BrandBee is primarily for those looking for a small passive income stream through sharing their data. Since that part of the app is a requirement, the surveys and cashback are more just bonus features. Keep in mind, no parts of BrandBee will make you rich! This platform is simply a source of supplementary income.
Best For
Microsoft Rewards is for those who frequently use (or are willing to switch to) Microsoft products like Bing, Xbox, Windows, etc. and are looking to earn some rewards for doing things they already do. This platform won’t earn you a fortune, but it can provide some nice bonuses here and there in exchange for a small time commitment.
If you’re not interested in using Microsoft products or you’re looking for something with a stronger earning potential, Microsoft Rewards probably isn’t for you.

Pros
- Daily data-sharing income is pretty passive.

- Wide range of redeemable gift cards available in different payout amounts.
Pros
- Very easy to earn with. Most of the tasks on Microsoft Rewards are extremely simple and some are things you already do automatically on a daily basis (like searching the web).
- Lots of different ways to earn points.
- Decent selection of payout options, with some unique ones that few other platforms offer.
Cons
- Limited earning opportunities.

- Won't make you rich.
Cons
- Takes a long time to build up enough points to earn a gift card or similar payout.
- Rewards points expire after 18 months of inactivity.
- Confusing points system. Some rewards give you much worse conversion rates than others.
