Owned by the same company as Paid Product Testing and Paid Focus Group. I'm not sure anyone really needs to be a member of all of these sites...

What Are Paid Survey Apps?
What they are: Mobile apps that pay you for sharing your opinions on products, services, shopping habits, and current events. Some are the app versions of survey websites, while others exist only on mobile.
How they work: Download the app, set up your profile, answer surveys honestly, and cash out via PayPal, bank transfer, or gift cards once you reach the minimum (usually £1-10).
Types of surveys: Quick polls pay 10p-50p for 2-5 minutes. Standard surveys pay £0.50-£2 for 10-20 minutes. Specialist surveys—for specific products or demographics—can pay £2-£10+ for 20-45 minutes.
Best apps to start with: Go for apps with low cashout thresholds and clear pay rates. Some apps are worth your time, others are endless screeners, so pick wisely.
How Much Can You Actually Earn With Survey Apps?
Your earnings depend on which apps you use, how many notifications you respond to, and your demographics. Here’s a rough idea for different approaches:
Casual Scrimpr
Using 1-2 apps, completing surveys when they appear
2 surveys weekly × £0.75 average = £1.50/week
1 higher-paying survey monthly × £3 = £3/month
Annual total: ≈ £114
Regular Scrimpr
Using 3-5 apps, checking daily for new surveys
5 surveys weekly × £0.80 average = £4/week
2 specialist surveys monthly × £4 = £8/month
Profile surveys and app bonuses = £2/month
Annual total: ≈ £328
Veteran Scrimpr
Using 5+ apps, qualifying for specialist panels, responding daily
10 surveys weekly × £1 average = £10/week
4 specialist/product testing surveys monthly = £20/month
Focus groups or video diaries (occasional) = £30/month average
Annual total: ≈ £1,120
The Golden Rules of Survey Apps
Survey apps can be frustrating without the right approach. Following these rules will help you maximize earnings and avoid endless screeners:
Rule 1: Install Multiple Apps
No single app has enough surveys to keep you busy. Use 3-5 apps to ensure a steady stream of opportunities. Some apps cater to specific demographics, so variety pays off.
Rule 2: Complete Your Profile Thoroughly
Detailed profiles mean better survey matching and fewer disqualifications. Spend 10-15 minutes on demographics, household info, and product ownership. Update profiles when circumstances change.
Rule 3: Answer Screening Questions Honestly
Don’t try to “game” the app. Inconsistent answers can get you banned. It’s better to be disqualified quickly than waste 15 minutes on a survey you’ll be kicked out of later.
Rule 4: Check for Surveys Daily
High-value surveys fill up quickly. Check apps once a day (morning is often best) and enable push notifications for urgent surveys.
Rule 5: Abandon Low-Value Surveys
Calculate your effective hourly rate. If a survey offers £0.50 for 20 minutes, that’s £1.50/hour—not worth your time. Aim for surveys paying at least £3-4/hour equivalent.
Rule 6: Track Disqualification Rates
If you get disqualified from more than 50% of surveys on an app, it’s probably not a good match. Focus on apps where you qualify more often.
Rule 7: Cash Out Regularly
Don’t let balances pile up. Apps can close or change terms unexpectedly. Cash out as soon as you reach the minimum threshold—or at least monthly.

Common Issues and Solutions
I Keep Getting Disqualified
Possible causes: Your demographics don't match survey needs, you're rushing through screening questions and giving inconsistent answers, the survey quota filled before you finished screening, or you're trying to qualify for surveys outside your genuine profile.
Solution: Answer honestly and consistently. Update your profile thoroughly on each site. Accept that 30-50% disqualification rates are normal—it's not personal. Focus on sites with better pre-screening like Prolific and Paid Viewpoint.
A Survey Disqualified Me After 15 Minutes
This is frustrating but common. Some sites use "attention check" questions throughout surveys and will disqualify you for failing them. Others have quota limits that trigger mid-survey.
Solution: Read questions carefully, avoid rushing, and report the survey if you weren't fairly compensated for your time. Sites like Prolific and Paid Viewpoint have better protections against this.
My Account Was Suspended
Common reasons: Using VPNs, creating multiple accounts, giving inconsistent profile information, rushing through surveys (suspicious completion times), or failing attention checks repeatedly.
Solution: Contact support if you believe it's an error. Always use your real information and complete surveys honestly. Most suspensions are permanent.
I'm Not Getting Any Surveys
Possible reasons: Your demographic is oversaturated (18-24 males in particular have fewer opportunities), your profile is incomplete, you've been flagged for quality issues, or it's simply a slow period.
Solution: Complete all profile surveys, sign up for 5+ sites to increase opportunities, check sites at different times of day, and be patient—survey volume fluctuates.
Payment Is Taking Forever
Processing times vary by site. PayPal payments are usually fastest (instant to 72 hours). Bank transfers and gift cards can take 10-15 business days.
Solution: Check the site's stated processing time. Contact support after this period passes. Keep screenshots of your cashout request.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many survey sites should I join?
Start with 3-5 reputable sites. More sites = more opportunities, but managing too many becomes time-consuming. Focus on quality sites that match your demographics.
Why do I get disqualified so often?
Disqualification rates of 30-60% are normal. Researchers need specific demographics, and you won't match every survey. This is why using multiple sites is essential.
Can I lie to qualify for more surveys?
No, don't do this. Sites track your answers for consistency and will ban you for providing false information. You'll also waste time on surveys you'll be kicked from later anyway.
Are survey earnings taxable?
UK tax law is complex, but generally: earnings under £1,000/year from all "trading income" are covered by the trading allowance. If you earn more, you may need to declare it. Consult HMRC guidance or a tax professional for your specific situation.
What are "profile surveys"?
Unpaid or low-paid surveys that gather demographic information to match you with relevant paid surveys. Complete these thoroughly—they improve your survey matching and reduce disqualifications.
Should I use my real information?
Yes, always. Sites verify information and will ban accounts with false details. Plus, payment processors require accurate information to transfer money.
What's a good hourly rate for surveys?
Aim for £3-5/hour minimum. Prolific consistently hits £5-8/hour. Anything below £2/hour probably isn't worth your time unless you're doing it passively (e.g., during TV watching).
Which site should I start with?
Begin with Prolific - it has the fairest pay, lowest disqualification rates, and most respectful treatment of your time. Add Paid Viewpoint as your second site for its no-disqualification guarantee.
