We build PaysFair, an earning app that competes with every app on this page. Judge our bias accordingly, and check the numbers below against the sources at the bottom.
On our map, the apps closest to JustPlay are Mistplay, Cash Giraffe, Scrambly and Rewarded Play, plus Freecash and KashKick. Four of the six state a cash-out floor, and five have iPhone apps for game rewards.
We read every app's own pages on October 23, 2026, and we haven't used any of them ourselves. Where an app's pages disagree with each other, we print every number.
Why do people leave JustPlay?
Its own rules name the reasons. Before your first cash-out, JustPlay scans your face, keeps that data for up to 4 months, and offers no other way to verify. Its terms say there's usually no minimum, but they publish no coin rate, and coins expire six months after they're credited.
Your account lives on one install. Uninstalling the app or moving to a new phone permanently removes your progress and earnings, its help center says. Its privacy policy says it sells or shares your geolocation for advertising, as California law defines those words.
Google's suggestions for this search include "apps like just play that pay more" and "apps like just play for iphone".
Our JustPlay review covers its rules in full.

What's the catch with apps like JustPlay?
Game makers and advertisers pay these apps. JustPlay runs a reward platform that "shares a portion of advertising revenue with users", The Korea Times reported. "Game developers fund the rewards because they're paying to find players like you," Rewarded Play's app page says.
Most of them check your face. Mistplay, Cash Giraffe, Freecash and KashKick ask for a selfie, and Scrambly's ID provider may use biometric facial matching. How long they keep it differs: Cash Giraffe says 4 weeks after the payout, and JustPlay says up to 4 months.
Your account can depend on your phone. Rewarded Play can't restore points for a game you've uninstalled, and Scrambly's terms say a new device or a reinstall may stop tracking.
