My first intro to making money online was with GPT sites. I was around 13 years old when my friend showed me how he was saving up for a new Playstation 3 by earning points online.
I was mind blown.
Here I was broke as a joke spending my newspaper route money on corner store candy while my friend was out here making magic money on the internet.
Naturally, I asked him to teach me his ways.
He sent me a referral link for a few sites — two that I can remember were Swagbucks and FusionCash (more on these later) — and I got started. I was mostly filling paid surveys and doing sign up offers.
…But, I didn't last long. I wasn't very consistent and eventually, I just gave up.
My friend was a different breed though. The dude would complete tasks every. single. day. He actually ended up getting the PS3 too. What a boss.
Anyway, GPT sites have come a long way since then.
In this GPT guide, I'll break down everything you need to know: what GPT sites are, how they work, which ones are the best, how you can start making money with them, tips, tricks, and more FAQs.

What Are GPT Sites?
GPT stands for Get Paid To. GPT sites got their name by offering multiple earning opportunities all in one place. They make it possible for almost anyone to earn money, gift cards, and other rewards by doing simple things like completing surveys, searching the web, downloading apps, and more.

Are GPT Sites Legit?
Yes, GPT sites are legit. Many of them have paid out hundreds of thousands (some even millions) of dollars to their users over many years of service.
But, there are scams as well. In fact, the GPT space is notorious for scammers.
I've heavily researched the sites I'm going to be mentioning in this guide to confirm their legitimacy, but if you're going to try out a site that's not mentioned here (or anywhere on Swift Salary), proceed with caution.
Here are some obvious red flags you can look for to spot a scam:
- Grammar and spelling mistakes – One or two might be okay. More than that? I'd stay away.
- Membership fees – If they ask you to pay in order to play, run far, far away.
- Crazy income claims – They say you can earn $1,000 a day or quit your job with ease? Please leave!
(I tried to make all of those rhyme. Sorry. That was really bad.)
Who Can Use GPT Sites or Apps?
Well first off, you'll obviously need a smartphone or computer to access GPT apps or sites. Other than that, the requirements are pretty open.
The two main criteria all GPT sites look at are:
- Your location – Many GPT sites are open internationally and even worldwide, so finding one that supports your country shouldn't be a problem. That being said, people from the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, or Australia seem to have the best offers.
- Your age – Some GPT platforms set their age requirements as low as 13 years old, making GPT a great way for teens to make money.
Other than that, you'll need an email address (I recommend creating a new one – more on why below) to sign up for the sites or apps you plan on using. That's pretty much it!
How Do GPT Sites Work?
GPT sites are essentially middle-men. Most of the paid tasks that GPT sites offer to their users come from 3rd party offer walls and survey routers. When a user completes a task through one of these, the 3rd party pays the GPT site, and the GPT site shares some of those earnings with the user.
Here's a crudely drawn diagram to explain this process:

This is essentially affiliate marketing (which is one of the main ways I make money blogging).
By hosting 3rd party offers, GPT sites can provide a ton of paid tasks to their users without much effort. The 3rd party wins, the GPT site wins, and the users win. Everybody wins.
There is one big catch though:
Because of this system, you'll typically find the same offer walls (e.g. Appen, Hideout.tv, OfferToro, Peanut Labs, etc.) and survey routers (e.g. YourSurveys, TheoremReach, etc.) spread across multiple GPT sites.
Let me show you what I mean:



