---------------------------------------------
1️⃣ Mobrog
Link: MOBROG
Have they paid me: Yes
TLDR: Decent pay per surveys, i.e. £1 for 5 mins.
Notes: Relatively new site, available on mobile apps too. Instant £0.34p on signup with link, and £4 cash out option.
2️⃣ Google Opinion Rewards
Link: Google Opinion Rewards
Have they paid me: yes
TLDR: Quick surveys from Big Brother.
Notes: Google tracks your search history and your location. They send you brief (~6 question) surveys about both, and pay you £0.20-£0.50 each time. Credits can be used on the Play store, which is handy for completing game offers faster!
3️⃣ Opinium
Link: Opinium
Have they paid me: yes
TLDR: Usually surveys about politics.
Notes: A site with surveys that pay ~£0.50 for 5-10 minutes or £0.75 for 10-15 minutes, but I find that I complete the surveys much quicker than this. Mostly political surveys, mixed with current affairs. Payout threshold is £25, and you can get your money via bank transfer or a range of the usual vouchers.
4️⃣ Y-Live (was Populus Live)
Link: Y-Live
Have they paid me: No, but so so close.
TLDR: £1 per 5 minutes, top paying site.
Notes: Perhaps the second best paying survey site (after Prolific). Surveys are a mix of topics, make sure you pay attention for the attention-check questions. Pays via bacs transfer once you hit £50.
5️⃣ YouGov
Link: YouGov
Have they paid me: Yes
TLDR: A slow burner that can be sped up by sharing your bank account details.
Notes: YouGov is one of the most famous survey sites. But I only seem to get 1 or two surveys worth £0.50 each month. However, with YouGov Finance you get paid £5 in points for each bank account you link (you are selling them your data). Payment is when you hit £50 via bacs transfer.
---------------------------------------------
Hero-tier
Good for grinding out some earnings if you've exhausted the above (but boring)
---------------------------------------------
1️⃣ AttaPoll
Link: AttaPoll (£0.40 bonus for you, £0.20 bonus for me)
Have they paid me: Yes
TLDR: An endless list of surveys to complete on your phone.
Notes: An app with an endlessly updating list of surveys. AttaPoll is just a survey router (they do not make their own surveys). Pays out to PayPal, Revolut, or vouchers from as little as £2.50. If you fill in the profile questions properly, each survey will be given a star rating (how much it matches your profile). I usually check it when I am on the toilet and only do 3-5 star surveys that pay >£0.50 per 5 minutes. Avoid the low-paying trash surveys.
2️⃣ Freecash (or Swagbucks, they are the same company)
Link: Freecash (random $0.05 - $250 bonus)
Have they paid me: Yes
TLDR: Occasionally some decent paying surveys.
Notes: One of the better GPT sites that usually have some very nice offers. But there are also a lot of surveys on these sites. I've only every done the CPX surveys and the pay for these is reasonable. Payment is via PayPal, or various gift cards, or various cryptocurrencies
3️⃣ Inbox Pounds (or Swagbucks, they are the same company)
Link: Inbox Pounds (£1 bonus)
Have they paid me: Yes
TLDR: Occasionally some decent paying surveys.
Notes: Again, there are a lot of surveys on Inbox Pounds, but they are way better for sign up offers. That being said there are a lot of surveys on Inbox Pounds, and occasionally some very nice paying ones. You just have to hope your demographics match up. Payment is from £20 via PayPal, Amazon, Tesco, John Lewis, M&S vouchers. Or £50 for a prepaid mastercard.
4️⃣ IPSOS I-Say
Link: I-Say
Have they paid me: Yes
TLDR: ~£0.75 per 10 minutes, but sometimes sends you on an endless loop of qualifying questions.
Notes: i-Say has a survey website and app. Surveys are just the usual marketing stuff. Payout is from £10 in a host of vouchers.
5️⃣ LifePoints
I have never had a survey with LifePoints, but several other beermoneyUK users have lots of luck with this one. So it has been moved up the rankings.
Link: LifePoints
Have they paid me: No
6️⃣ PanelBase
Link: PanelBase
Have they paid me: yes
TLDR: Decent surveys and decent enough pay.
Notes: This is a survey website that you can access on your phone. Screenouts are rare. Sometimes it has screeners for larger market research studies. Payout is via bacs transfer or a couple of vouchers. I really like PanelBase, but I've moved it down in the rankings because it is just the usual market research surveys. The levels above are far more interesting.
7️⃣ RewardXP
Link; RewardXP ($0.50 bonus)
Have they paid me: yes
TLDR: RewardsXP has some alright survey payouts (75 cents for up to ten dynata ones per day) and some decent ones on the your sense page.
Notes: Another GPT site, but actually has some alright paying surveys.
8️⃣ StreetBees
Link: StreetBees --->Referral code 7853FT gets me £1.50, but I think this is one way!
Have they paid me: Yes
TLDR: Very brief surveys
Notes: This app has brief chat-style surveys, as well as opportunities for longer, better paying opportunities. Each "assignment" pays out directly to PayPal.
