Real surveys and a low $5 cashout, but low rewards after the first ones
Surveys with a $5 cashout to PayPal, bank, Visa or gift cards. The rewards drop after the first profile surveys, and several readers report cashouts that did not arrive.

The short answer
Survey Pop is a survey app that rewards you for answering surveys, and it has a low $5 payout threshold. You will most likely earn the first $5 quickly from its $1 profile surveys. After that, the rewards are low, and it takes longer and longer to reach the next cashout.
Since 2023, several readers have told me they cashed out and did not receive the money, and that support did not answer their emails. I no longer use Survey Pop, because there are many better survey apps.
- It offers a straightforward way to earn
- The app is user-friendly
- Offers payment via PayPal
- Several readers report cashouts that did not arrive
- Readers say support does not reply
- Limited earning opportunities
- Low rewards
My experience with Survey Pop
I tested the app myself because I was curious about its claim. This is what I did, and what I did not test.

- Mobile appAndroid and iOS; the website login did not work for me
- Status
- No longer using itThere are many better options
- Sign-up with phone verification and the $1 profile surveys
- The partner surveys and their qualifying questions
- The cashout options and the $5 threshold

Is Survey Pop legit and safe?
Survey Pop does have real surveys, and its $5 threshold is low. Here is what you should know before you install it, including what readers report about cashouts.
- Several readers report cashouts that never arrived
Since 2023, several readers have told me in the comments that they reached the cashout, got a confirmation, and never received the money in PayPal. Some waited more than a month. The latest report is from November 2025.
- Support often does not reply
Readers say they emailed support several times and got an automatic reply with a ticket number, then nothing. It seems it is a bit random how fast their support is.
- Problems at cashout
Some readers could not get past the PayPal verification at cashout, or got a text asking them to confirm a pending cashout. If that happens, contact Survey Pop support through the app.
- Low rewards after the first surveys
The profile surveys pay $1 each, but the partner surveys after them pay around $0.40 to $0.90, and you often do not qualify. It takes longer and longer to reach the next cashout.
- Unclear where it works
Survey Pop does not say which countries it is available in. Readers in Nigeria and India found the surveys locked.
My takeIn my opinion, Survey Pop was never more than a secondary survey app because of its low earning potential. Since then, several readers have told me their cashouts never arrived and support did not reply. I am not using it anymore, as there are many better survey apps that have paid out for years.
Survey Pop pays little after the first $5. These sites have paid out for years.
See the best sites in your countryHow you earn on Survey Pop
There is only one way to earn: paid surveys. The first ones pay the most.
Paid surveys$1 profile surveys, then around $0.40 to $0.90
If you verify your phone number during sign-up, your first surveys are profile surveys from Survey Pop. Each pays $1, and you are never disqualified, because they are used to find surveys that fit you.
After that, the surveys come from Survey Pop’s partner providers, and they pay less. You first answer qualifying questions. If you pass, you take the survey. If you do not, some surveys still pay a small amount, usually $0.02, but most pay nothing. A survey can also fill up, and then you automatically fail to qualify.
There is a decent number of surveys at any time, but you will not always qualify, so it is hard to say if you can earn regularly.

How much can you make?
Partner surveys usually pay around $0.40 to $0.90 each, and the qualifying rate when I tested the app was not great. You still get a little for some surveys you do not qualify for.
You might earn the first $5 quickly, which is what the app claims. But after the high-paying profile surveys, it takes longer and longer to reach the next cashout.
Several readers also report that their cashout never arrived. So keep your expectations low.
Payout methods and minimum
| Method | Minimum |
|---|---|
| PayPal | $5 |
| Direct bank transfer | $5 |
| Prepaid Visa card | $5 |
| Gift cards: Amazon, Walmart, Target, Starbucks and more | $5 |
Every survey you complete adds to your Survey Pop balance. Once you have at least $5, you can redeem a reward. Several readers report that their PayPal cashout never arrived.
For sites that have paid out by bank transfer for years, see the top sites that pay via direct bank transfer.

