8 BEST Paid Survey Sites That Actually Pay In 2025

Hey everyone, it's Ahmed here with ozearn.com and hope you're all having a fantastic day today. So 2025 is just around the corner, or maybe you're reading this article in 2025 right now. And so since we're entering 2025, you guys know it's time to review the best survey sites for 2025 like we do every single year on this blog.

Now, some of the survey sites in this article, I've cashed out over 150 to 200 and they're some of my all time favorites. But some of the other survey sites are ones I've never covered on this blog before and they're newer companies in the space.

So there's something in this one for everyone. There's some new sites, there's some classics, you don't want to miss it. Let's get to it.

Best paying survey sites

HeyCash

Alright guys, so just starting off with the first top survey site for 2025 that you guys can use is a new Rewards platform called HeyCash.

So HeyCash is a new GPT site that's available in dozens of different countries. And it's a site I've tested out recently, but I've never covered on the blog before.

And really one of the main reasons I wanted to start out with HeyCash is that it's available in dozens of countries. I mean, you can sign up for free in India, the United States, South Africa, Indonesia, Canada, the Philippines and plenty of other countries.

All you need to get started is your email. So signing up takes about 30 seconds or so. And once you sign up, you can begin answering surveys from your main dashboard to start earning.

Now, honestly, what I like about HeyCash is that the survey rates are pretty competitive and you can find surveys paying anywhere from, you know, 20 cents all the way to three or even $4 in some cases.

And what's also cool is that HeyCash has a star rating system, so you can spot surveys that have high disqualification rates because members rate surveys after they complete them. So you can kind of avoid the bad ones.

Now what's also cool about HeyCash is that once you answer five surveys, you unlock other options for earning with the site. The first option you unlock is its offer wall. And this is basically a way to get paid, download apps, play different fun games, try out free trials and shop online.

Now this offer wall, it's similar to sites like FreeCash or Kashkick. And you can find some pretty high paying offers, especially in the gaming section. You know, mobile gaming offers paying Anywhere from ten to a hundred dollars or more.

So if you like GPT sites and you want surveys and an offer wall, HeyCash has both. You just need to answer five surveys first to unlock everything.

What's also cool is that HeyCash has a daily leaderboard that pays out over $100 in daily bonuses to the top members, which is pretty cool.

There's also a streaks system, so if you log into the app every single day for seven days, you get the chance to win a $10 bonus, which is also pretty neat.

And finally there are also level up bonuses. So as you level up your account by earning, you get extra bonuses. Again, it's not going to pay you hundreds of dollars in bonuses, but it's nice that you get rewarded bit by bit for using HeyCash more and more.

What I also like about HeyCash is you only need $5 to cash out your first reward. There are tons of different options too, including some more unique ones. For example, you can redeem PayPal cash, but also Venmo or Revolut payments.

Charitable donations are also available and you can cash out over 100 different gift cards as well. What's also cool is that you only need five dol that first cash out. But after that some rewards only require a dollar to redeem.

So again, super competitive survey rates, really competitive rewards and a low cash out minimum. I also love that HeyCash is in dozens of different countries.

Five Surveys

The second top survey website for 2025 is another newer player in the space and it's called Five Surveys.

So Five Surveys is a free survey website available in North America, the uk, Australia, Germany and is expanding to other countries.

And what's really cool about Five Surveys that I like is that it pays you a dollar per survey. You know, there's no confusing point system, there's no converting coins or tokens into cash. It's just a buck per survey, simple as that.

It's also very user friendly, I like the ui, it's easy to use. I have a article on this blog testing out five surveys and I found the whole process pretty simple to earning my first reward and cashing out.

Now, like other survey sites out there, you do get disqualified sometimes, which can be frustrating. But again, I do like that you're getting a dollar per survey. So you can kind of cherry pick and find the surveys that don't take too much time. So you're earning as much per hour as possible.

Reward variety is also great. I mean, there's PayPal, there's bank transfers, and you can also redeem over 100 different gift cards to merchants like Amazon, Best Buy, Burger King, Walmart, Starbucks and uber eats.

Finally, Five Surveys also has a decent mobile app for Android and iOS. So if you like survey apps and earning while on the go, I definitely Recommend Checking out 5 surveys.

But yeah, if you think a dollar per survey is a decent rate, 5 surveys is for you. And so that's why I wanted to include it in this article. And I definitely think it's one of the better newer companies in the survey space.

Surveoo

All right guys, and coming at number three on the top survey sites for 2025 is a survey site called Surveoo.

And really one of the main reasons I want to highlight survey you in this article is that it's available in over 110 countries at the time of me making this article.

You know, I see you guys in the comments section all the time saying, hey, does this idea work in South Africa, the Philippines, Kenya, Nigeria, India? And I feel bad because a lot of the companies I cover as someone from North America are only available in North America.

