Testerup alternatives: 7 apps like Testerup, compared on what they pay

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 Testerup are Freecash, KashKick, Mistplay, Swagbucks, Survey Junkie and Qmee. Five of them state smaller cash-outs than Testerup's $60, and two name ID checks without a selfie.

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 Testerup?

Its own rules name the reasons. Testerup pays out from $60, in fixed amounts up to $500, and takes 5% on PayPal and Venmo. Before your first payout, it asks for a face scan that its terms say may involve biometric data. In a German court case about the same company's check, nobody disputed that it offers no other way to pass.

Its tracking rules are strict, too: one device, only games you've never installed, no VPN and one login method. Its terms of October 16, 2026 list payout methods for the US and the UK only. Canada isn't named in them.

Google's suggestions for this search include "apps like testerup but better" and "apps like testerup uk".

Our Testerup review covers its rules in full.

What are the best apps like Testerup?

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

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, the US, Canada and the UK among them.

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

What it does better than Testerup: a first cash-out of $5 to $20. Most PayPal, crypto and gift card withdrawals are instant, it says.

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 Testerup: a $10 cash-out, with no fee on PayPal or Venmo.

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". The iPhone app is for the US and Canada.

Rewards are gift cards from brands such as Amazon, Visa and PayPal. Their costs in units show inside the app, 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. Its help article on that was edited on October 22, 2026, and you'll do the check once.

What it does better than Testerup: "absolutely no withdrawal fees", it says, PayPal included, and "Most rewards are processed within an hour."

Swagbucks

Swagbucks pays for surveys, games and shopping deals, and Prodege LLC sells its app. It says it's live in most countries in the Americas, Europe and Asia. It's open to members from 13.

When we priced its US catalog on September 22, 2026, the cheapest dollar gift cards were $5. A $5 PayPal reward cost 530 SB. Its help center says it may occasionally ask for an ID and a selfie.

What it does better than Testerup: it takes teens from 13, in far more countries.

Survey Junkie

Survey Junkie pays for surveys, and DISQO owns it. It's for people 18 or older in the US, Canada, Australia or the UK.

You can cash out from $5, or 500 points, to PayPal, a bank account or gift cards. Its identity checks "can include text, email or phone call confirmation", a cross-check with reward partners, or "photo ID verification".

Qmee

Qmee pays for surveys, cashback offers and gaming offers, and Kantar UK Ltd runs it. It's for people 16 or older in the UK, the US, Canada, Australia, France and Germany.

Its FAQ says there's "no minimum withdrawal amount" for PayPal or Venmo. The money arrives "within a few minutes", it says. Before your first gift card, it checks who you are, for example through a PayPal cash-out of any amount.

What it does better than Testerup: no minimum at all for PayPal or Venmo.

Not tested yet.

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 Testerup: a $1.00 first cash-out, where Testerup's is $60.

We build it, so we don't review it.

Which one has the smallest cash-out?

Swagbucks' amount is from our read of its US catalog on September 22, 2026. Mistplay shows reward costs inside its app, and we found none on its own pages. Some of Qmee's gift cards set their own minimum, such as $5.

Which apps like Testerup skip the face scan?

Every app here checks who you are at some point. Four of the six can ask for a selfie with an ID. Survey Junkie and Qmee name other checks, and neither mentions a selfie.

These are each app's own words, from its help center, FAQ or terms. We haven't been through any of these checks ourselves.

What's the catch with apps like Testerup?

The money comes from the companies that want your time. Testerup's terms say its tasks are arranged with "external advertising partners". KashKick says game developers pay it to find new players, and it shares that money with you. Survey Junkie says brands turn to its owner, DISQO, for consumer insights.

The catch sits in their rules. Mistplay and Testerup pay only for games you've never installed before. Freecash, KashKick and Mistplay ban VPNs in their own rules. Mistplay caps what you can redeem at $550 a year. Its units expire after 180 days without earning.

Some tasks also ask you to spend. Testerup's help center says many of its tasks include cashback goals, which reward a purchase inside a game.

Are apps like Testerup legit?

The six we read all name the company behind them. Almedia GmbH runs Freecash and Besitos Corporation, LLC runs KashKick, by their terms. Mistplay Inc. runs Mistplay, and Kantar UK Ltd runs Qmee. Apple lists Prodege LLC as the seller of the Swagbucks app, and Survey Junkie says DISQO owns it.

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. Testerup sits in the survey-apps lane, though its home page leads with testing mobile games. So we took two survey apps from its lane, Survey Junkie and Qmee. The other four pay for games and offers. Freecash is the app Google suggests next to Testerup.

We read their pages on October 23, 2026, from a server in the US. AttaPoll, another big app in that lane, refused our server's requests that day.
