There are millions of survey sites available from where you can earn a lot of money online. Companies are always looking to recruit new members to fill out surveys and hear out opinions. Companies value opinions and will repay ample money to understand or learn about their targeted audience’s preferences.
While talking about the prospect of money is fun and enlightening, not all survey sites are reputable or can be trusted. Some people prefer specific surveys for many reasons, and other times people do not qualify for individual surveys.
So, all being said, it is crucial to select the perfect website cause, let’s be honest, you do not want to waste a long time on trashy survey sites.
Yes, I did do an all-nighter to find out which survey websites have an amazing user experience. Thankfully, my computer is still virus-free, 5 years going strong!
I compiled a list of surveys that I think are worth trying out; some are about a particular region. So, go ahead, try out which one suits you the most.
Here are some legit survey websites to earn some extra cash.
SurveyJunkie
With over 3 million active users, there is not much proof needed. SurveyJunkie is a really legit website that is extremely easy to use, no matter where you are.
SurveyJunkie is completely free, and the best thing about this survey website is that there is no spam in your emails. So, in summary, you can earn money while you are bored at home or maybe in lockdown.

Swagbucks
Swagbucks has been around for almost 15 years, and honestly, it is entertaining to use. In fact, there is more than one way to earn money. Swagbucks offers money via watching videos, answering surveys, and shopping online.
This survey site offers a point system in terms of SB. So, whenever you complete a survey, you get something in between 1- 350 SBs. For every 100SBs, you get $1. Swagbucks has really cool offers like a $10 signup bonus for new members.
- Availability: Most Countries

InboxDollars And InboxPounds
InboxDollars has been around for almost 14 years and has been one of the world’s most recognized survey sites. The only problem with InboxDollars is that you get paid significantly less for each survey, so you must make many of them. So, in other words, people who want to go through surveys quickly move on.
InboxPounds, on the contrary, is a newer version of InboxDollars. The services are the same; the only difference is that you are paid in pounds, and InboxPounds is available for the United Kingdom people.
Unlike Swagbucks, this survey site accumulates every completed survey in terms of cash instead of points. Therefore, I found it much more convenient, as you already knew how much you would earn.
After using it for quite some time, I admit this is quite an amazing survey app and provides an abundance of surveys to choose from. I would highly recommend it.
- Availability: United States (InboxDollars), United Kingdom (InboxPounds)
- Estimated Earnings: Up to $5 per Survey (InboxDollars), up to £5 per Survey (InboxPounds)
- Payment Method: PayPal, gift cards, or Check
- Minimum to Cash Out: $30 (InboxDollars), £20 (InboxPounds)
- Rating: 4.5/5
Branded Surveys
Branded Surveys is a platform that I have thoroughly enjoyed, and I think everyone should check it out. It is a user-friendly site that has a super simple sign up process. Among the other survey sites, it is comparatively young, but it is worthwhile.
After setting up your profile, you can get on with surveys almost immediately. Reaching 1000 points means $10, and that is when you can cash out in your local currency. Branded Survey has a really cool loyalty program in which you can keep upgrading through three tiers: Gold, Silver, and Bronze. Each level has its own benefits, which helps you out in your total points.
With a few tweaks here and there, you could earn an extra number of points and earn more than you usually do.
- Availability: United States, Canada, and the UK
- Estimated Earnings: Up to $3 per Survey
- Payment Method: PayPal Or Gift Card
- Minimum To Cash Out: 1000 Points or $10
- Rating: 4.75/5
LifePoints
With over 5 million members worldwide and a rating of 4.5/5 by Trustpilot, who is to say LifePoints is not one of the best around. You can now become a member for free, and you can straight away start earning money.
Filling out your profile will allow LifePoints to provide you with surveys about you. LifePoints has a wider range of topics for surveys like automobiles, technology, or household brands. The fun fact is that you get 10 points if you confirm your email and fill out your basic profile.

Vindale Research
Vindale Research is definitely up there with the best survey websites, mostly because it provides surveys with too high pays. This survey appeals to many people; well, the question is why anyone would not want to survey $50.
Another attraction of Vindale Research is that after every survey, your earnings are accumulated in cash. I honestly prefer it when everything is there, and I do not have to calculate how much I will receive or what I have earned; hence, it just makes my life easy.
- Availability: United States, Canada, United Kingdom, and Australia
- Estimated Earnings: Up to $2 per Survey
- Payment Method: PayPal Or Check via mail
- Minimum to Cash Out: $50
- Rating: 4/5
Pinecone Research
I kind of like to call this website the “Old Lady.” Apologies to Juventus for stealing their nickname, lol. Anyway, this survey website is one of the oldest on this list, with 21 years of experience.
Pinecone Research surveys are meant for future products, so the online surveys are taken a bit seriously. Most surveys are invited only, which basically means you can do a few surveys a month. Plus, you cannot mess around with the survey, which means you got to do the surveys properly.
Although Pinecone Research is a bit strict and pertains to specific demographics, it has the highest ROI (return on investment) I have seen so far. This survey site comes under the elite list, and although hard to cope with, it is worth it.
- Availability: United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and Germany
- Estimated Earnings: $3 per Survey
- Payment Method: Check via Mail, PayPal, Or Gift Card
- Minimum To Cash Out: $1
- Rating: 4/5
Toluna
Toluna is an online market research survey site that acts as a middleman between you and leading companies. Also, just a quick heads up, Toluna provides 500 bonus points just for signing up!
You must have figured out by now that Toluna is a survey site that calculates your accomplishments in terms of points. Luckily if per se you do not qualify for a particular survey, you do not receive any disqualification points. Toluna has a special thing known as sweepstakes, which is when you fail to qualify for a particular survey. Sweepstakes offer you a chance to win something from the site. It is not that cool!!!!

- Payment Method: PayPal, Or Gift cards
- Minimum To Cash Out: 10,000 points

Panda Research
Panda Research has been around since 2005 and has the same signup process as the other surveys on the list except for one complication. You must provide a valid phone number to be confirmed as a member of the survey site. Some surveys even pay you around $50 each.
Panda Research also offers the opportunity to earn up to $25 for reading paid emails. On the contrary, you can only cash out in increments of $50.

Conclusion
In conclusion, the above survey sites are trustworthy, but here are some important things you need to keep in mind. For instance, surveys cannot make you a millionaire or super-rich, for that matter of fact.
I would also recommend making an alias email address to do survey sites because you might get flooded with emails, and it will be hard for you to find survey offers. Do not lie in the surveys or rush through them because if your answers are inconsistent, you will not be rewarded and might just be banned. Of course, none of us want that to happen.
Thousands of people search for surveys each month, and there are tons of other websites that provide the answers to their questions. So, start earning some easy, quick cash, and let me know in the comments below.
