Rakuten is one of the most longstanding and popular money-making apps on the market, but is it legit?

With over 20 million users (myself included) who have collectively earned over $3.2 billion in cash back rewards, the answer to this is a resounding YES!

Is KashKick legit? 

“Get paid to have fun,” the ads claim. But does the platform deliver?

Here’s what we found: Yes, you can make money with KashKick, but not all their earning options are created equal.

The free Receipt Hog app pays you for taking pictures of your receipts.

Consistent Receipt Hog users can earn around $25 a year pretty easily. But is it worth it?

SurveyWorld promotes itself as a place where you can take surveys and get rewarded.

But can you really earn $300 a month, like the homepage says?

DietBet is an app that lets you earn money for losing weight. This may seem a little too good to be true, but I’m here to tell you, it’s legit.

How do I know? Because I’ve used it, and I’ve won real cash.

Will you strike it rich? Probably not.

But the average DietBet user wins around $50 to $60, which is typically 2-3x their initial bet.

FiveSurveys.com is a website that promises you $5 upon completing five surveys.

But is FiveSurveys.com legit? Is it worth it?

I dove into the platform myself to find out if it was really that easy to make money.

Scrambly is a cash back rewards platform that lets you make money online by playing mobile games, completing challenges, and trying new services.

According to the company, monthly earnings typically range from $50 to $500.

But are those earnings realistic?

Ibotta is a money-making app that promises cash back rewards for shopping in-store and online. But is the app for real, or is it too good to be true?

Having been an Ibotta user since 2017 and earned hundreds of dollars in cash back, I can personally attest to the legitimacy of this app.

That said, it’s not all sunshine and rainbows. There are several things I dislike about Ibotta as well.

Unlike most online survey companies, Respondent actually pays “real” money for participating in studies.

This isn’t about watching silly videos or completing offers for pennies. What do I mean by real? It’s possible to earn $100 an hour or more.

Mistplay is a free Android app that rewards you for downloading and playing games.

But is it really “the best-kept secret in gaming,” like the company proclaims? And is it safe to use?  

The good news is Mistplay isn’t a scam — it’s legit — but your earning power depends on a few factors.

ReceiptPal is one of several receipt-scanning apps that pays you real money for sharing your shopping receipts.

But does the app deliver?

Dedicated ReceiptPal users can earn $10-25 a year. It’s essentially free money — but is it worth the effort?
