9 Phone Apps That Pay for Small Tasks

9. TimeBucks pays for surveys

Nine phone apps that pay for small tasks, from surveys to store checks. Number nine: TimeBucks pays for surveys, short videos and micro tasks, and sends payouts automatically. Each survey shows the time it takes and the points you can earn before you start. It says you can see each survey's subject up front too, to match your interests and your time.

Its videos usually run about thirty seconds, and each one earns points. Balances are in dollars, so a bank or wallet in another currency converts them when the money arrives. Eligible payouts go out automatically five days a week, Sunday to Thursday by the site's own clock. To be paid, you need at least $3, a payment method set and a verified account.

Below that, your balance carries over until you reach it. If a survey screens you out, you may get only a small credit instead of the full reward. Its help page says surveys have participant limits, and a full survey closes to newcomers. You must be sixteen or older, or eighteen where its terms say so.

It is not available in some countries, and its terms list them, so check yours. VPNs are not allowed, either to register or while you do tasks. To start, you register for free, and the ways to earn that open up depend on where you are. If this one helps, subscribe: number one says its tasks are available twenty-four seven.

8. YSense pays for surveys

Number eight: ySense pays for surveys, offers and small tasks, and you never need to buy anything to earn. It calls itself a global online community, and signing up is free. Its offers include trying new products, downloading apps, signing up for sites and watching videos. You can choose only the offers you would want anyway.

Your rewards have no cash value until you redeem them for a gift card or another payout option. A cashout can take up to ten business days, sometimes longer, and up to fifteen for a new account. A new account is one registered in the last thirty days, or one on its first cashout. You can cash out up to two times a day, once you reach the minimum.

Thirteen is the minimum age, or older where local rules say so. Under eighteen, you need a parent's or guardian's approval. It may ask you to verify your identity with an ID or a phone number before paying rewards. An account that stays below its minimum activity standards for twelve months can be closed.

It is closed in some countries, so check its terms. It says general support questions are resolved within fifteen business days. You verify your email, complete your profile, then try a few surveys or offers. If none show up, it says new ones come in all the time.

Number seven starts you off with ten points.

7. LifePoints tells you how many points a survey pays before you start it

Number seven: LifePoints tells you how many points a survey pays before you start it. Longer or more urgent surveys pay more points. Surveys take about ten to twenty minutes on average. It says no special skills are needed to start earning from its surveys.

Give honest answers, because its page says your honest, unbiased opinion is always best. Signing up gives you ten points to start. Points can go to e-gift cards, credit with an online payment service and more. One point's value depends on the prize you choose.

You can redeem once you have enough points for the lowest-priced prize. Points are posted no later than thirty days after a survey. Some surveys carry no points, and the invitation or the survey says so at the start. Points expire only if you stay inactive for thirty days after signing up, or within any ninety-day period.

You must be at least fourteen, and older in some countries. You can register only in the country where you live. There is currently no fee to take part, and only one account per person is allowed. You sign up, verify your email, complete your profile and watch your inbox for invitations.

Its page says surveys fill up fast, so check that inbox often. Number six has no minimum to cash out.

6. With Streetspotr, you do spots, small tasks on site with your phone, and each one you complete successfully is paid

Number six: with Streetspotr, you do spots, small tasks on site with your phone, and each one you complete successfully is paid. A spot could be taking a photo, checking information or answering a short question. Its help page says a spot usually pays between two and fifteen euros. The app shows the maximum possible pay for each spot, so the final amount can be lower.

It says reliable, good work opens better-paid jobs over time. You can do any spot the app shows, even away from home. Spots are pins on a map, and filters help you narrow the search. After you accept a spot, you usually have twelve hours to finish it.

You check in within 400 meters of the spot, and the app uses your location to verify it. Unless the spot says otherwise, the check of a finished spot takes up to seven days. Payouts go only to an online payment account, with no minimum amount. From your request, the money arrives within thirty days, in your local currency.

Spots can vanish from the map, because only a few results are needed. Taking spots requires being eighteen or older, with a smartphone and a free account. Its pages list no countries, so open the app and see what shows up near you. You download the app, register, search for spots nearby, then do the task on site with the photos it asks for.

Number five gives you a set time to finish each job.

5. Field Agent has store jobs

Number five: Field Agent has store jobs, like a photo of a product on the shelf and its price, paid when approved. Each job shows the amount you earn for an approved submission, and it varies by place and task. A typical audit: go to a store, find a product, take photos, answer a few questions and submit. Once you accept, you have a set time to finish, and two hours is typical.