I could show you more examples, but I'm sure you get the point.
Keep in mind, sometimes 3rd party surveys and offers are more integrated into GPT sites. They're not always as obvious as in the examples above.
Why are the same offer walls and survey routers spread across multiple GPT sites?
By allowing multiple GPT sites to host them, the 3rd parties who create the offer walls are able to reach a huge number of users. Way more than if they were to only offer their tasks on their own site.
Does that mean all GPT sites have the same paid tasks?
Not necessarily.
Even though you'll find the same offer walls and survey routers spread across multiple GPT sites, you'll also find GPT sites with their own unique offers, surveys, and tasks.
Also, here's a fun little factoid for ya:
Each individual GPT site gets to set the payout rates for their offer walls.
That means an offer on one GPT site could pay more or less than the exact same offer on another GPT site. For that reason, it's worth comparing between sites to see who pays better for a particular task.
On top of that:
Some GPT sites have their very own offers/surveys/paid tasks as well. They don't always come from third-party advertisers.
For example, Swagbucks has it's own paid trivia game and other unique features. Qmee has it's own paid search tool and paid pop quizzes. Gain.gg offers a daily login reward. InstaGC has contests and raffles.
I could go on and on, but here's the bottom line:
No two GPT sites are identical. Many have similarities, yes, but they're never the exact same.
Ways to Make Money on GPT Sites
- Completing surveys
- Watching videos
- Clicking ads
- Playing games
- Reading emails
- Searching the web
- Signing up for sites, offers, and trials
- Shopping and earning cashback
- Downloading apps
- Listening to music/radio stations
- Completing micro-tasks
- Entering codes
- Referring friends
- etc.
How Do GPT Sites Make Money?
There's a good chance that after seeing some of tasks above, you're wondering why anyone would pay you to do such simple, mindless work.
As mentioned above, generally, GPT sites make money by acting as middle-men. They earn a commission by referring people to other companies, products, and services.
Do GPT sites sell personal data?
Yes and no. Most GPT sites will share demographic information (like your gender, marital status, employment status, etc.) with third parties in order to provide you with more earning opportunities.
However, all the legitimate sites I've come across don't sell or share personally identifiable information like your name or email address without your consent. That would be pretty messed up.
Are Legit GPT Sites Safe?
For the most part, yes. However, just because a GPT platform isn't a straight up scam, doesn't mean it's completely safe either. Even legitimate GPT sites have their security flaws.
For example, some third-party offers and surveys found on GPT sites can be pretty sketchy. Use your common sense and avoid anything that asks for too much personal information.
Also, watch out for offers that ask you to install computer software. Be sure to verify that it's a legit piece of software first (look for reviews on Google/Reddit) and have an anti-malware program (I recommend Malwarebytes free) installed just in case.
Lastly, be aware that GPT extensions that provide notifications for cashback and other things (like the Swagbucks extension) typically track your browsing activity in order to function properly. It's a bit creepy, but it's the only way for them to be able to tell when you're on a site with available deals.
In the end:
You're always going to give up a bit of privacy by using GPT sites, but with the proper precautions, you can keep your sensitive info and devices safe.
How Much Do GPT Sites Pay?
The overall earning potential on GPT sites is low. It's possible to make $3-5 an hour (or more) with certain tasks, but the average rate is $1-$2 an hour. That's because the majority of tasks on GPT sites pay very little, while the higher-paying tasks are few and far between.
Is it possible to earn more?
Yeah, you can definitely earn more than $2/hour. It's all about picking and choosing offers that will pay you the best rates with the littlest amount of effort. Of course, that's easier said than done, and some factors are out of your control.
In fact, when it comes to making money with GPT sites or apps, there are five main factors that can affect your income:
First, the Site
As mentioned above, the owners of GPT sites get to determine how much each task on their site pays out. That's why the same offer across multiple sites might pay different amounts in each place.
On top of that, since each site typically has its own set of tasks (both 1st party and 3rd party), some sites are just more lucrative than others.
Second, Your Demographics
Based on your demographics, you might have more success on one GPT site than another. But, your friend might have the opposite experience.
For example:
Lets say Jimmy the GPT guy is 28 years old, lives in the US, is married and has a kid. He uses Swagbucks and PrizeRebel in his spare time to make some extra cash. Doing the same type of tasks on both sites, he makes around $5/hour on Swagbucks but only $2/hour on PrizeRebel.
On the other hand, Janet the GPT girl is 40 years old, single, living in Canada, and she loves cats. She gives Swagbucks and PrizeRebel a go and makes around $6/hour on PrizeRebel, but a measly $1/hour on Swagbucks.
What was going on in these completely theoretical made up scenarios? Demographics were at play! PrizeRebel clearly had more opportunities for people like Janet, while Swagbucks worked better for Jimmy.
In other words:
Things like your location, occupation, age, and other factors will greatly influence which earning opportunities you have access to.
“Ok, so can't I just create a fake persona to game the system?”
Aha! Good thinking. You technically could, but it's a bad idea for a few reasons:
- You never know which demographic is going to be in high demand, so it'll be a guessing game. And probably a waste of time.
- GPT sites catch on to fraud pretty quickly, and they bring the ban hammer down just as fast; and
- Lying about your demographics lowers the quality of the GPT space as a whole. This affects the people who are trying to make honest cash on the platforms.
So what CAN you do? Fill out your demographics/profile honesty and fully on each site you use, and test out new sites every once in a while. More tips below.
Third, The Time and Day
GPT sites receive new offers on a daily basis, so consistency is key. By logging onto your sites each day, you'll increase your chances of finding worthwhile work.
If anything, try to check for new offers Monday through Friday. The PrizeRebel team once reported that that's when most new surveys and offers are added.
Tip: Be sure to also experiment with the time of day you use your GPT sites. You might find that nighttime is when more offers are available versus daytime.
Fourth, Your Device
Some GPT offers are only available on particular devices. That means you might find different ways to earn if you access a site from your iPhone vs. your desktop PC.
On top of that, some GPT apps are only available on mobile, and some are even exclusive to a single platform (e.g. App store vs. Google Play store).
And Fifth, the Type of Task
There's really no “minimum wage” in the GPT space. It's basically a gong show. Each different task will require a different amount of effort and yield a different amount of cash.
Example #1:
A 10-minute survey from one provider might pay $1.50, but another 10-minute survey from a different provider might pay only $0.10.
Just look at these 3 surveys on Qmee:

