27 Ways to Make Money With Your Smartphone

Author: Holly Reisem Hanna

With the explosion of the smartphone, its apps, and the gig economy, there are more ways than ever to make money with your smartphone. There are hundreds of ways to earn money with your device, from taking surveys and shopping online to selling your services and old stuff.

If you’re ready to make money with your smartphone, here are 27 legit ways to cash in!

Use Your Phone to Make Money With Short Tasks

Short tasks are one-off tasks that take a small amount of time to complete. You’ll earn a specified amount of money or points for each task you complete. Some sample short tasks include watching videos, playing games online, verifying information, mystery shopping, and taking photos. Here are some of my favorite apps for making money with short tasks. 

1. 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. You can access the platform on your laptop or via the smartphone app for iPhone and Android operating systems. You can earn SB by playing games, 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 for gift cards from Amazon, Target, Starbucks, PayPal, and Walmart. You also get a $10.00 sign-up bonus when you register, sweet! Be sure to check out our full review on Swagbucks here.

2. Dabbl

Dabbl is a smartphone app that rewards people for taking surveys, giving opinions on various topics, watching videos, and completing offers and tasks. Each task will pay out a certain number of points. You can also earn 2,000 points for each friend you refer to the app (once they reach 1,000 points). Every 5,000 points equals $5 in gift card value. Points can be traded for gift cards from Amazon, Starbucks, Best Buy, Lowes, Walmart, and more.

3. MyPoints

With MyPoints, you can earn points for completing tasks like taking surveys, shopping online, watching videos, and reading emails. For each task, you’ll earn a set number of points. You can use these points to purchase gift cards from Walmart, Starbucks, Amazon, or cash via PayPal. This app is available for iPhone and Android users, and new users get a $5 bonus when they sign up and verify their email address!

4. 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. For more ways to make money with your photos, check out this post.

5. GigWalk

GigWalk is a mobile workforce of individuals using their iPhone or Android smartphone to connect, explore, and earn a second paycheck as they go about their day. Just register, apply for an assignment, and then complete the task (usually verifying roads and street signs, geographic landmarks, or transportation options). Gigwalk’s workforce is available in multiple US cities.

6. 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. If you’re interested in earning with this app, you can read our full review here.

7. 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. It takes approximately 48 hours for someone to review your submission, but once it’s approved, you’ll earn points that can be traded in for gift cards from Starbucks, Target, Walmart, Best Buy, and many others. You can also earn an extra 300 points by using my referral code J2KN (once you complete your first mission). Mobee is available for both Android and Apple smartphones.

8. 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. It is available for iPhones and Android devices.

9. Steady

With Steady, they claim the average user can earn $5,500 in extra income each year. To get started, download the app and answer a few simple questions about your expertise and experience, and it will give you personalized recommendations to earn money using the app. Gigs consist of running food for an app like DoorDash or taking advantage of cash incentives such as signing up for a trial or subscription or becoming a new banking customer. 

10. UserTesting

UserTesting is a platform and app where you can make a few extra bucks from your phone by testing websites and apps. To make money as a tester, create an account and take a quick qualifying test. Once you’re approved, you can browse projects and apply for consideration. Each test varies in length and payout, but payments are issued via PayPal seven business days after completion. While you’re not going to make a full-time income doing this, it is an interesting way to earn a little extra money as a freelancer. 

Make Money Completing Side Gigs on Your Phone

If you enjoy getting out and about and have your own transportation, you can make good money with these smartphone apps. You’ll need to fill out an application and pass a criminal background check for these side hustles. 

11. DoorDash

DoorDash is a smartphone app that connects Dashers (delivery drivers) to individuals who need items delivered to their homes. Fill out the online application, wait for your background check to clear, and, once accepted, start taking assignments via the app. With DoorDash, you can use your vehicle, scooter, motorcycle, or bike, and in particular locales, you can even walk to make deliveries. Dashers are paid weekly via direct deposit. Read our full review of DoorDash here.

12. Instacart

Instacart is an on-demand gig where you can get paid for full service (delivery and shopping) or just grocery shopping. This app is available for both iPhone and Android operating systems, and you can make your own schedule, and you’ll get paid weekly. You must be at least 18 years old to work for Instacart. If you’re curious about what it’s like working as an Instacart Shopper, check out our full review here. 

