Is Viewfruit Legit or a Scam? (In-Depth 2024 Review)

Viewfruit Rating


Viewfruit is easy to use and offers a good amount of paid surveys. It has great reward options and a low payout threshold, and you can join from around 10 countries.

Viewfruit is a paid survey site that looks like a great way to earn some extra money online at first.

But is Viewfruit legit and a real way to earn some extra money, or is it a fake scam to stay away from?

I have personally tested hundreds of paid survey sites, and I have also tested Viewfruit thoroughly over several years. Let me reveal right away that it is a legit site – you can actually earn and get paid as a member, and I have been paid by it many times.

Legit does, however, not necessarily mean it is the right opportunity for you.

In this Viewfruit review, you will get all the details about what it offers, who it is for, and what you can earn, so you know exactly what to expect and can easily decide if it is a site worth joining for YOU or not.

What is Viewfruit, and what does the site offer?

Viewfruit is a member of the Market Research Association, and it is a site that has been around for many years now. It is owned by Paneland, and it definitely a legit company – I know as I have been paid by it many times myself.

So, the legitimacy of Viewfruit is not something you have to worry about – it definitely is a real way to earn, and it does pay if you do everything honestly, and it is not a fake scam.

But let's then look into what the platform offers so you can see if it is for you or not.

For that, I have made a video that gives you an inside look and shows exactly how it works and how much you can earn. You can also read all the details below the video.

Option 1 – Viewfruit surveys (V-Surveys):

Viewfruit is, first of all, a survey site, and this is the main way to earn money on this platform.

It has a good amount of surveys available, and they pay decently for your time spent compared to other sites.

Usually, you will receive an email with an invitation when a new survey is available. It can, however, still be a good idea to check the platform itself regularly to check for new opportunities, as you will not always get an email notification.

And make sure to check your junk folder for survey invitations after you sign up. In my experience, the invites often go here, and if you are not aware of this, you can potentially miss out on a lot of earnings.

When you are logged in, you will also easily be able to see which surveys are available at the moment.

viewfruit surveys overview
You can easily get an overview of the available surveys on Viewfruit.

As you can see in the image above, you can see in the corner of the surveys whether you can take it on PC, Phone, or both.

Below each survey offer, you can also see the number of points you will earn for taking the survey. This makes it easy to quickly see which surveys you want to participate in.

You can always decide which surveys you want to participate in and which ones you want to skip.

Be aware that to be offered the most relevant surveys it can be a good idea to fill out your profile after you join. This will give Viewfruit some more info about who you are, and you will therefore be offered more relevant surveys.

No matter what, you will, however, not qualify for all surveys. That is just how it is on more or less all survey sites. On Viewfruit, you should however have good chances of qualifying, so if you do not qualify the first time, do not give up.

On Viewfruit, you will furthermore get a reward, even if you do not qualify, which is quite unusual but great. I will explain more about this later.

Option 2 – Create and vote in polls:

On Viewfruit, you can participate in what is called V-Vote. It is small polls created by other members. They only take a few seconds to answer.

It can, for example, be a short question like Coke or Pepsi, how did you meet your soul mate, do you play video games or not, etc.

They are always very short and quick to answer. Once you have answered, you can see the statistics of how other people have answered.

You can see the results right away when you participate in the V-Vote.

You can also create your own small V-Vote polls, and other members will then participate in these. This is not something you earn by doing, but more of a social thing.

It can be a great way to get some quick answers to a question you are wondering about, and it can be a fun way to interact with other members. But just be aware that it is not a way to earn.

Option 3 – Lucky draws:

Viewfruit has a nice extra way that will give you the chance to win some great extra prizes. It is called the lucky draw.

viewfruit prize draw
You can win great prizes or extra cash in the Lucky Draw.

You can win some great prizes like, for example, an iPhone, Kindle, or extra cash. The exact rewards here change from time to time and will depend on your country.

You do not have to do anything extra to get entries into this draw. You get entries by being active on Viewfruit.

Every time you complete a survey, you will, for example, get 3 entries into the draw. If you do not qualify, or if the survey is full when you try, you get 1 entry. So this is a nice consolation prize to get if you end up not qualifying for a survey, and not often you find a survey site that will give you a reward even when you do not qualify.

As soon as you have received an entry, you can right away press the “Go”, and see if you have won. You can also choose to save the entries for later.

Option 4 – Invite friends to join:

You can invite your friends to join Viewfruit, and this way build your own survey team.

When one of the people you invited completes a Viewfruit survey, you will get 10% extra paid into your account. The person taking the survey will still get paid the same amount as usual, but Viewfruit pays this extra 10 % to you because you invited the person to join your team.

When one of the people you invite confirms their account, you will furthermore get one entry into the lucky draw. So if you know some people that are interested in joining Viewfruit, it can be a nice way to make a little extra.

Option 5 – Message members:

Viewfruit used to have an option called V-chat, which was a chat function.

However, this has been removed, but you can now instead use the message center to send messages to friends.

This is not really a feature I am using much myself, but it is still nice to know it is there. Just be aware that you will not get paid for using this feature.

Of course, it is not allowed to post spam or promotions in the Viewfruit chat.

This function is not something you will get paid to participate in, but it can make it a bit more fun to be a member if you like being social.

How do you get paid?

One thing it is important to know before joining an online survey site is, of course, what it offers. But it is also very important to know how you will get paid for participating.

When you complete surveys on Viewfruit, you will earn points, and as previously mentioned, you will also earn entries into the lucky draw at the same time.

The points you earn can then be exchanged into cash through PayPal. Personally, I love survey sites that offer PayPal as a payout option, as it is great to be able to get the rewards in cash in a fast and easy way.

On Viewfruit, you can exchange your points for cash through PayPal.