Although time estimates aren't always accurate, you can see how much the pay varies. The so called 8 minute survey pictured above pays more than the 24 minute and 15 minute surveys!
Why the difference?
Well, the 8 minute survey is probably looking for a more specific group of people than the other two surveys, which means it might be harder to qualify for.
Example #2:
There are some high-paying but infrequent tasks like trial offers. These pay crazy amounts, but you can only do them once.
Like this one on Swagbucks:

It would take me 10 minutes max to sign up for Borrowell and I'd earn an easy 300 Swagbucks ($3). That's technically a rate of $18/hour, but it's not repeatable or consistent.
Example #3:
Passive opportunities like watching paid videos on GPT sites is an easy way to make money, but because of that, it pays pennies. Still, since it takes no effort, it's pretty worthwhile.
In the end:
GPT sites will almost never make you enough money to live off. (Unless you're extremely frugal.)
Still, with the right knowledge and tactics (work smart!) you can make a decent amount of extra cash.
Just remember that instead of trying to grind for hours, it's better to be picky with which tasks you choose to complete. That way, you can choose the ones that either pay semi-decently, are fun to do, or take little to no effort.
GPT Earnings Examples
Almost every month, Reddit user TheMightyOx creates a “Who Paid You” thread on the Beermoney subreddit. In it, hundreds of users share their beermoney (extra money) earnings.
Many of those earnings come from GPT sites.
Here are a few examples:






Some of these earning reports include income from things that aren't GPT sites (e.g. MTurk, UserTesting, etc.). I'll talk more about those below.
These are just meant to give you an idea on how much some people are able to make per month with Get Paid To sites, and to show you that it really is possible to earn some extra cash with these sites.
Even small amounts can have a huge impact on a budget!
GPT Rewards and Payment Methods
All GPT apps and sites offer different payment methods and rewards (I'll list them for each site/app below). The most common include:
- PayPal cash
- Gift cards (Amazon, Visa, Mastercard, Starbucks, and tons more depending on the site)
- Cryptocurrency (Bitcoin is the most common, but I've seen litecoin, ethereum, bitcoin cash, and more). Note that some sites require users to have a Coinbase account to cash out via crypto.
- Direct deposit (not super common, but some sites do offer this)
- Check
- Physical rewards (like how my friend got a PS3)
As you'll soon find out, some GPT sites will offer a single payment method while others will offer multiple.
Pros and Cons of GPT Sites
After learning about how GPT sites work and how much they pay, you may be wondering if any of this is even worth the time. Before we answer that question, here's an overview of the pros and cons of GPT sites:
Pros
- No skills required – Making money with Get Paid To sites is probably about as easy as it gets when it comes to making money online.
- Open to teens – Even 13 year olds can make money with GPT!
- Flexible work – There's no boss or schedule when it comes to this side hustle. Work where you want, when you want.
- Many ways to earn – The main feature of GPT sites is that they offer a variety of different tasks at any given time, with new offers being added every day.
- Lots of payout options – Some people love working on GPT sites because they use them to earn gift cards or physical products. Not many other money-making opportunities offer such unorthodox payout methods.
- Free money – Some of the tasks on GPT sites are literally free money. For example, if you're going to sign up for a certain service anyway, and a GPT site offers to pay you to sign up for it, that's a no-brainer. Plus, some GPT sites will give you money just for signing up to their site (as you'll see below).
- Mindless work – Most GPT tasks can be completed while watching TV or Youtube. So easy a caveman could do it!
Cons
- Low earnings – With easy work comes low pay. When you take into account the frequency of work available in the GPT space and the earnings per task, it definitely doesn't add up to “quit your job” type money. It's more like “found a dollar in my pant pocket” type money.
- Many GPT sites host the same tasks – Although there is a lot of work available, as you use different GPT sites, you'll notice most of them employ the same offer walls and survey routers and therefore have very similar tasks.
- Spammy links – Going to some of the sites that GPT offers link out can feel a bit like accidentally ending up in Knockturn Alley – sketchy.
- Survey disqualifications – A lot of people experience frequent disqualifications with the surveys found on GPT sites. This is extremely annoying, especially when it happens after you've already been doing the survey for 5+ minutes. For this reason, some people avoid GPT site surveys altogether.
- Offers will occasionally not credit – Just as survey DQs happen, certain GPT offers (like trials, website sign-ups, app downloads, etc.) will sometimes glitch and not credit, even when you complete them properly.
- You may get wrongly banned – Even legitimate sites sometimes make mistakes and ban users who’ve done nothing wrong. If this happens to you, contact support nicely and try to appeal the ban.
- Earnings vary greatly based on demographics – Location is a BIG factor. People from the USA, Canada, United Kingdom, and Australia will usually have more opportunities than those from other countries.
- The work is boring – Mindless work isn't exactly exciting.
Are GPT Sites Worth It?
That depends on what you're looking for.
If you really need cash, you could earn more money in less time by landing a part-time job. A gig at McDonald's would pay more.
There are also other, better ways to make money online if offline employment isn't an option for you. For example, try starting at path two or three of my guide on how to start working from home.
Other than that:
GPT sites and other ‘Get Paid To' opportunities are only really good for making extra cash. They offer easy money, nice rewards, and a ton of flexibility.
What to Do Before Getting Started
Create a new email address specifically for GPT. This is essential for two main reasons:
- Organization – Some GPT sites send new offers straight to your email inbox as they become available, which is nice, but it can get messy when it mixes with your primary inbox.
- Spam protection – Even though legit GPT sites won't typically sell or share your email address with random folk, leaks are always a possibility. Starting with a fresh email address gives you some protection against spam.
For your second email, I recommend using Gmail as it's the most widely accepted. But, other email providers like Outlook, Yahoo, Proton Mail, etc. can work too.