13. Rover

Rover is an on-demand app where you can earn money by walking and taking care of dogs and other animals! According to their website, top earners can earn up to $1,000 per month using the app. To get started, create a profile, accept requests (on your own schedule), and get paid within two days of the completed service. If this sounds fun, learn more in our Rover review here.

14. Uber Eats

If you don’t mind leaving your house, you can make money by delivering takeout food with Uber Eats. Available in 24 countries worldwide and available for iOS and Android devices, it’s an easy and fast way to make extra cash! With Uber Eats, you can use your bike, scooter, or car to make money in your spare time. Just download the mobile app, or apply online. You will need to pass a criminal background check, but you can start accepting orders after that’s complete. With Uber Eats, you can request payment up to five times a day with Instant Pay, so if you need money quickly, this is a great way to do so.

  • Uber Eats has a 4.8-star rating in the app store

15. Lyft

Do you enjoy driving and talking to people? Then using the Lyft app to make extra money might be your thing. Lyft is available in most major cities in the US and Canada. Like Uber Eats, you can make money quickly with Lyft by using their Express Pay method. According to their website, you’ll make money every minute of each trip based on your city’s per minute rate.

16. HopSkipDrive

With the smartphone app, HopSkipDrive, you can earn money transporting kids to school and other places they need to be. To become a CarDriver, you must be at least 23 years of age and have five years of caregiving experience. You’ll also need a clean driving record and criminal background check, as well as a 4-door vehicle. CareDrivers can create their own schedule and new drivers can earn up to $50 per ride! 

Use Coupons and Upload Your Receipts to Make Money with These Apps

These smartphone apps will pay you for scanning receipts, using coupons, purchasing items in certain places, and more! I use every one of these apps, and they’re excellent for making a little extra side cash! 

17. 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 grocery, supercenter, club store, dollar store, drug store, convenience mart, beauty supply, or pet supply store. Once receipts are inputted into the system, Receipt Hog will award you virtual coins that can be traded in for cash through PayPal, Visa, or an Amazon gift card.

The information that Receipt Hog collects is used in market research reports that companies will pay for. 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. If you decide to sign up here, use my referral code jen59328 for an extra bonus.

18. Fetch Rewards

Fetch Rewards is a smartphone app that rewards individuals for scanning their grocery receipts. You’ll earn a certain amount of points for each receipt that you upload to the app. You can also connect your email and Amazon accounts to earn points for your online grocery purchases. The last way you can earn points with Fetch Rewards is by referring your friends to the app. For each friend that you refer (and that scans a qualifying receipt), you’ll earn 2,000 points! Points can be used for magazines, sweepstake entries, charities, or a wide array of gift cards.

19. Ibotta

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 cashback 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.

20. Shopkick

I love this app! Shopkick is a fabulous rewards program 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. You can use Kicks 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.

21. 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 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.

Make Money With Online Surveys

If you enjoy taking surveys online, these survey apps are a great way to make a little extra money on the go! Be sure to read our tips for making the most of paid survey gigs. 

22. GAUGE Research

GAUGE Research is a smartphone app (both Apple and Android) that rewards you for taking surveys. Surveys consist of multiple-choice questions and a longer text or video response. Video responses pay out better than plain text responses. Surveys pay $10-$500, and payments go through PayPal. I usually earn $10 for text-based surveys that take less than five minutes.

23. Survey Junkie

If you enjoy participating in surveys on the go, download the Survey Junkie smartphone app! It’s available for iPhone and Android devices, and US, Canadian, and Australian residents are allowed. For each survey you take, you’ll be awarded a certain number of points that can be redeemed for gift cards from major retailers and cash via PayPal. Survey Junkie gets a 4.5-star rating in the Apple app store. We have a review here if you want to learn more about Survey Junkie.

24. Branded Surveys

Branded Surveys recruits survey takers from the US, Canada, and the UK to give their opinions on a wide variety of topics. For each survey you participate in, you’ll earn points that can be used to purchase gift cards from popular retailers, or you can get cashback with PayPal, direct deposit, or Visa gift card. You can learn more about Branded Surveys in our review here. 

