Fetch is one of the most popular and trustworthy money making apps available.

It pays you free gift cards for scanning receipts, playing games, and shopping popular brands.

In fact, some users claim to earn up to $1,000 a month — but how realistic is that?

To find out, I tested the app and did a ton of research online to see what other users had to say.

Mediaprobe is an app that literally pays you to watch TV.

I’m not talking about watching ads for a penny a pop. I mean real shows and sports — the stuff you’d actually turn on anyway.

So I signed up. They mailed me a little sensor, and I spent a month testing it out.

Is KashKick legit? 

“Get paid to have fun,” the ads claim. But does the platform deliver?

Here’s what we found: Yes, you can make money with KashKick, but not all their earning options are created equal.

The free Receipt Hog app pays you for taking pictures of your receipts.

Consistent Receipt Hog users can earn around $25 a year pretty easily. But is it worth it?

This is my review of the popular Field Agent app.

I’ve heard about the app on various lists of side hustle ideas for years, and was excited to finally put it to the test.

The tl;dr version of what I found is that the app is legit (they do really pay), it’s easy to use, and is actually pretty fun. But don’t expect this to replace your day job!

Snakzy is a “play-to-earn” mobile app that lets you earn money by trying out mobile games and completing milestones. 

According to site, some of the app’s most dedicated users are raking in anywhere from $1,700-$2,500 per month.

That said, the average earnings for non-power users is actually around $15 a day, which still translates to roughly $450 a month.

Testerup is a legit platform that allows users to test mobile games and earn money.

But while you can make money testing games with this platform, your time may be better spent on other money making apps.

My latest side hustle experiment is as a User Interviews survey respondent.

(I’m up $105 so far, in exchange for about an hour and a half.)

Cash Giraffe is an app where you can make money playing new games and taking surveys.

You can redeem your earnings for cash, gift cards, or discounts on certain brands.

Our independent app reviewer, Audrey, put 15 hours into Cash Giraffe to determine whether it’s worth your time.

Upside (formerly known as GetUpside) is a free money making app that allows users to earn cash back on gas, groceries, and dining.

According to the Upside website, users have the opportunity to earn up to 25¢ per gallon on gas, 45% cash back at restaurants, and 30% cash back at participating grocery stores.

But is the app legit, or is this too good to be true?

Freecash claims to be “one of the most rewarding GPT websites in the world.”

(GPT = “get paid to…”)

But is Freecash legit? And how much can you really earn?

To find out, our independent app tester, Rachel, put Freecash to the test.
