whether I should keep transferring jobs or not because I am afraid of the payment it’s because I don’t have tax I’d no. Do you think does it really matters to receive payments without tax I’d?
Any positive feedback i will appreciate. Thank you.
Best Regards,
I, unfortunately, do not know Bijay.
I know most sites are very strict about where you come from so if you try to make it look you are from the US but do not live there, it can be a problem. But when it comes to tax, I do not know as tax rules are very different from country to country.