Sell your Stuff With These Smartphone Apps

If you want to declutter, or you enjoy flipping flea market finds, use one of these smartphone apps to make money selling stuff. 

25. Poshmark

Poshmark is a smartphone app where individuals can sell women’s clothing, shoes, handbags, and accessories. Download the app (available to Apple and Android users), create an account, and take photos of the items you wish to sell. On Poshmark, you want to focus on taking high-quality images, as this will help you sell more. Once the item sells, print out a pre-paid, pre-addressed shipping label, and send off your item. Poshmark will deposit 80% of the sale price into your account when the buyer receives the item. Payments are made either by direct deposit or check. Poshmark accepts sellers from the US, Canada, Australia, and India. 

26. OfferUp

OfferUp, which recently acquired Letgo, is an app that allows you to buy and sell things online. Available in the Google Play Store and iTunes app store, OfferUp has shipping in all states except Alaska, Hawaii, and Arkansas – in these states, you can still meet in person using the app. People sell everything on OfferUp, from houses and cars to clothes, toys, DVDs, electronics, and fresh farm eggs! You can list your items for free on OfferUp, but there are fees for certain things like shipping costs and paid ads. If you’re looking to make extra money clearing the clutter from your house, OfferUp is a good option for reaching local and national buyers. 

27. Mercari

Similar to eBay, Mercari allows you to sell home decor, electronics, vintage items, clothes, toys, and more! To get started, download the app to your Android or Apple device. Take photos of the things you want to sell, write a catchy description with keywords, and post in the marketplace. It’s free to list items on Mercari, but fees are incurred when a sale is made. You can learn all about their fee structure here. 

Conclusion: Make Money With Your Smartphone

There are lots of ways to make money with your smartphone, however, not all are legit. You need to do your due diligence and read the reviews before installing on your phone and entering your information. I’m pretty 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.

  2. 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.

    • 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. =)

      • So I have never used any of these but am on such a budget!!! NEW MOM, Sorry! So I just took an online marketing and sales position through a global emergency roadside company, but as a MOM we all know how expensive it can get. So my question HOLLY are those apps that give you rewards or cash? ( I KNOW IT’s NOT MUCH, BUT EVERYTHING esp. Right Now EVERY SINGLE “PENNY-COUNTS”) ANd Thank you for all YOUR HARD WORK & DEDICATION, your site has been one of my go-2 sites since I found out about it! God Bless

      • Hi Jacqui,

        These are the apps that I use on a daily basis:

        With Swagbucks, Ibotta, and Receipt Hog you can get cash via PayPal. Job Spotter rewards you with Amazon Gift Cards. Drop rewards you with gift cards from stores like Starbucks, Domino’s Pizza, iTunes, IHOP, Sephora, Best Buy and others.

        Glad you’re enjoying the information on the site!

        Good luck and keep me posted!

  31. 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?

  33. 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.

    Reply to this comment

  39. I was wonderign if you have personally used the pact app? And if it’s really paying. Because the system works partly on photos that users accept or decline, and if its not a fair community there is no point.
    thank you in advance =)

  42. 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:-))

  49. Hello dear,
    In the past 10 min I was so careful attended and busy to read your post. I was really wanted to get some money as my pocket money. But unfortunately I don’t have any iPhone or Android phone. But have windows phone. You didn’t mentioned any windows phones apps to earn. Perhaps there’s no app for windows mobile. In that case I am very unlucky.

    By the way great helpful post.

    Thanks for it.

  53. Hey, Holly. I have reviewed this page and I love your list, but I am not convinced that you can actually make money using these applications. Are these apps a good way to make a second income? I’m a struggling mom and need affirmation that I can make do using only my android.

    • Kimberly, These are ways to make extra money. You shouldn’t count on them paying the rent. With that said … I probably make $400 a year using these. I personally use, ShopKick, Swagbacks, Ibotta, and Receipt Hog. And I’m always trying new ones out — currently using mPlaces, part of NexTrack. I’ve also played around with Foap.

  56. There is an app that pays just for text messaging friends it works through invite only you must be on usa text me for an invite 414 204 5359 the pay is cash and it’s daily to you prepaid debit.

  59. 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.

  60. 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.

  61. 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.

  71. @ 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?

  82. 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.

  88. 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
