How to Make Money with Your SmartphoneIf you're ready to make some money with your smartphone, here are some legit ways to cash in!

Swagbucks

Swagbucks is one of my faves! With Swagbucks, you earn points called SB, which can be redeemed for gift cards, coupons, and sweepstake entries. The platform can be accessed via your laptop or their via smartphone app for iPhone and Android operating systems. You can earn SB by watching videos, answering questions, completing offers, and even surfing the web using their toolbar. Refer your friends, and you’ll earn even more SB. Your SB points can be traded in for gift cards from Amazon, Target, Starbucks, PayPal, and Walmart. You also get a $5.00 sign up bonus when you register, sweet!

Dosh

With this smartphone app, you connect your credit card to their secure platform and for every dollar that you spend at a participating retailer, you'll earn a varying (usually 2-10%) cash back amount. Because transactions are automatically tracked via your card, this opportunity is entirely passive. If you decide to refer friends and family to the platform, you can earn $5 for each person that signs up with your referral link (they have to connect their credit card). Money is available for withdrawal via your bank account, PayPal, or Venmo.

Drop

I love this app — because it is totally passive earning! With Drop, you earn points for shopping at individual stores. All you have to do is connect your credit card to their secure (256-bit encryption) smartphone application, and each time you purchase at a participating retailer, you'll earn points. One thousand points equals $1, and when you earn enough points, they can be traded in for gift cards from stores like Starbucks, iTunes, Amazon and many more. You can also invite friends to join with your own personalized referral code. For each friend who signs up with your referral code — you'll earn 1,000 points. Drop is available in the US and Canada and for both Andriod and iPhone users. Drop has been featured on Business Insider, Pop Sugar, and Fox Business.

Easy Shift

Easy Shift is a micro-task application where you can earn money by completing shifts. Shifts usually entail checking prices, seeing if a product is in stock, or taking photos of a store display. Once you have successfully completed the shift, payment will be made through PayPal within 48 hours of submission. Shifts pay anywhere from $2.00 to $20.00 per task. Easy Shift has been featured in USA Today, All Things Digital, and Mashable. Is currently only available for iPhone users.

Field Agent

Field Agent allows you to make money by completing various micro tasks, from checking shelf availability to checking demo and display compliance. Jobs pay anywhere from $3.00 to $12.00 per job and payments are made via PayPal. Field Agent works with brands like Tyson, Target, Hershey’s and has been featured on CNET, Forbes, and The New York Times. Only available for iPhones.

Foap

Foap allows you to make money by selling photos you take on your iPhone. Download the Foap application to your smartphone and upload your photos. Once your image receives five positive ratings from other Foap users – your photo will be published for sale. You will earn $5 each time someone purchases your photo. Payments are made via PayPal when the user requests a cashout.

Getaround is a smartphone application that allows you to rent your car out for short periods of time. List your vehicle in their marketplace and download the app. When you're not using your vehicle, individuals can rent and unlock your car using the app. Payments are made monthly, and the average Getaround renter earns $10,000 a year ($800 a month) — not bad! Getaround is available for both iPhone and Android users.

Giftloop

With this Android operating app, you can earn cash via PayPal or gift cards by watching videos, trying new apps, playing games, and completing surveys. According to its website, Giftloop has paid out over three million dollars and it has a four out of five-star rating in the app store.

Gigwalk’s workforce is available in multiple US cities. GigWalk has been featured on CNN, Business Insider, and Forbes.

How to Make Money with Your Smartphone

Ibotta

Another one of my favorites! Ibotta is an iPhone and Android application that you can use to earn money when you go shopping. Before you head out on a shopping trip complete tasks relating to your favorite brands and companies. Next, go shopping at stores like Target and Walgreens and take photos of your receipts. Once your transaction has been verified, your account will be credited with a specified cash back amount. Refer your friends and earn even more money. Payments are made via PayPal or gift card and can be transferred as soon as you earn $5.00. Ibotta has been featured on Mashable, Good Morning America, and Business Insider.

InboxDollars

InboxDollars is both a smartphone app and a desktop portal, where you can earn money for taking surveys, reading emails, playing games, and sharing your opinion. New users can earn $5 for signing up, and once your account reaches $30 you can request a payout via check or Visa cash card. InboxDollars has an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau.

If you're curious what it's like working as an Instacart Shopper, this woman gives a good account and tips for doing so.

Job Spotter

Job Spotter is a smartphone app from the job site, Indeed. To earn points using this app, all you have to do is snap pictures of Now Hiring Signs along with a photo of the store's signage. For every approved submission you'll earn a varying amount of points. You can also earn points by verifying other user's submissions. I tried this out one day and earned $2.97 for snapping pictures of four help wanted signs and verifying a few submissions. Your points can be redeemed for an Amazon gift card. Job Spotter is available for Android and iPhone applications.

