I want to make some extra earning as a student please tell me some ways.

I only have a iPhone right now so limited on what I can do

Hey all 😊

I posted a couple days ago about how Freecash has recently been removed from the Google and Apple App Stores. You can still sign up via the web, but definitely some interesting stuff going on behind the scenes.

But even without the removals, I know Freecash isn't for everyone.

I've earned about $150 to date with Freecash by cherry-picking offers. However it's not the main rewards platform for me. And it doesn't work super well in every country and has tracking issues for some people.

SO I wanted to put together a list of some of the best sites and apps like Freecash you can consider. I'd also love to know what alternatives you guys recommend too.

Here we go!

The Best Sites & Apps Like Freecash

I've been using gpt platforms since 2017 or so. They're still one of my main side hustles, and I've probably tried dozens over the years.

Here are some of the top Freecash alternatives you can check out:

1. Scrambly (US): A gpt app focused on games and FinTech offers. Cashouts start at $1 via PayPal, Visa, or gift cards. Compared to Freecash, it’s easier to start with but has fewer offers.
2. Gemsloot (Global): A global rewards platform offering surveys, game offers, and typical “get-paid-to” tasks. Has really good FinTech bonuses too in the US. Cash out via PayPal, crypto, or gift cards with relatively low minimums.
3. Prolific (Global-Ish): This is a research study platform where you get paid for academic surveys that generally pay much higher than standard sites like Freecash offer. Main downside is there's a waitlist to join.
4. Kashkick (US): Earn by playing games, downloading apps, shopping online, and by completing surveys. Probably the most similar look and feel overall to Freecash. You get paid with PayPal after earning $10.
5. BigCash (Global): This is a newer one I'm testing. It has nice sign-up bonuses in a lot of countries and lots of gaming offers. Rewards start at only $1 too which is nice.
6. Branded Surveys (US/CA/UK): IMO Branded Surveys has way better survey rates than Freecash and way worse gaming/download offers. Has a nice mix of rewards including PayPal and gift cards, only need $5 to cash out.
7. PrizeRebel (Global-Ish): An older site offering surveys, offers, and tasks for points. Cashout options include PayPal, crypto vouchers, and gift cards with low minimums (~$5). Compared to Freecash, it’s more reliable but feels dated and has fewer high-paying opportunities.
8. Swagbucks (Global-Ish): Another massive player in the industry. Honestly, it has everything Freecash has plus some more unique ways to earn, like scanning receipts. Always worth comparing offers head-to-head in my experience.
9. Snakzy (US): This is another new app I'm testing. I really like the large sign up bonus potential but dislike the high first-time cash out requirement. But could be worth checking out if you're grinding a lot of games.
10. VYBS (US): Also a gaming-focused app, not for survey lovers. It's newer and has some solid offers and rates, but again, need to grind out games to cash out.

Most of these are super similar to Freecash in terms of earning potential and offers. But you might find slightly better UIs, reward options, or sometimes higher rates too.

For example I like how Scrambly's UI works better and think tracking is better, and find that Gemsloot has higher-paying bonus offers, especially for FinTech.

I find that Freecash brings a lot of offers to market first, but it doesn't necessarily pay the most, so checking its competitors is worthwhile 😎

Other Freecash Alternatives With Higher Earning Potential

Additionally, I'll say that none of these apps have serious earning potential unless you spend money completing certain gaming offers.

SOME of them like Scrambly, Gemsloot, and Kashkick have some pretty nice bonus churning opportunities. But again, these aren't full-time jobs or even close to that for 99% of people.

If you're looking for higher-potential ideas, turning to something like freelancing is a better choice. You could also look for paid focus groups with companies like User Interviews, Respondent, etc. Even turning to the gig economy would be a more lucrative choice in most areas.

BUT if you want to use reward apps like Freecash, I think this list is a solid starting point 😊

Would love to know what you guys think as well / if you have any recommendations! Have a great day all!

