Ask four questions:

1. How do I want to be paid? Cash on PayPal, a gift card, crypto, Venmo. Cross off apps that do not pay that way.
2. Can I reach the minimum? A low minimum lets you see your first payout sooner. See apps that pay instantly to PayPal.
3. Does it work where I live, on my phone? Offers and payout methods change by country and device.
4. Do I know what a coin is worth? Some apps publish a fixed value, many do not. See how much 1,000 coins are worth.

Surveys are your main thing? Read survey apps that pay cash.

• One account per person. Cashkun, Freecash, Mistplay, JustPlay and KashKick all say so. See the one account rule.
• No VPN. Freecash, Mistplay, KashKick, Swagbucks and Cashkun ban them.
• Holds exist. Rewards often wait before you can cash out. See how holds work.
• Checks before payouts. KYC, selfies or a person reviewing your cash out are normal on many apps.