PrizeRebel is another OG GPT site, founded in 2007. It's similar to Swagbucks, but it has a cool leveling system that sets it apart. As you earn more points, you'll rank up from the Bronze level all the way to Diamond. Along the way, you'll increase your referral commissions, get bonus earnings, and get discounted gift card prizes, along with other perks.
8. GG2U (Free Bonus Money After 5 Payouts)

- Who can join: Anyone in the world 13 years or older.

GG2U isn't the flashiest looking site, but it has a lot of offer walls (some that I haven't really seen anywhere else) and other paid tasks. They even have some unique gaming offers, with some paying as high as $15.
Cool feature: After 5 payouts, you'll receive a Golden Token which you can redeem for a minimum $1 bonus, up to $7.
9. InstaGC (Best for Paid Video Watching)

InstaGC is a lesser-known GPT site with a nice community chatbox, sports betting, prize pots, and more. Plus, it has a clean layout and plenty of offer walls to choose from.
They offer a ton of gift card options too, and a low $1 minimum payout. Oh, and they have their own paid video player (which is my favorite feature).
10. Gain.gg (Easy Daily Bonus Money)

- Who can join: Most countries, 13 years or older.
- Average earning potential: $1-$2/hour.
- Ways to earn: Surveys, offers, micro-tasks, apps, videos, referrals.

- Learn more: Review coming soon.
Gain.gg is another lesser-known site that's worth checking out. If you sign up, be sure to log in every day and head to the Gain.gg offer wall to claim your daily bonus. Easy money! Also, if you sign up through Steam and add Gain.gg to your username, they'll give you a 5% earnings increase.
11. GamerMine (Paid Steam Gaming and Lucrative Daily Bonus)

- Who can join: Anyone in the world 13 years or older.
- Average earning potential: $1-$2/hour.
- Ways to earn: Surveys, offers, videos, mini-games, games, app installs, bonuses, referrals.

- Payment speed: 24 hours.
- Sign up bonus: Random bonus item. Sign up here.
- Learn more: Review coming soon.
GamerMine is similar to TreasureTrooper in that it has a fun game-like feel, but it definitely feels much more modern than TT. There's an inventory system with items that can boost your earnings, unique mini-games like dice rolling or coin flips, a chat system, easy daily bonus money, and more.
Your daily bonus increases with your level: As you complete offers and refer friends to GamerMine, your level increases. The number of coins you get from your daily bonus = Your level x 2 (e.g. if you're level 100, you get 200 coins free from the daily bonus). For reference, 500 coins = $0.25.
Cool feature: Like Gain.gg you can attach your Steam account for extra earnings on GamerMine. But, GamerMine even pays you based on your hours played on certain Steam games, which is pretty sick.
12. MyPoints (Best GPT for Cashback and Coupons)

- Who can join: Anyone in the United States or Canada 13 years or older.
- Average earning potential: $1-$2/hour (the best opportunities here are the money-saving ones).
- Ways to earn: Surveys, offers, searching the web, games, cashback, coupons, deals, referrals.
- Payout options: PayPal, gift cards (Amazon, Nintendo, Starbucks, and more).
- Minimum payout: $3.
- Payment speed: 4-5 days.
- Sign up bonus: None, but you'll get a $5 bonus after you complete 5 surveys. Sign up here.
- Learn more: Review coming soon.
MyPoints is another GPT site owned by Prodege, so again, it has some of the same offers as Swagbucks and YSense. BUT, the best part of MyPoints is the cashback offers. They have a coupon section powered by Coupons.com that pays you 1 point per printed coupon (up to 500/month), and 25 points for each coupon used.
If you're going to use MyPoints for anything, use it for saving money on groceries.
13. InboxDollars (Paid Emails)