9️⃣ Testable Minds
Link: Testable minds ($1 bonus)
Have they paid me: Yes.
TLDR: Interesting surveys like Prolific, but not as many.
Notes: This is another academic-type site like Prolific. It has surveys and other social science type tests. Payout is via PayPal once you hit $10. It used to be higher in the ranking, but there really isn't very many surveys.
? Valued Opinions
Link: Valued Opinions
Have they paid me: Yes
TLDR: Lots of surveys and a decent pay rate.
Notes: Another site with lots of surveys and a low screenout rate once you fill out the profile surveys. You can complete a max of 10 surveys per day (I think this is limited to 5 to begin with). Payrate is generally around £3-£6/hour. Pays out in various vouchers from £10. I save up my earnings to get a £30 Mastercard.
---------------------------------------------
Man-tier
Good for the odd survey or specific surveys.
---------------------------------------------
Voxpopme (previously Influence)
Link: Voxpopme
Have they paid me: Yes
TLDR: Record 30-60 second videos answering questions, get paid £0.35-£0.50 each time. Sometimes there are higher paying (£5) surveys.
Notes: Voxpopme is a little bit different from normal survey sites. Rather than fill in boring forms, all you need to do is submit a video response answering the question. An example is "Do you prefer Coca-Cola or Pepsi? Why? Whats this brand doing better and what products do you normally buy?". Payment is in cash to PayPal from £10.
GG2U
Link: GG2U ($1 bonus)
Have they paid me: No
TLDR: Good for the $1.25 surveys.
Notes: GG2U is usually known for sign up offers. But following a tip on beermoneyuk, I signed up to do the $1.25 surveys and any other high paying ones. Payment is from $7 via PayPal or Bitcoin. I'm sitting just shy of my first cashout!
Paid Product Testing / Paid Focus Groups
Link: Paid Product Testing
Have they paid me: Yes
TLDR: A slow burner that can be sped up by sharing your Netflix/Amazon Prime viewing history.
Notes: Pays about £0.50 per 10 minutes, but has a good "share your viewing history" survey that only takes 2 minutes and pays £2.50 a go. Payment is from £10 by voucher.
PollPay
Link: PollPay ---> enter the referral code TQPEXMS92B for a £0.19 bonus.
Have they paid me: Yes
TLDR: Not many surveys, but the pay is okay.
Notes: Another survey router site. Seems to pay around £0.50 per 10 minutes. Payment is when you hit £10 via vouchers or PayPal.
ViewsBank
Link: ViewsBank
Have they paid me: Yes
TLDR: Pays you £5 a time for them getting insurance quotations in your name
Notes: Although this is a survey site, there are not many surveys. What they actually do is use your details to apply for insurance quotations. They pay you £5 a time. Pays out directly to your bank account once you hit £12.
---------------------------------------------
Lesser Man-tier
Sites that people seem to get on with, but they don't seem to like me much or I just don't like them.
---------------------------------------------
Curious Cat
Link: Curious Cat
Have they paid me: No
TLDR: Interesting concept.
Notes: I tried to get on with this app, but it often screened me out or the surveys.
NewVistaLive
Link: NewVistaLive
Have they paid me: No
TLDR: Like YouGov and Y-Live (not quite as well-paying), but not many surveys.
Notes: Pays out from £50. I am slowly working my way towards that, but only get one or two surveys a month.
OnePoll
Link: OnePoll
Have they paid me: No
TLDR: Brief surveys.
Notes: This site has very brief (~5 questions max) surveys that pay about 5p a go. Easy to do, but I just could not find the energy to continue on with it.
MSR Surveys
Link: MSR
Have they paid me: Yes
TLDR: Well paying daily tv/radio survey, but it just appears/dissapears too early in the morning for me.
Notes: I joined this because it has two quick daily surveys that pay ~£0.80. Unfortunately, there are only a limited number of spots, and I miss it every day. Minimum redemption is £10 via various vouchers.
Opinion Outpost
Link: Opinion Outpost
Have they paid me: Yes
TLDR: same company as Valued Opinions, but they pay less
Notes: See Valued Opinions. Payout here is from £2.50 via Amazon vouchers or PayPal though.
Qmee (but some would disagree)
Link: Qmee (£1 for you, nothing for me) --- Qmee
Have they paid me: Yes
TLDR: Like AttaPoll, but this site like me less.
Notes: See description of AttaPoll, but latest reports are that this has gone downhill.
TRP Surveys
Link: TRP Surveys
Have they paid me: Yes
TLDR: A daily "what did you watch" survey.
Notes: Each daily survey only takes a few minutes to do, but you have to do it for over a month (40 days) to get a £5 Amazon voucher. Just not all that worth it.
Toluna
Link: Toluna
Have they paid me: Yes
TLDR: Badly paying surveys, but I did this when I did not know any better.
Notes: I've been a member of Toluna for years, and I've earned a good amount in total. But most of the surveys pay badly. They do, however, have some large group chat based surveys that pay well. Recruitment for these is via the short surveys, but I never found a consistent way to access them
