Best Survey Sites
This site is designed to give you the best information on legitimate survey sites and provide you with an up to date list on what are the best online survey sites out there as it can vary over time.
I have been taking online surveys for several years now and have seen just about every site out there and also every scam. My full time income is generated from survey sites and educating others on how to generate an income with surveys. I have laid out what, from my experience, are the best online survey sites below. Although I will be adding a dedicated scams page to name and shame the offending sites that don’t pay, as a general rule of thumb do not pay to join ANY survey site. In fact, a survey site should reward you for coming to them in the first place!
Ok, so without further delay, here’s my list of the best online survey sites:
1. CashCrate
As you can probably tell by my proud screenshot of CashCrate income to the right, this is the top survey and offers site out there. The number of offers you can complete, the time it takes to complete these and the generous referral scheme make it the market leader. Here are a few quick facts about this site:
- Minimum Age to do surveys – Just 13
- 1st Tier Referral Earnings – 20%
- 2nd Tier Referral Earnings – 10%
- Extra Bonus – $3 for any referral that earns $10
- Allows international membership
- Payment Method – By Check or PayPal
- Membership Fee – Free to join
A reason why some people sometimes call survey sites a scam is because they don’t know how they work. Therefore, I highly recommend you watch this video to see how simple it actually is!
The payouts for each offer may not seem that significant at first, but when you take into account the fact that it only takes a minute or two to complete each offer, it soon builds up. Many people earn anything from $30 to $50 an hour. The referral scheme also tops this up nicely. I recommend at first, get started started with the offers that are 100% free (filter offers by this option). Once you understand how it all works, then experiment with the different offer types. As I mentioned, this should be the first site that you register with and starting earning from.
2. Coming in at number 2 is SurveySavvy. Unlike CashCrate where you login and then complete offers, SurveySavvy emails you surveys when they have them available. I got a $40 survey through the other day which I was pretty pleased about! However, some surveys pay less and I don’t get survey requests as often as I’d like.
The following survey sites are all worth registering with, particularly if you want a change from CashCrate. The thing with survey sites is you can’t be too sure when the next survey will come through and therefore it’s essential that you register with a handful of them to make sure you’re always able take a survey from somewhere. Here are the runners up (but which are all still pretty damn good!):
4. Toluna
8. Opinion Surveys
All of these sites are 100% legit and are definitely the best online survey sites out there. As mentioned, register with as many as you think you can handle if you’re serious about generating an extra income online by taking surveys. I earn roughly $3,000 per month with all my survey sites combined.
Another tip is to register a separate email address that will handle all of the survey related emails. This may help you keep on top of things.
