How to Make Money With Your Smartphone

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

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

24 Ways to Make Money With Your Smartphone

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 on your laptop or via the 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!

CheckPoints

CheckPoints allows you to make money by scanning barcodes, taking quizzes, watching videos, searching the web, and completing offers. Trade points in for gift cards from Amazon, Target, and Walmart or earn entries for giveaways. CheckPoints has been featured on Mashable and is both Android and iPhone compatible.

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 that you refer to the app (once they earn 1,000 points). Every 5,000 points equals $5 in gift card value. Points can be traded in for gift cards from Amazon, Starbucks, Best Buy, Lowes, Walmart, and more.

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.

Dosh

With this smartphone app, you connect your credit card to their secure platform. For every dollar that you spend at a participating retailer, you’ll earn a varying (usually 2-10%) cashback 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 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.

How to Make Money with Your Smartphone

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 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. This app is currently only available for iPhone users.

Fetch Rewards

Fetch Rewards is a smartphone app that rewards individuals for scanning their grocery receipts. For each receipt you that you upload to the app, you’ll earn a certain amount of points. 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.

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.

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 payout better than plain text responses. Rewards (gift cards from 100 retailers) or PayPal cash get stored in your account, and once you reach $5, you can claim your reward. I usually earn $1 for text-based surveys that take less than five minutes.

Getaround

Getaround is a smartphone application that allows you to rent your car out for short periods. 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.

How to Make Money with Your Smartphone

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

GigWalk is a mobile workforce of individuals using their iPhone or Andriod 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. GigWalk has been featured on CNN, Business Insider, and Forbes.

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 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. 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 interested in earning with this app, you can read our full review here.

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

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 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.

How to Make Money with Your Smartphone

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. Once the item sells, print out a pre-paid, pre-addressed shipping label, and send off your item. When the buyer receives the item, Poshmark will deposit 80 percent of the sale price into your account. Payments are made either by direct deposit or check.

Postmates

With Postmates, Android and iPhone users can earn money delivering groceries, alcohol, food, and retail items with your car, motorcycle, scooter, or bicycle. With this app, your earnings are available immediately after the delivery, and you can cash out instantly, as many times per day as needed. Otherwise, payments are automatically deposited to your bank account weekly. You must have a linked debit card to receive payments.

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 with virtual coins that can be traded in for cash through PayPal or Visa, or an Amazon gift card. The information that Receipt Hog collects is summarized and 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.

ReceiptPal

ReceiptPal is another app that rewards you for scanning your receipts. For every four receipts, you scan with the app, you’ll earn 100 points. You can also connect your Amazon and email accounts; each action will reward you 300 points. Lastly, you can refer friends to the app! For each friend that downloads the app with your referral link, and connects their email, you’ll earn 250 points (up to 6,250 per month). Points can be traded in for Amazon or popular retail gift cards.

Rover

Rover is an on-demand app where you can earn money by walking and taking care of dogs! 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.

Shopkick

I’m totally addicted to this app! Shopkick is a 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.

One Last Word About Earning Money With Smartphone Apps 

While there are lots of smartphone apps that you can use to make money, 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 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.

  5. Vernon Ferguson

    Am I required to pay taxes on the value of the gift cards from apps? If the answer is yes what form would I use?

  6. Danika Carey

    Hello, I’m stuck at home with a broken ankle and I’m dying to make money from home!!! I don’t have a computer. Do you have any link jobs that offer a computer to work from home? I’m ready like NOW now, I’m going cuckoo!

    I appreciate your hard work and dedication to helping others advance in life.

    Again… a tonnathanx

    • Holly - The Work at Home Woman

      Hi Danika,

      So sorry to hear about your ankle!

      I know Apple and World Travel Holdings give their employees computers. Action Verb gives new employees a $2,500 sign-on bonus for purchasing a new computer or office equipment.

      Good luck!

    • kaaeekere

      is there any other way of making other things apart from money… money … money.. I hate money

      • Ashley

        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.

  11. Misty

    I have downloaded and deleted a lot of apps. Swagbuck bc they never had a survey available. Inboxdollars bc of the same thing. You have to lie on those things to get any kind of survey. 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??