Mobee

Mobee is a secret shopper app that allows you to earn rewards for shopping at certain stores. To get started, download the app, accept a mission near you, and answer the questions once you arrive.

You can also earn points by referring friends to the app; once they complete their first mission, you'll both receive 300 points. Mobee is available for both Android and Apple smartphones.

Poshmark

Poshmark is an application where individuals can sell women’s fashion clothing, shoes, handbags, and accessories. Download the app on your iPhone, create an account, and then start taking photos of the items you wish to sell.

Receipt Hog

Available for Android and iPhone systems, Receipt Hog pays you money for shopping and taking surveys. Download the app and take photos of your receipts from any grocer, supercenter, club store, dollar store, drug store, convenience mart, beauty supply, or pet supply store.

The number of coins you earn per receipt depends on how much your total bill is. You can submit 20 receipts per week and trade 1,000 coins in for $5.00.

Shopkick

I'm totally addicted to this app! Shopkick is a really cool rewards program that is available for iPhone and Android phones. Just download the app to your phone, and when you walk into your favorite stores (Old Navy, Crate & Barrel, Exxon, Target, Macy’s, etc.), you’ll instantly earn kicks. Scan specified barcodes once you're in the store to earn more kicks. Link up your credit card, browse through lookbooks, or refer your friends for even more kicks. Kicks can be used for gift cards from Target, Old Navy, Starbucks, or on items like clothing, electronics, or even a cruise! Shopkick has been featured on The Huffington Post, Forbes, and The Wall Street Journal.

Uber Eats

Uber Eats is an on-demand, smartphone app where you can make money by delivering packages and food via your car, bike, or scooter. The more deliveries you make, the more you'll earn. With their Instant Pay system, you can get same day payouts up to five times a day. Both Uber and Uber Eats are available on Apple and Android operating systems.

Viggle

Do you love to watch TV or listen to music? Then Viggle is for you. Just download the app to your Android or iPhone, check in with Viggle button and start earning points by watching TV or listening to music. You can even engage and answer questions for additional points. Points can be redeemed for rewards from companies like Starbucks, Foot Locker, Groupon, and Best Buy.

Conclusion. 

One last word about smartphone apps. Not all apps are legit — you need to do your due diligence and read the reviews before installing on your phone and entering your information. I'm fairly cautious when trying out new apps. If there are zero reviews listed on iTunes or the Android app store – I won't download it. You'll also want to read reviews online and via the Better Business Bureau website.

    There’s several apps that I’m interested in trying; however, my phone doesn’t have enough space for all the ones I want to use. Can some of these apps be downloaded onto a cell phone that’s no longer in service? They still work and from what little experimenting I’ve done they seem to be able to connect to my home WiFi. I know these take time to make money and it’s not a get rich; however, if I can manage to pay even the smallest bill by doing several of these then it’ll be worth it.

        Not sure I follow you; however, if you mean you don’t need the money and are looking for other ways to fulfill something in your life then I suggest donating the money and gift cards earned to charitable causes. When cashing out, some have the option to donate. These applications are paying out for feedback and other party research as to how they may be able to improve something, so you’re helping in that way too. As for clothes and such, donate them to a cause you believe in. Otherwise, I don’t know what you’re looking to earn other than helping those less fortunate.

Right now i have qmee but it probably won’t last long either. I hate survey sites. Also i have bing. Tho they don’t pay money you can get Amazon gift cards and who doesn’t like Amazon??

      Hi Zilla, By no means, are you going to get rich using smartphone apps, but they do give you some extra pocket change. I religiously use ShopKick, Ibotta, Swagbucks, and Receipt Hog, and over the years I’ve made hundreds of dollars using them. If you’re already going to purchase an item, why not get rewarded for your shopping activities. =)

    I’ve tried CheckPoints and didn’t even make it to $1 before I gave up! Too many points needed. Ibotta is great! You get cash back on groceries. MobiSave is a good cash back on groceries app too. Another pointless one not to try is Inbox Dollars. It starts off great but once you get about half way to a payout you stop getting credit for surveys/activities. Do you know if any of the others listed are like that?

    You can also try out this app if you are using android: make money online: Money SMS. You don’t have to do anything besides installing the app and running it on the phone. It does not pay a lot, but it also does not take any of your time. After you install it and run, you start receiving automatic test messages for which you get paid.