So it's really nice to find a company out there that is really globally friendly like Surveoo. But anyways, guys, it's your stock standard survey site. I mean, you sign up for free with your email, you complete your profile and you can then answer available surveys that are on your main dashboard.

I tested it out in the past when I wrote a review about it. And again, you can find surveys paying pennies all the way up to two or three dollars. So again, pretty stock standard.

Now what I like about Surveoo, other than the fact it's internationally friendly, is that it lets you redeem PayPal cash as well as gift cards. So there's plenty of different earning options.

Now I will say the main downside is you need $20 US equivalent to cash out. So if you live in Canada, you'll need like $30 to cash out. If you live in South Africa, you'll need some amount of Rand to cash out. It has to be US$20 equivalent, which is frankly pretty high for the survey space.

But like I said, it's internationally friendly, it has tons of different surveys available. So I wanted to mention it in this article. And if other survey sites haven't worked for you because they're not in your country, definitely check out surveoo.

Branded Surveys

All right guys, and the fourth top survey site for 2025 you can use is a website called Branded Surveys.

And again, I couldn't really make a article on the top survey sites without mentioning branded surveys. It was in my 2024 version, and I think it still deserves to be in the top spots.

So Branded Surveys is a free survey site available in the United States, Canada and the uk. And like other survey sites, you sign up with your email, you complete your profile and then you're ready to go.

Now, right off of the bat, new members get a hundred point bonus when they complete their profile, which is worth $1. So that's one nice little, you know, perk of using Branded Surveys. And yeah, from there it's pretty decent. I mean, the survey rates are competitive, I found the UI pretty easy to use.

I have a article on this blog reviewing Branded Surveys. And yeah, the rewards are decent too. I mean, you only need $5 to cash out. There's PayPal, cash donations and tons of different free gift cards.

But the main reason I wanted to cover Branded Surveys again this year is because I think it has one of the best loyalty programs if you're a regular survey user.

So its loyalty program is called the Branded Elite Program and it pays you with bonus points every week if you answer enough surveys. It starts at a 5% boost with the bronze tier and goes as high as 19% bonuses with the gold tier.

And so again, if you're answering a lot of surveys per week, you can get up to 19% in extra cash just by being a regular member. So this is definitely one of the better sites out there if you answer surveys every single day.

The main downside is it's only available in a few countries. But again, if you live in North America or the uk, I definitely recommend checking out branded surveys.

Prime Opinion

All right, guys, and the fifth top survey site for you guys to check out this year is a survey site called Prime Opinion. Now this is another one I've reviewed on my Blog. I think people either really love it or they don't like it so much just based on the survey disqualification rate.

But for me personally in testing out Prime Opinion, I think it was the fastest cash out I've ever had with a survey site and it had a great UI and I basically didn't get disqualified. So it, it worked really well for me.

So what's also cool about Prime Opinion is that it's available in dozens of different countries and it has both a web version and mobile app that's pretty good. But yeah, once you sign up, you complete your profile, you can start answering surveys and it has A ton of different surveys at a given time.

You know, paying anywhere from 10 cents up to a few dollars. Like I mentioned, I found the UI pretty easy to use. I didn't get disqualified all that much. And I found it was very responsive. Like it wasn't laggy or glitchy or anything like that, which was pretty nice to see.

Prime Opinion also lets you cash out at $5 and you can redeem PayPal cash plus gift cards to companies like Amazon, Target, Starbuck and Walmart.

So, Prime Opinion is also kind of similar to HeyCash. There's a streak system that pays you with bonuses, there's a leaderboard. So again, there's some other ways to earn more than just answering surveys.

Prime Opinion is also available in dozens of different countries. So if you haven't tried it out yet, I definitely recommend adding it to your survey routine for 2025.

FreeCash

All right, guys. And the sixth top survey site I wanted to cover in this article is a website called FreeCash.

And let me start out by saying FreeCash is a GPT site. I've covered it on this blog, and to date I've cashed out over $150 with it. And I think it is a top GPT site.

And really, if you want a survey site that also has offer wall tasks like gaming or shopping offers and you want a ton of different reward options, I think FreeCash is worth signing up for.

If you just want a survey site, I would skip FreeCash because its survey rates are decent, but they're not the top in the industry. But in any case, let me explain how it all works.

So you can Sign up for FreeCash for free with your email, and new members actually get entered into a $250 sweepstake right off of the bat, which is pretty neat.

And from there, FreeCash has over a hundred different ways to earn in a bunch of different categories like games, surveys, download and shopping offers, quizzes, watching videos, and free trial. The team also adds new offers every single day.

And again, there's over a hundred different ways to make money at a given time. And in particular, some of the gaming offers are pretty lucrative. So if you like mobile games as well as surveys, I think FreeCash is worth trying out.

The rewards are also pretty unique, which is what I really like. I mean, there's PayPal cash, there's free gift cards, but you can also redeem free crypto or even video game rewards like free skins, which is really cool.