    U can reply via my email alternatively [email protected]

    • Holly - The Work at Home Woman

      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. =)

      • Jacqui L. Jasieniecki

        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

        • Holly - The Work at Home Woman

          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!

  28. Joshua

    Actually I have never thought about using my smartphone to make money. For me, I will try using Viggle because it an entertaining way to make money.

    Thanks for sharing this information.

  29. deuugene

    Hello friends, here’s that really works. Android/smart phone is a must to join. Download & install “ChampCash” app from Google play store. Complete the challenge by installing apps to become eligible to earn. Earn money by installing apps, completing offers & reffering friends–upto 7 levels from direct referrals. Unlimited chance to earn. It’s a govt. registered company. Launched in worldwide from 20th June,2016. Withdraw earnings via bank transfer/PayPal/E-Gift cards. Free to join + $1 bonus.

  31. Angela

    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?

    • Deborah

      Another thing about inboxdollars is that you don’t get paid. I reached my threshold, after a year of reading emails and using it as a search engine. When I cashed out everything was fine, however, the day I was supposed to receive my payout, nothing happened. I messaged them asking about this issue and they terminated my account, saying I violated their terms and conditions. I wouldn’t recommend this site to anyone.

  33. Oleg Makarov

    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.

    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 =)

    hi, i wanted to know if there are such online jobs i can do with my smartphone in Ghana or any that pays international.thanks for your help

  42. Melissa

    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:-))

  43. Nini

  49. Fahim

    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.

    Regards
    Fahim

    • Holly - The Work at Home Woman

      That’s a great question! I’m not sure which moneymaking apps work with the Windows smartphone. I suggest looking at their app store and type in “make money”, “earn points” or “coupon apps”. If I hear of anything, I’ll let you know. Good luck!

    Looking to use my note 4 and make it pay for itself. I’m seeing your many opportunities. I wish you to please advise me as to the “higher income earning” opportunities that you’ve discovered. Do you have like a top 10 list?
    Please advise
    Sincerely

  52. makayla

    There’s this phone app called feature points. It pays you through Paypal to try apps and games. just follow the directions when you get to the site and you’re all good. You can even refer your friends and you both get extra points. http://featurepoints.com/web/

    Thanks, happy money making.

  53. Kimberly

    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.

    • Holly - The Work at Home Woman

      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.

  54. michelle j

    ebates is excellent too! if you frequently online shop, use this site to find your favorite stores and proceed as usual :) try it and share it! hope you love it as much as me :)

  56. tancy

    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.

  57. Karen

    Has anyone tried http://www.appkush.com ? I make up to 50$ per week as amazon giftcards there for simple app reviews from my android or ipad. I like it cause it doesnt take a lot of time. Anyone know of similar services ?

  59. David Alvarado

    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?

  72. Jelani

    Hey! I really loved the article you shared. I found a lot of awesome new resources. Thanks! I tried the FreeEats.com page and loved it. Enjoy!

    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.

    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

      The only reason I am not down loading this app is because your reviews were too poor for me. I’m interested in making quick money. Not where it takes me 6 months to earn $10. Sorry. Not worth it!!!

      • Jasmine Ely

        Actually, I have received 2x £5 amazon gift vouchers from Swagbucks. Its great I recommend that one. Haven’t tried any of the others.

    • Nancy Walter

      Hello Michael Roche, I am a user of your app Instant Rewards and I have been trying to contact someone from Instant Rewards for three months now for $38 USD owed to me via PayPal that I have not received yet … I am owed $29 from 6/5 and $9 from 7/5 and you have ignored me this whole time your phone number is bogus … no one ever answers. Why? Are you a scam? Well I see a lawyer tomorrow afternoon to resolve this and channel 6 news here in Maine is going to do a story on it this weekend as well as The Sun Journal. Can you at least respond to me to to try to resolve this issue or let me know what’s going on at least. I am not a joke no one is but your app sure thinks so … so disrespectful … you are going to be in huge trouble if you don’t stop ripping people off!

    • Michael

      Not to mention the fact that your app isnt even available in the United States App Store

    • Isaac charles
