Which paid survey sites actually pay
Most “best survey site” lists are affiliate rankings that have not been touched in years. This one is a register. We asked every site on it two questions: is the company still trading, and what do the people who actually use it say. 32 of the 99 sites here failed the first question.
Every site we track
Trustpilot ratings alongside cashout terms and operating status. Bar length is the score; how solid the bar looks is how many reviews sit behind it. Click any name for the full review.

How we checked all of this
Three things, all of them repeatable, all of them done on 31 July 2026.
Is it still there? We requested every company's homepage directly and followed redirects. A domain that no longer resolves, serves a 404, or has been put up for sale is marked shut down. A domain that redirects to a different company is marked renamed, and we name the company it went to. Sites whose operating status could not be confirmed are excluded from the directory; their former review URLs redirect to this page.
What do members say? We show Trustpilot ratings and review counts. Reviews reflect the people who chose or were invited to leave feedback; they are not a guarantee of earnings or payment. A rating with fewer than 25 reviews behind it is not shown.
Is it even a survey site? Several of the best-known names in this category do not run surveys. They are lead generators: they take your email and sell it on to panels and offer networks. We label those and rank them below every real panel.
We do not take payment from any company to be listed, ranked higher, or described more kindly. How this site makes money.
Before you sign up anywhere
Four rules that would have saved most of the people who leave one-star reviews on the sites above.
-
A survey site never charges you
Panels are paid by the companies buying the research. Anything asking for a joining fee, or selling you a “list of survey sites”, is selling you something that is free.
-
Check the cashout threshold first
It is the number that decides whether you ever get paid. A $5 threshold you reach in a fortnight beats a $50 threshold you abandon at $31.
-
Expect to be screened out
Being disqualified part-way through is normal, not a scam - you stopped matching the study. It is also the single most common complaint about every panel on this page.
-
Never give a card number
No legitimate panel needs one. Sites that pay you for “completing offers” usually mean free trials that bill you if you forget to cancel.