PS 💸 We've also put out a mega-guide covering some easy passive earning methods for beginners. You can check this out too for some hands-off side hustles.

Need a few US residents. First come, First served

This might sound like an odd number but my $80 is my monthly electricity bill and I have a decent amount of free time in the evenings and on the weekends.

I'm a tarot reader right, and tbh skeptics can click off of this post but I've spent so many years studying the tarot and how effective it is. I know that so much of my potential and the material that I could make out of it could come true but I feel so lost you know, I have my own boundaries while reading so I don't do predictive or future based readings, I aim to only provide clarity to people about their current lives, one who feel like their life is scattered but it's so hard to find them 😭😭. To anyone who has been through similar experience, how did you move past this stage?

Ok so I have 2x law degrees (undergrad +masters) in the UK and I have a personal interest in medical law, I am currently trying to establish myself as a ‘freelance medical law consultant’ doing numerous courses, research ect

Does anyone have any ideas of other ways I could profit/ monetise the niche?

Im 18 years old and I dont have a lot of money, i am searching for real jobs but no luck so far, does anyone know a good side hustle as a 18 year old with a little to no budget?

A year ago, I decided to take my profession to the next level and be able to give it to the community in return whilst I made some passive income on the run.

A few years ago, I realised I am not an ordinary recruiter but a person who also fancies data analytics and automation among day-to-day operations. 

Similar to other individuals within other or all industries, people lack knowledge of the perspective of Recruiters, what they do, and why they do. So I started taking this as an advantage and started to educate people on processes and know-how of HRs. 

This created a potential network of people who liked what I did for the community and how active I am when it comes to sharing quality information, which I single-handedly prepare using Canva. 

Over a period of time, I saw there is an immense potential for people to be aware of various things, such as building a potential LinkedIn brand, which eventually opens doors they never imagined existed. Among this, I offer resume review and rewrites.

In addition to this, I also host webinars where I teach both candidates and talent professionals on unique or underrated tools that still go unnoticed. 

Like for an example, just about last week I hosted a webinar for Talent Professionals to show the potential use case of connecting dataset and building dynamic Power BI dashboards that could provide unique insights to their Managers or the leadership. 

The money isn't massive, but there's something every month. What I like about this work is that it is something that I enjoy doing the most, and I don't need to put in extra or unnecessary efforts.

It does require me to work on content using Canva, which has opened new avenues.

Hey all,

I've been looking into way more passive earning methods lately. And it got me thinking: how much monthly passive income would it take to genuinely change your life right now?

IMO I feel like it's not even that much.

Like if groceries and some other bills could be covered by dividend income, interest, or some other passive income source, that would be so sweet 😅

Right now I'm working towards this with investing, data collection apps, high-yield savings account, and a few other ideas. Curious if you guys have an income goal / what you're using to get there.

Everything I do for extra cash is from my laptop or phone, I don't do delivery apps or anything that requires driving around so if you're looking for the same kind of thing here's what I've tried

Transcription through rev or scribie, you listen to audio and type what people are saying, boring but easy, pays about $15 to $20 per audio hour and you work whenever you want, I do this mostly at night when nothing's on tv, some weeks I make $80 from it, some weeks nothing bc I don't feel like it

Prolific for research studies, way better than survey sites bc the studies pay more and they don't disqualify you ten minutes in, I make maybe $30 to $50 a month from it, very low effort you just do them when they pop up

Class action settlement claims, a good one for remote side hustles is settlemate to track which class action settlements I qualify for based on my purchase history and I've collected little over $300 from claims last year, you file from your phone or laptop, takes a few minutes per claim and checks come in the mail months later, patience is required but it's zero effort money once you file

Selling random stuff on mercari, I go through my apartment every couple months and list whatever I don't use anymore, made about $250 this year from old clothes, shoes, kitchen stuff I forgot I had

Freelance work on fiverr, I do basic data entry and spreadsheet cleanup for people, nothing fancy, picks up maybe $200 to $400 a month but it's inconsistent, depends on whether people post gigs that match what I can do

None of this is a full time income replacement, more like extra cash on top of whatever else you're doing, some months it's $400 total some months it's $800, depends on how much time I put into the freelance stuff mostly

Hi,

I’m a single mom in Spain trying to reach €1,000/month with flexible income.

