Why do people leave Five Surveys?

It pays for completed surveys. "5 Completed surveys means $5 on your balance," its home page says. Screen-outs come up in its Google Play reviews. One of August 1, 2026, marked helpful by 93 people, says a survey can end after 30 minutes and "just kick you out".

Five Survey AB answered that review on Google Play. "Screenouts or errors can happen when survey criteria change or due to technical hiccups during loading," the reply says.

Its home page promises "No minimum payout" and "Instant withdrawals." Its own reply to another review, on September 12, 2026, says "Cashouts may sometimes be delayed due to account review, eligibility checks, or minimum payout requirements." Google suggests "why is five surveys reviewing my account".

Its countries page lists 25 countries, and there's none in Africa. Google suggests "does five surveys work in nigeria" and "is five surveys available in kenya".

Google Opinion Rewards

Google Opinion Rewards pays for short surveys, and Google runs it. You'll need to be over 18. The Android app works in 39 countries, India and South Africa among them, and the iPhone app in five.

On Android, it pays Google Play credit, which expires a year after you've earned it. On iPhone, it pays PayPal cash each time your balance reaches $2.00. Surveys come when Google has them, and you can't ask for more.

What it does better than Five Surveys: credit after each survey. On Android, a confirmation page shows the amount once you answer. Five Surveys frames its pay as "$5 for every 5 surveys you complete".

PaysFair

PaysFair is ours. It pays for surveys, games and campaigns. In a campaign, you post clips and content on TikTok, YouTube, Instagram and X. The smallest cash-out is $1.00, paid as a gift card by email. We check the first cash-out by hand.

It's for people 16 or older, and what there is to do depends on your country. It runs on the web and in an Android app on Google Play. Obsidian UG in Germany runs it.

What it does better than Five Surveys: campaigns. You can get paid for posting clips, which Five Surveys' pages don't offer.

How we picked these apps

Our map of the market holds more than 1,100 earning apps, sorted into lanes by what they pay for. Five Surveys sits in the survey-apps lane. We took Survey Junkie, Google Opinion Rewards, HeyPiggy and LifePoints from that lane, and Swagbucks from the offer-sites lane.

Five Surveys' own Google Play text names AttaPoll and Qmee as apps like it. Our AttaPoll review and Qmee review cover both.

We read the apps' sites from a server in the US: Five Surveys' on October 24, 2026, and the others' on October 23, 2026. Google Play came from that server too, and Apple's store was read directly.