- Who can join: Anyone in the US, Canada, or UK 13 years or older.
- Average earning potential: $1-$2/hour.
- Ways to earn: Surveys, offers, searching the web, games, cashback, coupons, deals, paid emails, referrals.
- Payout options: PayPal, gift cards.
- Minimum payout: $30.
- Payment speed: 1-2 business days.
- Sign up bonus: $5. Sign up here.
- Learn more: Review coming soon.
InboxDollars is one of the last GPT sites I've seen still running paid emails, but don't get your hopes up. They pay very poorly ($0.02 each). But, it's easy cash – you just click the email when it arrives in your inbox.
Unfortunately, this site has a huge minimum payout ($30). Also, it's owned by Prodege, so many of the surveys are similar to Swagbucks and My Points.
Note: If you're in Canada, InboxDollars is called DailyRewards. If you're in the UK, it's called InboxPounds.
14. Earnably

- Who can join: Anyone 13 years or older.
- Average earning potential: $1-$2/hour.
- Ways to earn: Surveys, offers, app installs, promo codes, videos, referrals.
- Payout options: PayPal, gift cards.
- Minimum payout: $1.
- Payment speed: Instant.
- Sign up bonus: None. Sign up here.
- Learn more: Here
Earnably is honestly pretty generic, but the site is nice and clean, and they have a good selection of offer walls, survey routers, and paid app installs. Plus, they have a low minimum payout of $1, even for PayPal cash, so it's not hard to cash out here.
15. TimeBucks (Lots of Unique Opportunities)

- Who can join: Many countries, 13 years or older.
- Average earning potential: $1-$2/hour.
- Ways to earn: Surveys, offers, app installs, clicking ads, promo codes, videos, viewing slideshows, searching the web, answering captchas, referrals.
- Payout options: Payeer, Bitcoin, bank transfer (via Wise), Tango card, AirTM, Skrill, Neteller, and more.
- Minimum payout: $5.
- Payment speed: Payments are sent every Thursday.
- Sign up bonus: $1. Sign up here.
- Learn more: Review coming soon.
TimeBucks is a bit clunky at times, but they have a lot of unique paid tasks (and payment methods). For example, if you have a TikTok account with more than 1,000 followers you can get paid to post videos.
Things aren't always perfect but they're definitely trying to innovate, and they're very active in their community.
16. FusionCash (One of the OG GPT Sites)

- Who can join: Anyone in the US 13 years or older, or Canada 18 years or older.
- Average earning potential: $1-$2/hour.
- Ways to earn: Surveys, offers, app installs, videos, forum posting, micro tasks, payment proof photos, referrals.
- Payout options: PayPal cash.
- Minimum payout: $25.
- Payment speed: Payments are sent on the 20th of every month and take 1-3 business days to arrive.
- Sign up bonus: $5. Sign up here.
- Learn more: Review coming soon.
FusionCash, as mentioned above, was one of the first GPT sites I ever joined. The theme hasn't changed a bit in all these years, but the site still has an active community and new offers are added daily.
Some unique things you'll find here: paid forum posting bonuses, paid payment proof photos, and they clearly mark which sign up offers require a credit card and which don't, which is handy.
Some downsides of this site: High minimum cash out amount and your earnings expire in 180 days if you don't cash them out in time. Also, you can only get paid via PayPal.
17. QuickRewards (Around Since 2002!)

- Who can join: Anyone in the US or Canada 18 years or older.
- Average earning potential: $1-$2/hour.
- Ways to earn: Surveys, offers, shopping, videos, clicks, slideshows, shopping, games.
- Payout options: PayPal cash, physical rewards, gift certificates.
- Minimum payout: $0.01.
- Payment speed: 72 hours for e-payments, 1-2 weeks for physical gift cards.
- Sign up bonus: None. Sign up here.
- Learn more: Review coming soon.
QuickRewards is another GPT site that's a bit outdated and glitchy, but it has some unique offers (like their own game portal) and routers I've never seen before. They also have reward options like magazine subscriptions and movie tickets which is pretty cool, and a low $0.01 minimum for PayPal payments.
18. GrindaBuck (Unique VIP Rewards)

- Who can join: Anyone in the US, United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, or Australia 18 years or older.
- Average earning potential: $1-$2/hour.