An advantage of Viewfruit is that it has a low payout threshold, so you can get your money out already when you have earned $5, which is really great.

500 Viewfruit points equal $1, so you need to earn 2500 points to get a payout.

Payout requests are processed every Monday, and it will then take 1-5 business days before you will get the money into your account.

So overall, the payout method and conditions are great on Viewfruit, in my opinion.

How much money can you make on Viewfruit?

Overall, Viewfruit has some decent opportunities to earn money by taking surveys. So, it is a good site to join to earn a bit of extra cash.

Depending on the country you live in, there are, however, sites that offer more opportunities, as some sites offer several ways to earn. You can check out my list of the top paying survey sites in your country to get an overview of this.

However, Viewfruit is definitely one of the sites that are worth considering in the countries it is available in (see the list of this below).

Just be aware that, as on any other survey site, you will not be able to make a full-time income on Viewfruit. You can make some nice extra cash and have your opinion heard on important topics, but it will not make you rich. So, if you are looking to become rich online, paid surveys are not the way to go.

Can you use Viewfruit on mobile?

Having access to a survey panel on mobile is a great way to be able to take surveys and earn a little extra in breaks throughout the day.

Viewfruit has its own app that makes this very easy.

The Viewfruit app is a great way to get easy access to the surveys.

You can do all the same things in the app as you can on the website itself. You will even get a bonus of 100 points for installing the app.

There are some surveys that can only be taken on mobile and some that are only available on PC, so it is still good to regularly check both options. But many of the surveys are available in both the Viewfruit app and on the website.

The app is available for both Android and iPhone.

Who can join?

Viewfruit is available in around 32 countries from Asia, Australia, Europe, America, and Africa. For each country it is available in, it has its own platform and often in the local language.

At the moment, Viewfruit is actively recruiting members from, for example, the US, UK, Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, Philippines, Malaysia, India, and Singapore.

So, if you live in one of these countries, it is definitely a site worth considering. You can see later in this review how you can join.

Can you get support?

It is always important to know if a survey site offers support or not, as it tells about how serious it is.

I have myself been in contact with Viewfruit a few times, and they have been pretty quick in responding and have come back with useful replies.

How fast the support is might differ from country to country, and if you have any experiences with Viewfruit's support from your country, it would be great if you can share it in a comment below.

But overall, you can, in my experience, expect a fairly quick answer if you need to get in contact with support.

Final verdict

No doubt Viewfruit is a legit survey site. But that does not necessarily mean it is the right option for you.

So let's finish this review by summing up the pros and cons so you can get a quick overview of what Viewfruit offers and see if it is a survey site for you or not.

pros

Pros:

  • Free to join
  • Decent amount of surveys
  • Offers PayPal payments
  • Low payout threshold
  • Easy to use
cons

Cons:

  • Not available in all countries
  • Can be distracting with the social elements

Overall, Viewfruit is easy to use and offers good opportunities to earn for a survey site. It can be a little distracting with some of the social elements if you are easily distracted, but it can also be fun.

It offers a great payout method, and you can get paid already when you have earned $5. In addition to this, I really like that you will get a chance to win points even if you do not qualify for a survey.

So, in general, it is definitely a site worth considering.

How to join Viewfruit?

Viewfruit is very easy to join. If you want to join, just click the button below, choose your country, and you will then be taken to the page where you can sign up.

It takes 10 seconds to sign up. Once you have signed up, you just need to check your email and use a verification code in the email to confirm your account.

If there are no surveys right when you sign up, just give it a little time to gather data, and then check it again 10 minutes later. Then, there will likely be surveys available for you.

  1. I tried withdrawing my points at the end of April, which was approved by the Viewfruit team last week. However, I haven’t received my payment yet. The status shows the points as “Application in processing” and the request as “Approved: paying”. I have tried contacting their support team multiple times, but have not received any response. I don’t know what to do.

  2. Thanks, I guess I just have to wait. I’ve withdrawn my points once earlier, but it took only 2 days for the money to arrive after approval. That’s why I was surprised this time.

  3. Kudos to you, Mikael for your diligence and most importantly, your patience in responding to dumb and repeated questions of lazy people who do not read your post.

    My feedback on Viewfruit? Yes it is LEGIT but it’s a waste of time. Since 2010 I’ve been joining every survey site there is. I have given up in 2015 because all these survey sites have the same old sh**ty decorum of screening out everybody who don’t meet their target market — people who have the financial capacity to buy commodities and travel on a regular, monthly (even daily) basis.

    Of course, why would they get the opinions of people who cannot buy products? No money there!

    There is one very survey site I am tempted to mention (but would be unethical to do so). I remember that site because it was the ONLY site I have earned real money from. Twice. $250 paid in cheque. $250 in one year. LOL. I left that site because I went back to my ‘fallback’ job offline.

    Survey sites rip people off by paying them in pathetic micro-cents (or worse, lucky points) per survey, while pocketing thousands of dollars saved in feasibility studies. Their slogans will stay slogans, never the reality for members. Survey sites will (and I mean to generalize) forever stay the same until the people of the world begin to learn their lesson.

    • Thanks for sharing your opinion.

      Whether survey sites are worth it or not entirely depends on the expectations you do it with. It is not meant to be a way to make a living or a part time income. It is meant as a way to earn a bit extra and have your opinion heard at the same time. And if that is the goal, then the taking surveys in the absolute fastest way to start making some extra money online as you can start earning right away and get paid fast. Of course, how many surveys there are available depends on the country you live in and your profile.

      But if your goal is to make a living online, then you need to start an online business instead. The earning potential of that is huge but it will take a lot of time, investment, and effort before you get to that level. So it all depends on the goals and expectations what the best option is and what is worth it.
