Make Money Save MoneyBest For
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
Pogo is for those looking to find some quick savings or earn a bit of extra cash here and there doing things they already do. It's not going to earn you a fortune or anything, but it can provide some supplementary income. Keep in mind, if you're going to use it, you should be comfortable sharing some data about your shopping and transactions.