- Minimum payout: As low as $1.
- Payment speed: 12 hours or less.
- Sign up bonus: 100 Grindabucks ($1). Sign up here.
- Learn more: Review coming soon.
GrindaBuck has a VIP reward system and monthly achievements that make it stand out. As you earn money and gain levels, you'll unlock more rewards and lower cashout requirements. If you meet monthly challenges or top the monthly earnings leaderboard, you can receive big payment bonuses.
19. RewardXP (Discord Community)

- Who can join: Anyone in the world 13 years or older.
- Average earning potential: $1-$2/hour.
- Ways to earn: Surveys, offers, videos, app installs, signups, desktop and mobile games, giveaways and contests, referrals.
- Payout options: Steam cash, Robux, Riot points, Discord Nitro, PayPal cash, Bitcoin, Prepaid visa, gift cards.
- Minimum payout: As low as $1.
- Payment speed: 72 hours.
- Sign up bonus: 5,000 XP ($0.50). Sign up here.
- Learn more: Review coming soon.
RewardXP is another heavily gamer-focused GPT site (hence the name) and to support that they have a fair share of gaming offers along with a Discord community and other communities in places like Roblox. They also have a leveling system that awards new offers, increased referral bonuses, and reward discounts.
Top GPT Apps
Most of the GPT sites above offer apps or have mobile-friendly websites. Be sure to check those out first if you already have an account with some of them.
For more opportunities, here are some other GPT apps you can try:
Drop

- Who can join: Anyone in the US or Canada 18 years or older.
- Average earning potential: $1-$2/hour.
- Ways to earn: Cashback (online and in-store), surveys, exclusive games, app installs, referrals,
- Payout options: Gift cards (Amazon, Starbucks, Uber, Hotels.com, and many more).
- Minimum payout: $25 (25,000 points).
- Payment speed: Instant.
- Sign up bonus: $1 (1,000 points). Sign up here.
- Learn more: Review coming soon.
Drop originally made their name in the cashback space by offering easy (basically effortless) cashback for purchases made on a linked debit or credit card. Most of their focus is still on that, but they've also expanded their app to offer additional things like paid surveys, fun little exclusive arcade type games that pay, and more.
This is probably my favorite of all the GPT apps, just because of their paid basketball game called Hoops. Highly recommend.
Caddle

- Who can join: Anyone in Canada 16 years or older.
- Average earning potential: $1-$2/hour.
- Ways to earn: Cashback, scanning receipts, surveys, reviews, referrals.
- Payout options: Check.
- Minimum payout: $20.
- Payment speed: Up to 60 days for the physical check to arrive.
- Sign up bonus: None. Sign up here.
- Learn more: Review coming soon.
Caddle is another cash back app that also hosts survey offers. I find the selection of offers to not always be the best, but sometimes there are a few gems. New offers are added every Thursday.
FeaturePoints

- Who can join: Anyone 13 years or older.
- Average earning potential: $1-$2/hour.
- Ways to earn: Surveys, offers, cash back, contests, app downloads, referrals.
- Payout options: Gift cards, PayPal, prepaid Visa, Bitcoin (via Coinbase).
- Minimum payout: $2.
- Payment speed: Up to 3 business days.
- Sign up bonus: 50 points (~10 cents). Sign up here or use code “swiftsalary” for the bonus.
- Learn more: Review coming soon.
FeaturePoints has a web version, but they're in a unique position where their GPT apps on Apple and Andoid seem more popular for earning. This is probably because the app has an exclusive “Win” section that allows you to enter contests and scratch tickets for prizes, in exchange for tokens (which you can earn for free).
Other than that, FeaturePoints has the basic offerings, though it is lacking in offer walls. The app downloads are probably the best opportunity here. Oh, and the referral program is killer (earn up to 50% of referral earnings).
Checkout 51

