Make MoneyBest For
dscout is for two groups of people: Researchers who want to utilize an established research panel and Scouts interested in making some extra money by sharing their opinions and influencing brands.
Best For
Meta Viewpoints is for anyone looking to make extra money on phone, especially if they're interested in contributing to Facebook and Meta products. Many of the tasks are distributed by Meta itself, so by participating, you'll be having an impact on the products they release.
That said, if you're looking for something that provides a full-time income, Meta Viewpoints most likely won't be able to provide that. And if you hate the Meta/Facebook company, you probably won't want to use this platform.

- Offers a variety of interesting opportunities.
Pros
- Offers a variety of tasks. This can make earning money with the app actually enjoyable as it's not an endless grind of the same old thing.

- Low minimum payout threshold.
Cons
- Mission availability can be limited depending on your geographical location and demographics.
- Even if you have missions available, it can be difficult to qualify for them due to competition on the platform and the specific needs of researchers.
- Live and diary missions, although high-paying, require more time to complete.
Cons
- Many reviewers report very infrequent tasks. This can make it hard to earn a consistent income from this platform.
- Owned and operated by Facebook/Meta, which a lot of people dislike these days.
- No referral program.