Other jobs include surveys about your shopping and scavenger hunts for products in stores. Read every requirement first, because some jobs ask you to buy something, usually reimbursed. The job must be done at the exact address, and the app checks your GPS. To cash out, you link and verify a bank account or prepaid card, which takes two to three business days.

You need at least $3 to cash out. It processes cashouts within twenty-four hours on weekdays, then banks often take three to five business days. Ticket jobs pay no money, but they can qualify you for paying jobs. You must be at least eighteen.

It lists the countries where it has partners, so check yours. After you download the app and create an account with a few details about you, you can reserve and complete jobs. Five down, four to go. Seven more ways to earn with just a phone are in our earlier video, linked on screen.

Number four turns surveys into chats.

4. Streetbees pays each survey within forty-eight hours of approval

Number four: Streetbees pays each survey within forty-eight hours of approval, with no minimum to reach. Each survey takes about five to ten minutes. Its surveys work like chats, so you share your thoughts in your own words, with no multiple-choice. Some ask for a photo or a video, which should be clear and bright.

Its business page says it typically pays the equivalent of $1 per submission, and that can vary. Longer or more complex surveys pay a bit more, it says. Give detailed answers, because they are more likely to be approved and paid. Payment goes to an online payment service, or another method in some countries.

Each survey has only so many places per age and gender, so some fill up quicker than others. If a submission is rejected, the app shows you why. Joining starts at thirteen, or older where local rules say so, and under eighteen you need a parent's permission. Registration needs a mobile phone number, and every application is subject to approval.

The app is not available in every country, and its page lists where it is. Once the app is downloaded, you verify your phone, add your age and gender, then add how you want to be paid. Its steps suggest turning on notifications, so new surveys do not slip by. Your first survey may be a short training one.

Number three keeps a streak bonus.

3. Qmee says a cashout to an online payment service can arrive within a few minutes

Number three: Qmee says a cashout to an online payment service can arrive within a few minutes, with no minimum. Rewards go into your piggy bank in real time as you finish surveys. Each survey shows its reward, and a five-day streak adds 10%. By our count, a one-dollar survey reward becomes a dollar ten with that bonus.

You keep the streak with a survey, or its daily poll, five days in a row. Cash goes to an online payment service whenever you like, or to a charity. Gift cards need a first payout to that service. That payment account must be in the same country as your Qmee account, and fully verified.

Sixteen is the minimum age, and only one account is allowed. Banking hours or holidays can sometimes delay a payout, it notes. A survey can close while you answer if its quota fills up. Providers can also turn down answers that look too fast or inconsistent.

It also notes that some surveys use your webcam. It serves residents of a few countries for now, so check whether yours is on its list. You sign up free with an email and a password, answer a few questions, then new surveys appear as they come in. Number two works from a map of jobs near you.

2. AppJobber shows each job's reward before you start

Number two: AppJobber shows each job's reward before you start, and it is always at least one euro. Jobs often mean photographing posters or products at set places, sometimes with a few questions. One example: find products on a supermarket shelf, photograph them and rate how visible they are. Some jobs can even be done from home, such as surveys.

When you accept a job, it is reserved for you, usually for six hours. If your reservation runs out, another user who uploads a result may get the reward. Reviews usually take a few days, and up to four weeks. A response that misses the job description is rejected and earns nothing.

Correct jobs pay the full amount in the description. By our count, five jobs at that one-euro minimum add up to at least five euros. You can request a payout every seven days, with no minimum. Each week's payouts go out together on the first working day of the next week.

Bank transfers carry no extra fee, while the online payment service takes its own. Anyone eighteen or older with a working smartphone can take jobs. Jobs are not available everywhere, so check the map for the ones around you. With the free app installed, you register with an email, confirm it, then accept and complete jobs.

In one breath, eight so far: automatic payouts, surveys and offers, points, spots, store jobs, chat surveys, a streak bonus and micro-jobs. What do you think number one says about when its tasks are open? Number one has the answer.

1. Roamler says its tasks are available twenty-four seven

Number one: Roamler says its tasks are available twenty-four seven, and each shows its payout before you accept it. It pays you for quick tasks in stores near you: checking a shelf, taking a photo, answering a few questions. It says most tasks take a few minutes, and the app walks you through every step. Store checks collect pictures and data about products, prices and displays.

Every mission pays per task, so you pick the ones that fit your day. The app is free to download and use, and you need to be eighteen or older. Ratings and reviews tasks send you a product to test and review. Begin with a quick shelf check near a store you already visit.

You create an account in a few minutes, do the quick welcome task and unlock your first paid tasks. Then you open the map, choose a task, submit it, and cash out once it is approved. Payout rules and fees differ by country, and the payout screen shows the fee before you confirm. And that completes the nine.