- Who can join: Anyone in Canada or the US 16 years or older.
- Average earning potential: Varies greatly for different tasks.
- Ways to earn: Cashback offers, surveys, receipt scanning, sweepstakes, paid videos.
- Payout options: Check, direct deposit, PayPal (only some users).
- Minimum payout: $20.
- Payment speed: 15-30 days for check, 4-5 business days for other.
- Sign up bonus: None. Sign up here.
- Learn more: Checkout 51 review.
Checkout 51 is (another) GPT app that's primarily used for cashback (it's one of the best cashback apps IMO) but they also offer paid surveys and videos. The videos typically pay $0.03 each, the surveys vary.
Warning: Beware of downloading GPT apps from the Google Play or App Store just because they have high ratings. Many apps entice new users to give a 5* review in exchange for points or money, so a lot of many reviews are disingenuous. Read the more critical reviews to really see how the app is.
How to Get Started with GPT Sites (The Right Way)
Step 1. Sign Up for a Few GPT Sites/Apps
The key word here is a few. Don't go overboard right out the gate.
Which sites you pick doesn't really matter, just pick the ones that you like the look of. Different sites work better for different people, so there's no way to easily predict which sites will work best for you. Test and find out!
You could even start with just a single site here, but 3-5 is best.
Step 2. Get My Free GPT Income Tracker
Tracking your GPT earnings might seem like a waste of time but it'll actually help you make more money. As you track, you'll be able to easily see which sites and tasks are making you the most money.
Plus, having a place to keep track of all the different sites and apps you're using is super handy.
Learn more and/or download the income tracker here.
After you're signed up to a few sites, add them to the tracker. Then, be sure to actually use it to keep track of every GPT task, offer, survey, etc. that you complete.
Step 3. Start Slow
Speaking of completing GPT tasks, if you’re new to a GPT site, don’t go all Leeroy Jenkins right away filling in dozens of offers a day. Most sites will find this suspicious, and it might cause your account to get flagged.
Instead, start slow with a couple of offers a day on each site. Over time, you can start ramping things up. This should keep your account (and sanity) in good standing.
This is another good reason to sign up for multiple GPT apps and sites when you’re first starting out. That way you can fill out some offers on one site or app, then move to the next.
Step 4. Track Everything and Keep Evidence
As mentioned above, for each paid task you complete, note it down in the income tracker. On top of that, it's a good idea to keep evidence of every offer you successfully complete.
For example, if you complete a signup offer, take a screenshot of the completion screen. That way, if you aren't credited for the offer later on, you have proof that you completed it. Send that proof to the support team of the site and they should credit you.
Step 5. Experiment With New Sites, Offers, and Strategies
At this point, you've been using your starter GPT apps/sites for a while and tracking everything along the way. If you like what you have going, keep at it! No need to change what ain't broke.
But, if you think things could be better, try adding one or two new sites/apps to your roster, switch up your routine a bit, and compare your earnings overtime.
Consistency and experimentation is key if you want to make the most of this hustle.
Bonus Step: Refer Other Users!
Here's a little not-so-secret tip:
The big money with GPT sites and apps is in the referrals. The more people you refer, the more money you can earn.
For example, I get paid $2-$3 every time I refer someone to Swagbucks.
In order to get a lot of referrals though, you'll need some sort of traffic source. For that, you could start a blog, make Youtube videos, create a Facebook page, etc. There are tons of options. You can even start with just referring your friends and family.
Just don't spam your link unethically.
More GPT Tips
I've mentioned a lot of various tips throughout this guide so far, but here are a handful more:
- Turn off your adblocker – If a site isn't working properly for you, or offers aren't crediting, an ad blocker is the most likely culprit. Since GPT sites pretty much run off advertising, ad blockers cause problems. Be sure to disable yours (or whitelist the sites you use) for the best experience.
- Don't use a VPN – Be careful even logging into your GPT accounts from different locations. A lot of sites will see this as fraudulent activity (especially VPN usage) and ban your account.
- Take advantage of daily bonuses – Many GPT sites have a daily bonus, checklist, or other tasks available for easy earnings.
- Don't always go for the highest paying surveys – This can seem like the right strategy but the higher-paying surveys are usually harder to qualify for. Focus on $/hour rather than $/survey. Medium to low paying surveys can be easier to qualify for.
- Make it a habit – I'm probably repeating myself by now, but consistency is key with any money-making endeavor, including GPT!
Other Ways to Get Paid To
These aren't traditional GPT sites/apps but they fit the bill of simple, online work that doesn't require any special skills (or much effort).
Get Paid to Take Surveys
While most GPT sites offer paid surveys, using survey sites is like going directly to the source. Most of the time, these sites pay more per survey because they don't have to go through a middle man.
Some popular paid survey sites include:
Get Paid to Participate In Focus Groups
Focus groups are similar to paid surveys, but much more…focused. Instead of recruiting hundreds or thousands for a survey, focus groups take the “less is more” approach and typically only interview a small group of people.
This means that most focus groups are harder to qualify for, but they also pay a lot more money. Some have earned $100+ for a single study.
Try Respondent or User Interviews to get started. Craigslist can be a good place to find local groups as well.
Get Paid to Click Ads
Some GPT sites have PTC (Pay-to-Click) ads, but they're becoming less and less common. Still, more dedicated PTC sites still exist like Neobux and Paidverts (review) (spoiler: they pay very poorly).
