How We Review Apps That Pay Cash
Our review process is thorough and systematic. We don?t just describe apps based on marketing materials; we use them ourselves through hands-on testing.
Hands-On Testing
- Downloading and installation: We install each app on multiple devices to check compatibility and initial experience.
- Account creation: We complete the full sign-up process, noting required information, onboarding steps, and any friction.
- Task completion: We complete surveys, games, offers, or other tasks, tracking time, effort, and earnings.
- Interface and navigation: We evaluate how intuitive and user-friendly the app is and how easily users can find what they need.
- Performance and stability: We test for bugs, crashes, and performance issues that could affect your ability to earn.
Payout Thresholds and Methods
- Minimum payout: We determine the minimum amount required to cash out and whether it is realistic to reach.
- Payout options: We verify available methods?such as PayPal, gift cards, or bank transfers?and their suitability for U.S. users.
- Payout speed: We initiate withdrawals and measure how long it takes to receive funds, comparing this to the app?s stated timelines.
- Fees: We identify any hidden fees or charges associated with cashing out.
Our separate Review Methodology page provides an even deeper look at how we test and verify payout details.