Constraints:

-young child → can’t work fixed hours

-no upfront money to invest

-need something I can start immediately

Advantages:

-I live in a busy tourist area (summer season is strong)

-I’m open to both online and simple local opportunities

I’m looking for:

-specific platforms, methods, or side hustles that actually pay.

-ideas for combining multiple small income streams

-anything beginner-friendly and realistic

What would you do in my situation?

Thanks in advance.

Hey all,

I'm testing out more cashback apps this month and am also looking into Snaplii now.

I'm curious: has anyone used Snaplii and managed to cash out a gift card reward with it yet?

Snaplii is a Canadian and US cashback rewards app that basically lets you earn cashback at hundreds of brands. But it's a bit different than most apps in the space which is why I'm curious if you guys have used it.

Here's how Snaplii works:

1. You purchase gift cards from 300+ Snaplii partners that you want to shop at (includes Amazon, Starbucks, Walmart, DoorDash, CVS, Kroger and tons of others)
2. You earn Snaplii Cash instantly once you buy these gift cards
3. You can spend the gift card you purchased on something you were going to buy anyways
4. You can then spend your Snaplii Cash on more gift cards

SO you're basically buying gift cards upfront via Snaplii at places you want to shop at to secure instant cashback.

This is different from platforms like Pogo, Rakuten, Franki, Fetch etc where you spend your regular money and get cashback.

Looks like more upfront work, but higher potential payouts. For example you see a lot of retailers in the 2.5-5% cashback range, but sometimes ones offer 10% or more.

I'm going to start using Snaplii for gas, groceries, and Amazon. Will report back here with any savings/gift card redemptions but would love to hear from you guys also 😊

PS if anyone has a Snaplii referral code or promo code to share, feel free as well! Would love to apply this to my account and others can as well lol.

💸 ALSO: We put out a cool online freebies bonus churning guide you can check out as well for some nice rewards!

Curious what online side hustle idea worked for you guys and was super easy to hit $100 with.

For me, I think the easiest $100 I ever made was when I started writing for Medium back in the day. At the time they were giving our new writer bonuses, and I somehow got a $100 bonus after posting a story about phone farming lol.

Other than that, I'd say focus groups with User Interviews have been super easy money when I qualify for studies.

Curious what's worked well for you guys! 😎

Hello, I’m a 27-year-old Peruvian woman. I would like to know if there is really any online job I can do from my country. I’m looking for something like that because I need to earn more income. I’m in a very bad financial situation and I don’t know what else to do. I’m desperate :(

Everyone is talking about making money with AI, faceless channels, automation etc.

But I'm wondering: what do you guys think is an underrated way to make money now that's not getting the attention it deserves?

IMO the classics like doing cash odd jobs on Craigslist, certain gig apps, learning how to flip/resell are some prime examples. They're tried and true hustles that can earn a decent amount, but not so flashy I suppose or exciting.

LMK what you think 😊

Hey everyone,

I’ll keep this simple and honest. I need to arrange ₹5,000-10,000, so I’m taking on any quick freelance work I can.

Here’s what I can help with:

Copywriting (ads, captions, basic website copy)

Proofreading & editing

Blog/article writing

Canva designs (social media posts, simple creatives)

I understand how to make things look clean and engaging, even on tight timelines.

If you have something small or urgent that’s been sitting on your to-do list, I’d genuinely appreciate the opportunity. I’m open to quick turnaround tasks and reasonable pay.

Feel free to DM me or comment. I’ll respond quickly.

Thanks for reading.
