CW: Blog post about Get Paid To sites
(Azure:) I just published this blog post about the "Get Paid To" sites my headmates and I use: https://spectrumofeevee.wordpress.com/2025/09/06/best-get-paid-to-sites/
I went over Connect Cloud Research, PaidViewpoint, Benjamin, and Swagbucks, all of which have paid us successfully, and the pros and cons of each.

Best “Get Paid To” Sites
This is a blog post aimed at other low-income disabled people in the US. (Some sites may be available outside the US, but I can’t verify that.) If you are interested in earning small amounts of money in a way that is probably more accessible than a traditional job, and you don’t mind selling your data, this post may be for you.
First, my name is Azure. I use they/them pronouns. I am part of a plural system, which means multiple people in one bodymind. We share this blog. We are disabled and unable to work. We receive 36 hours of caregiving per week and it is not enough, which I think is the best one-sentence way to convey our severity of disability.
Currently, we are in autistic burnout, alongside our other disabilites. That means we tried too hard all our lives to pretend to not be autistic and tried too hard to achieve the same as a non-autistic person, and now we’re so exhausted we can’t independently get food for ourselves, speak with our mouth without further fatigue, or keep previous responsibilities. Recovery is possible, though it’s slow.
We used to knit and sell cute little amigurumi animals. We can’t do that right now – promoting, dealing with errors, and generally running a business is exhausting! We hope to be able to do it again someday, but not now.
So while we know we can ask for help if we need it… we are so. bored. Might as well earn a little bit of money if we can do it without hurting ourselves, right?
Thankfully, there are low-pressure, low-spoons ways to do that. Enter: “Get Paid To” sites. Common tasks include answering surveys, reaching specific levels in phone games, and watching (or “watching”) ads. (We turn our phone over for the ads.) This is a post describing our experience with these sites.
I have included referral links when possible in case you would like to use them and help us out. Please, don’t feel pressured! Feel free to use the non-referral links.
The first site, Connect Cloud Research, is my favorite. It is a survey site that pays well, for a survey site. The FAQ says researchers must pay a minimum of $7.50 per hour for time spent completing each survey. That’s higher than federal minimum wage in the US!
Pros of Connect Cloud Research:
– Very good pay per hour for a survey site
– No disqualifications – you only receive surveys you can take based on the demographic information you give, and if you do get spit out of a survey partway through, you get paid for your time
– A lot of the surveys are academic, which feels less yucky than helping a brand
– $5 payout thresholdCons of Connect Cloud Research:
– Some users may not be approved to join
– The surveys are few and far between – I completed 6 yesterday
– The survey notifications don’t really work – you generally have to check for surveys manuallyPro or con depending on your preferences:
– Most surveys are 2-4 minutes long and $0.25-$0.50 eachWe have earned $95.47 so far on Connect. Every single payment we request goes through immediately (through PayPal, but there’s an option for bank transfers with a $25 payout threshold).
Join Connect Cloud Research (there is no referral option yet)
The second site, PaidViewpoint, is pretty good too. I just did a $0.50 survey that was advertised as 7 minutes, but actually took 3 minutes. Both of those rates are great for a survey site! I would say the usual rate there is closer to $0.50 for 7 minutes.
Pros of PaidViewpoint:
– Pretty good pay per hour for a survey site
– No disqualifications – if you don’t qualify for a survey, it gives you demographic questions instead and you still get $0.10
– You get emails alerting you to new surveys (though I think not all of them)Cons of PaidViewpoint:
– The surveys are not super frequent
– It has a more corporate feel and generally has marketing type surveys
– Not as good pay as Connect
– $15 payout thresholdWe have earned $16.29 so far on PaidViewpoint. $15.40 of that has reached our PayPal.

The third platform, Benjamin, is not a site but an app. It is technically an app where you can do surveys, but I haven’t bothered, since I’m pretty sure it’s the usual “disqualified from 95% of surveys, earn pennies per hour” type of survey app. I use it to “watch” ads on my phone while I do stuff on my computer.
Pros of Benjamin
– It doesn’t take a lot of active work. You tap to start the ad, wait a while while doing something else, then tap 1-5 times to close the ad and start the next one, and repeat.
– The ads are nearly endless. We can usually “watch” 150+ a day.Cons of Benjamin
– I hate ads.
– The ads pay literally one penny per ad. Unfortunately this is the best current pay I’ve found for places that pay you to watch ads.
– You have to verify your government ID with a selfie before it’ll let you cash out. Note: I don’t remember for sure if the other sites on here required this.
– Annoyingly corporate
– $25 payout thresholdWe have earned $69.73 so far on Benjamin. A little over $50 of that has reached our bank account.

The next site, Swagbucks, is very popular. People who don’t do GPT might even have heard of it. It does not pay very well, but it has a good selection of games. We use it when we don’t want to or can’t do something that feels like work, but we do want to play mobile games, and we don’t mind playing a new one. It is best if you like puzzle games, but it does also have other games.
Pros of Swagbucks:
– You can get paid to play games. You get rewards for reaching certain levels in each game.
– A better selection of games than any other site like this I’ve tried.
– $3 minimum cashout, though it looks like the first cashout has to be $15Cons of Swagbucks:
– You’re lucky if you get $1 an hour from doing this.
– Generally, games disappear from your dashboard and no longer give rewards after 30 days.
– The surveys and stuff are not a good use of your time compared to Connect and PaidViewpoint.
– You can’t use a VPN when playing games.We have earned $130 or so in gift cards on Swagbucks. We’ve been using it since March 2023. We usually do the monthly offer of $22 worth of Swagbucks for a $25 gift card. It’s always gone through except one time when we had to send a support ticket.
Join Swagbucks (non-referral link, you can earn $10 from using cashback for a $25 purchase)
Join Swagbucks (referral link, I get a bonus of 10% of your earnings plus a $3 bonus if you earn a lot in the first month, your earnings do not change – you can still get the offer in the link above)
We are also trying out other sites and apps. We may edit this post at some point to include them, but since we haven’t gotten payouts yet from them, we prefer not to recommend them, just in case they turn out to be scams.
Finally, a GPT site I do not recommend is Freecash. It looks good, but their customer service is atrocious. It’s listed as “do not recommend” on r/beermoney, a GPT subreddit.
I hope this post was helpful! Good luck!