    Slidejoy is also a great app to make a few extra easy bucks. I have been using about 6 months now and have made $34.48 just sliding/swiping my phone open. The app also just added different options to play games, participate in surveys, download apps and more. You get paid in points (carrots) that equal a penny per carrot. They have multiple payouts from PayPal, Amazon, eBay, Starbucks, best buy, Wal-Mart and more! I know for a fact they actually pay since I have already cashed in for a $15 and $10 eBay code at Christmas and the codes were sent to my email within minutes. I do believe this only works for android. If you do download the app, make sure to disable your current option to open your phone to your home screen in your main settings. (It can get aggravating to keep sliding your phone open twice after awhile, luckily it is an easy fix:-))

    You can also try this site, which has a mobile-friendly part. You watch videos (you don’t even have to watch them, just play them), do surveys, or sign up for emails (make sure to get a junk email account to use), to earn points. You can then cash in the points for gift cards (like Amazon, Target, and so on), or get cash through paypal. Don’t quit your day job or anything, but it’s a good way to make a few extra bucks.

    I had a hard time doing Receipt Hog, they could read none of my receipts. :/

    I downloaded this app Wild Wallet and so far, it’s works pretty good. You can earn some killer rewards like Free PayPal cash, Social Followers & Like and more. Use this code 1772424 and earn 200 bonus credits. The fastest way to earn points is by downloading apps(you can delete them once you get the credits) and watch videos!

    Shopkick is the app to download!!!!

    Lucktastic You can scratch cards to earn money or points towards gift cards and more

    Found these sites during a review online by some Youtubers.

    I would like to say “I second that” to ReceiptHog. I started using it a couple of months ago and it really does work. You simply scan (take a photo) of your receipt and gain points, amount of points depending on the amount of the receipt. I’ve cashed out through PayPal and with the Amazon gift card. What I love most is you don’t HAVE to refer the app to get points, just shop and snap. Perfect for a little extra cash. I too recommend ReceiptHog.

    Hi Holly, I also came across Ringhop (dot com) where you can charge people to call or text you.., it only works in the US plus you would need people to actually want to call or text you J but could be ok if you’re really popular or something. Cheers Jay

    The following apps above are good and there is another app that is really good that pays up to $300 per month just to watch video ads and answer questions.The app is called Cash Quest App and they have a few explainer videos on their site that explains the app in detail – http://www.cashquestapp.com

    @ Holly The App Locket used to pay per swipe but as Mel stated they have changed their policies. They do still reward you with redeemable gift cards from more than 200 retailers. And you are correct at the moment they are dedicated to Android devices only. I use it on an old spare phone. Hopefully they will support other platforms in the future?

      I’m seeing many apps that seem valid, but will obviously take up space on your phone. I have limited space on my cell phone. I have a few extra phones that just don’t have cell service (no #) but appear to connect via my home WiFi. Will this work?

    Hey! Thanks for the article! Have your tried Field Agent? Is it any good? I’ve also tried GumsUp, it’s pretty easy to use. You can fill surveys or play games and try apps to earn gums and get money for free! You can try it using my link if you want to: http://gumsup.com/landing/en/

    Hi Holly!

    I have tried Locket. I never figured out how to get paid for it. It only showed news articles. Do you have any advice for using this app? Thanks!

      Diane, I removed your phone number so that you don’t get a bunch of junk calls. To make money with your smartphone, just go to the App Store on your phone and search for the apps above. Let me know if you need further help.

    I pay my rent and bills by working through my smartphone, real work, real pay.
    uber rush, Zipments, instacart, task rabbit. Are what I’ve tried so far.
    they all require some sort of training, andI I’m not sure are available in all cities.
    thanks for the list.

    Hello,
    My name is Michael Roche I am the CEO/Owner of Flashpoint media LLC maker of the popular Instant Rewards iPhone App. I am writing you today because I came across an article you wrote about “apps that pay you” while you have many great apps in this list ours is not part of it. Our App Instant Rewards was recently featured in seventeen magazine and on several other media outlets. We have over 50,000 users and 4.5/5.0 rating in a side by side comparison of some of our competitors such as: Jingit, Checkpoints, Appjoy, Gigwalk or adfun we beat them in all categories. We Offer users Videos to watch, Surveys to take, Apps to download and recently partnered with Kiip to offer “real Life” rewards to users. We also pay more and offer both paypal and Amazon giftcards as a cashout method, and unlike all of our competitors we are open worldwide not just limited to the USA. In conclusion I believe your readers deserve to be informed about the best apps around and quite frankly one of the best apps (ours) is not included in this list. Don’t take my word checkout the reviews yourself we are better than most if not all rewards apps available today!
    The Link to our app is: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/instant-rewards-earn-cash/id704964930?mt=8

    Thanks
    Michael R Roche- CEO/Owner Flashpoint Media LLC