If you have any comments, questions, or experience with Survey Pop, I would love to hear from you in a comment below.
I’ve cashed out twice, receiving a congratulations email each time, but never receive the payment in Paypal. I keep emailing support and receive an email with a support number, but once again, never receive any emails after that. It’s as though someone on the back end of the app is stealing peoples cash-outs – maybe the same person that should be responding to the support emails?
I think this app is a scam!!
Sorry to hear that. Thanks for sharing your experiences. I suggest you try to see if you can find another way to contact them. Let me know how it goes.
Hi Makael. Are you affiliated with Survey Pop?
No, I do not have any affiliation with them at all. Also, I only give them 2.5 stars and say there are many better options, in my opinion.
im trying to get my payout, but they ask to verify my paypal, and then make me login. i login, correct password and email, i even reset the password. it says “Some of your information isn’t correct. Please try again.” nothing i do works
You need to contact their support about this.
Has any one got a text before saying “ Reply CONFIRM to release your pending surveypop cashout?
It is likely just a kind of captcha.
Hello Mikel been checking out your site and it’s great I love it, I’m currently using Honeygrain and money sms but I’m not confused here has data I subscribe is much more higher than what they offer, can you refer me to any better app I can be using? Working has been slow this days and I’m looking for alternative

I love how you word things. When I want to find out if an app is legit, I always check out your website.
Happy to hear that. Thanks.
It’s the fact that we have 2 agree to their terms and conditions, something has 2 b done..
No matter what kind of platform you are going to join online, you always have to accept their terms. They are required by law to have terms. The question is then if you can accept those terms or not. That is up to you to decide.
I finally reached the 6$ required to cashout… I received nothing. I contacted the support service, I had a verified number and an automatic response saying they would answer me in one buisness day. After a week I send another request. No answer. A week later, same. At that point there is nothing left to do. Have you really been in touch with the support team?
Sorry to hear that. It seems it is a bit random how fast their support is.
As mentioned in the review above, it is not as such a platfomr I recommend as there are many better options, so I am not using it anymore.
their support LOL does nothing. this is nothing but selling your info and most of the time not getting paid for it. they will steal your info for instance taking details about you and your precious time then closing the survey. how does that feel? I say F them. Eureka is worse. you might get to maybe 2 or three dollars but then they start messing with you. what bothers me is being fake about it saying you have to be honest, be yourself blah blah blah but that’s just a trick to get you suckered into their surveys. then they shut a worker out. this is what you are as you’re not doing community service to do by the way. not evrn a cent is given on these theft “surveys.” avoid these sheisssters. by the way they also never cancel your account. both these websites will have you feeling desperate and bad about yourself. not to mention wearing out your hand muscles. and now they want your selfie and physical id. never give this to any company including sales platforms. it’s just an information and privacy grab. i m e these companies do not like lgbtqia individuals. very few of their profile forms allow for any deviation of male or female. again, just don’t trust them. to be polite about it.
Thanks for sharing you thoughts and experiences on this.
Stopped paying and won’t answer emails. I have been trying to get paid out since March 10th and have sent 5 separate emails in that time and I also included surveyspin and eureka surveys as well as they are all related and no one has made any attempt to reply or facilitate my payout. Mark these guys down as one of the many many failed survey providers that show all kinds of promise and then vanish as soon as it’s time to pay the people that do the work.
Thanks for sharing your experiences. >Which country do you live in? Then I will be happy to suggest some sites that have paid out for years.
Thanks for your reply. I am based in Canada and I am always on the lookout for well paying survey opportunities
I have a list of the best survey sites in Canada here.
Thank you 4 that..the 2 of them owe me money, and i ain’t been paid, they say they have sent it to my PayPal, nothing there.. 1 was good till the sister site joined.small claims court comes 2 mind !!

When I open the survey popup now the survey’s are locked How do I open the survey?
You need to contact their support about this.
I earned the minimum fairly quickly however I chose the PayPal cash out method which said would take 1-2 business days. It has been over a month since then and I still haven’t received my cash out earnings which makes this app seem like a total scam. I’ve even reached out to support multiple times, but haven’t heard back from them at all. I don’t even know what to do now as it just seems like they are a completely scam/con artist company, but reviews say people got their money or they are fake reviews. Hopefully I get my earnings otherwise I hope this app is flagged and removed as it is not right to do this.
Thanks for sharing your experiences. Hope you will get your money And make sure you do not use VPN or anything like that when taking surveys as that will get you blocked.
