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 are the best apps like JustPlay?

Six apps on our map that pay for games, then ours. Every fact is the app's own, read on October 23, 2026, unless a date says otherwise.

Mistplay

Mistplay pays for time spent playing mobile games you find through it, and Mistplay Inc. runs it. You must be 18 or older. Its help center says its Android app is for "gamers around the world", and its iPhone app is for the US and Canada.

Rewards are gift cards from brands such as Amazon, Visa and PayPal, and we found no minimum on its own pages. Its terms cap what you can redeem at $550 a year. Gift cards now need an ID check with a selfie, for every player, by a help article edited on October 22, 2026.

What it does better than JustPlay: "a catalog of over 350 top-tier mobile games", it says, where JustPlay's Android listing counts 30+.

Cash Giraffe

Cash Giraffe pays gems for play time, game milestones and surveys, and justDice GmbH runs it, by its terms. You must be over 18.

You can cash out "from as little as $0.20 to PayPal", or take gift cards from brands such as Amazon and Starbucks. Its help center says PayPal can take up to 5 business days and gift cards up to 7. Before any payout, you'll take a selfie.

What it does better than JustPlay: it deletes that selfie 4 weeks after the payout, its help center says, where JustPlay keeps face data for up to 4 months.

Scrambly

Scrambly pays for small milestones in games and apps, and Scrambly S.r.l. in Bologna, Italy runs it. It's only for the US, the UK and Canada, and you must be 18 or older, under its terms of October 21, 2026.

You can "Withdraw from just $1" to PayPal, Visa or gift cards, after an ID check. Its systems can hold an account or a balance automatically, and its iPhone app pays for walking.

What it does better than JustPlay: its terms give you 30 days to challenge a ban or a forfeited balance.

Rewarded Play

Rewarded Play pays points for levels, play time and milestones in games, and Influence Mobile, Inc. in Bellevue, Washington runs it. It's for people 16 or older in the US, the UK, Canada and Australia.

You redeem points for gift cards from over 40 brands and Visa prepaid cards. Most arrive within 1 to 2 business days, and your first one includes an identity check. Its iPhone app came out in July 2026.

What it does better than JustPlay: it takes players from 16, where JustPlay requires 18.

Not tested yet.

Freecash

Freecash pays for games, offers and surveys, and Almedia GmbH runs it, by its terms. It takes people 16 or older. Its PayPal cash-outs cover 124 countries.

Your first cash-out needs $5 to $20, depending on your region. You'll verify your ID with a selfie then. PayPal, Venmo, Visa and bank transfer cash-outs carry a 5% fee, and gift cards have none.

What it does better than JustPlay: a published list of 124 PayPal countries, from age 16.

KashKick

KashKick pays for games, surveys and deals, and Besitos Corporation, LLC runs it. It's for residents of the 50 US states and DC who are 18 or older.

You can Kash Out from $10 to PayPal, Venmo or gift cards, with "zero fees", it says. Before the first one, you'll need a selfie and a driver's license or passport.

What it does better than JustPlay: a balance in dollars, at "$1 Kash = $1 USD", where JustPlay publishes no coin rate.

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 JustPlay: a published $1.00 cash-out, from age 16.

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.