Most Rewards only take $5 to cash out as well, so it really doesn't take that long to get paid. And like I mentioned, I've cashed out over $150 with free cash to PayPal and Amazon. And I've never had any issues in getting paid.

Now again, if you just want to answer surveys and you don't care about the offer wall stuff that much, I'd skip FreeCash because it doesn't have the top survey rates out there.

But for a platform with a lot of variety in terms of earnings and rewards, I definitely Recommend Trying out FreeCash.

Survey Junkie

All right, guys. And coming in at number 7 on the list of top survey sites for 2025 is a survey company called Survey Junkie.

Now this is another popular site that's available in North America and Australia and it wasn't in my 2024 article, but I'm adding one because it's had some changes in the last year and a revamp that I think make it a lot better.

And so for starters, Survey Junkies recently changed their UI and the whole look and feel and it's a lot cleaner. And I just find it's easier to answer surveys and make money now than it was in the past. It's also super simple to use.

You sign up for free with your email, you complete your profile and you can then answer available surveys that are on your main dashboard.

Now in my experience, surveys pay about 15 cents to a dollar. You can sometimes find them in the two to three dollar range. So again, it's your pretty standard survey site rate.

Survey Junkie also has a mobile app that I've tested out. I find the UI is pret pretty good, especially since they made those changes.

And what's also cool is that Survey Junkie has a desktop app and extension called Surf to Earn that lets you earn even higher paying surveys. And so this extension and app basically collects data as you browse the web and then helps you unlock higher paying surveys.

Survey Junkie actually says you can earn up to 50% more through this extension. So again, if you're a serious survey fan, I definitely recommend checking this out.

I also like Survey Junkie because you only need $5 to cash out, which is pretty competitive in the space.

Rewards are also decent. I mean there's PayPal, cash and then there's free gift cards to plenty of different companies. You know, Amazon, Starbucks, Walmart, Nike and dozens of other ones.

But yeah, there's really nothing crazy with Survey Junkie. There's not gaming offers, there's not cashback shopping or anything like that. But for a survey site that's simple and effective, it works. And I definitely recommend trying it out if you're serious about making money with surveys.

Prolific

Alright, guys, and the eighth and final top survey site for 2025 I wanted to cover is a survey company called Prolific.

Now, Prolific also was in my 2024 article, and it really hasn't changed that much over the years. But I think it is one of the top sites in the space because of how much it pays per hour.

Now, I will say that Prolific is a bit more of a market research platform kind of blended with a survey site. It's not exactly the same as branded surveys or survey Junkie.

And basically what Prolific does is it connects people who are researching something with participants who can answer questions and survey panels or focus groups.

Now, what's nice about Prolific is it's available in dozens of different countries, you just have to be 18 or older to sign up.

But really the best part about Prolific and what it different than all the other sites out there is that there's a minimum of $8 per hour that researchers have to pay participants.

And so on Prolific, if you find a survey that takes 30 minutes, it has to pay at least $4. If you find a survey or focus group panel that's an hour, it has to pay at least $8. And prolific actually recommends paying a little bit more. So your studies and surveys stand out.

So again, in terms of an hourly perspective, I think Prolific will pay more than pretty much any survey site out there. And that's really why I wanted to include it in this article.

Now, the downside of Prolific is that it takes much longer to complete your profile. Other surve you sign up with your email, you answer like 10 questions, and you're basically good to go.

Prolific is a bit different, the questions are actually pretty in depth. It might take you like 20 to 30 minutes to complete your profile, but that's just how Prolific matches you to the best surveys.

Depending on where you live, it can also take a bit longer to find studies or focus groups or surveys that you qualify for.

So again, the earnings can kind of be hit or miss, but it really is one of the highest paying survey sites out there. And it also pays you weekly through PayPal, which is pretty neat.

In my opinion, if you only have time to answer surveys once in a while, I would definitely check out Prolific because you know that you're getting at least $8 per hour, which is much than any other survey site out there.

Conclusion:

Anyways, guys, that does it for eight of my favorite survey sites for 2025 that you can use this year to make some extra cash.

Now, like I mentioned in my 2024 article, and like I mentioned a lot on this blog, please don't think that survey sites are going to make you rich or help you quit your day job or anything like that.

You know, I've been using survey sites for years, since college. I test them out all the time to write about them and, you know, cover them on this Blog. And really, you're not going to be making more than 2, 3, maybe 4 bucks an hour or maybe $8 an hour if you use something like Prolific.

But a couple of surveys per day on your lunch break or while you're watching TV at night can add up. You know, you might be making 20, 50, $100 per month or even more with surveys, and that can really go a long way, especially in many countries in this world. Just have realistic expectations about how much money you can make.

And, you know, hopefully at least one of these sites helps you earn a little bit more this year. And if you want even more survey site options to earn with, I'll be linking my ultimate Top Survey site guide down below for you guys to check out as well.

That really does it for this one, guys. Thank you so much for reading. And please share this article with your friends on social media. I hope you have a fantastic day.