Get Paid to Shop
Cashback sites like Rakuten and other opportunities like Shopkick allow you to make money shopping, sometimes without even having to spend a dime (although most times you'll have to spend in order to earn anything).
Get Paid to Scan Receipts
Similarly to getting paid to shop, with certain receipt scanning apps, you can get paid to either upload photos of certain types of receipts, or receipts with particular products on them. IBotta and Checkout 51 are two very popular apps for this.
Get Paid to Exercise
Sweatcoin and other apps that pay you to walk have created the easiest passive income sources ever. All you have to do is move your legs!
The downside? You'll be making pennies. That should be expected though.
That being said, certain exercise rewards apps like HealthyWage (which pays you up to $10,000 to lose weight), offer big payout opportunities.
Get Paid to Test Sites and Apps
This is one of my favorite get paid to opportunities. All you need to know is how to use a computer or smartphone, and you can earn $15-$30/hour doing usability tests.
To get started, check out this list of sites that pay you to test websites and apps.
The catch with these is that similarly to focus groups, work is scarce. Don't expect more than a few paid user tests a month.
Get Paid to Search the Web
GPT sites like Swagbucks, Treasure Trooper, and Qmee all have their own paid to search features, but another easy way to earn with searches is with Bing. As you search with Bing you'll earn Microsoft Rewards points which can be exchanged for gift cards.
I know I know, most people still think Bing sucks. Honestly though, it's gotten a lot better.
Get Paid to Test Products
Some sites like Pinecone Research, Ipsos i-Say, PINCHme, and BzzAgent will send you products to test out and then pay you to write honest, unbiased reviews of them.
Get Paid to Sell Your Data
Yes, this is a real thing. It doesn't involve selling sensitive data like your social security number or bank account passwords though if that's what you're thinking.
Instead, certain apps exist that will pay you to allow them to collect data on things like your:
- Internet browsing habits
- Mobile app usage
- TV watching habits
Is this dangerous? Well, these apps don't collect sensitive data or read your texts, emails, or passwords. That would be pretty sketchy.
Personally, I still don't use these apps as the pay just doesn't seem worth it (you'll earn around $5 for each app install/device on average). That being said, I'm sure tons of things out there are already tracking and stealing my data for free, so maybe I'm the dumb one.
If you're interested or want to learn more, some of the most popular opportunities here are Nielsen Computer Mobile Panel, Smart App, MobileXpression, and Survey Savvy.
Get Paid to Share Your internet
With bandwidth sharing apps like Honeygain and Packetstream, you'll get paid to share your unused internet as part of a peer-to-peer proxy network. Just beware that this does come with some potential safety concerns.
Get Paid to Complete Micro Tasks
Micro tasks are short little jobs that usually involve things like data entry, image analysis, AI training, and plenty more. Basically, if a human can do it better than a computer, it's probably a micro job.
Amazon's Mechanical Turk and Clickworker are two of the biggest sites for this. Check out my guide to micro job sites for more ideas.
Get Paid to Review Music
With a little site called Slice the Pie you can turn your love of music into a pretty horribly paid GPT gig! Oops…not the best sales pitch there. But seriously, Slice the Pie is a cool idea, and they DO pay, but the pay rate is so low for the quality of reviews they expect.
Get Paid to Test Games
A lot of the GPT apps and sites above have paid mobile games and desktop games. However, sites like PlayTestCloud double-down on this type of work, allowing you to make money testing mobile apps and PC games. Read our PlayTestCloud review to learn more about how this works.
Mistplay is another similar opportunity that focuses solely on paid gaming. They enable you to earn money by playing an array of different mobile games. Read our Mistplay review to learn more.
Get Paid to Upload Videos
Nope, not with Youtube. Instead, sites like Jukin Media, Newsflare, Rumble, and others will help you license potentially viral videos and short clips. How? By selling them to news publications and press websites.
To learn more, check out this guide to selling videos online.
Get Paid to Transcribe
This avenue requires more skill, but if you're willing to put in the work, there are a handful of work from home transcription jobs that don't require experience.
Just be warned:
Transcription is hard work, and the pay is low on the beginner sites. To see what I mean, check out my beginner transcription guide. Low pay + hard work = a waste of time for most.
The best paid transcriptionists work for private clients like Youtubers, Podcasters, etc. Take this free mini-course to learn more about that side of the industry.
Get Paid to Solve Captchas
Yes, this is a real opportunity. Sites like 2Captcha will really pay you to solve captchas. That said, I'll warn you right now that it pays horribly. For most people, it won't be worth the time.
Still, if you're interested and want to learn more, read our full guide to captcha entry jobs.
Watch Ads
There are a few different platforms that will pay you to watch ads. Check them out here.
Final Thoughts
The idea of GPT sites is extremely intriguing at first.
“Wow, I can get paid to do stuff I'm already doing?” Is almost everyone's initial reaction.
…The reality sets in quickly once you actually start trying to make money. Most people will get started, realize it's not what they expected, and give up for good.
But, there are outliers; A select few who keep at it and end up earning up to thousands a year with GPT tasks.
Wherever you fit in, I hope you found this GPT guide helpful. Even just an extra $50-$100 can be huge, so good luck!

hello dear Can I use autoplay on these sites
Last time I checked, I believe you can with the ones that offer Hideout.tv. It seems like autoplay/paid to watch opportunities are getting worse and worse though recently…
Can you add DropGC?
