Apps That Pay You Real Money 2020
Swagbucks is a cashback app. They will pay you cash to use their app. You can take the money and gift vouchers by buying through their gateway, by doing surveys, viewing videos, utilizing their toolbar and many more. Besides gift cards, if you like, you can also payout via PayPal or a Visa card. Although it’s had some difficulty in the last few years, HQ Trivia relaunched in March 2020 for iOS users who enjoy trivia to play real money earning games. To use it, you’ll need to download the app onto your iPhone, iPad, or other Apple device and create an account. Most InboxDollars surveys pay between $0.50 and $5, but occasionally you’ll see offers up to $20 or more. You can also earn by watching TV, shopping, or completing offers through the app. InboxDollars pays you in real dollars, not points, and offers a free $5 sign-up bonus.

Several years ago, I started writing reviews of smartphone apps that pay you. Back then, this was such a new thing because smartphones were a new thing.
But nowadays almost everyone has a smartphone. Because of this, apps that pay you are no longer a rare find.
I love making massive lists, so today I felt a little ambitious and decided to see if I could come up with a list of 75 smartphone apps that pay.
And what do you know, I was able to do it! Please note that almost all of these are available for both iOS and Android. For some of the listings, I may have linked the page for one or the other, but more than likely it's available for both types of devices.
It's also true that these apps are not created equally. While I believe them all to be legit, some may be duds while others are pretty awesome.
The reviews on each app will help you decide whether or not you should bother with them. But the one thing they all have in common is that they are all paying apps. So, have fun and good luck!
Task-Based/Mystery Shopping Apps
These apps will all pay you to visit stores and do things like take pics of displays, answer surveys about what you see, etc.
It's kind of like mystery shopping, but you do it with your phone. People who live in larger cities and towns will typically have more tasks available to do than people living in more rural areas.
