4 Reward Apps in 2025.. Which One Actually Paid Me?

Testing the PollApp in 2025

So the first app I gave a shot today was called PollApp. This is what it looks like now in 2025. Right up in the top right corner, you've got your balance, and right underneath that, you’ll find all the different ways to earn. Something I noticed pretty quick is that there are multiple survey providers available. But if you’re not a fan of surveys, they actually have a playtime rewards section too, which is excellent.

In Australia, at least for me, surveys seem to be capped at around a dollar worth of currency. I don’t know what you’ll get in your own country, which is why I never make guarantees or promises—it's just impossible to know what the rates will be for everyone.

When I tapped on the withdraw button, it took me to the cashout area. PayPal minimum is $1 here, Revolut is $240, and a virtual Visa card starts at $80. You can also donate your balance if you want to.

Something pretty interesting too—they have a leaderboard where the top four users get rewards weekly. There are also two game reward types: Playtime Rewards and MyChips. The Playtime section had apps like Alibaba, Slice Master, and Playoku offering what looked like some solid rewards. Just remember with these, they’re multi-tiered, so the more you progress, the harder they get.

I ended up cashing out $3.50 through PayPal from surveys alone, and the app paid me instantly here in Australia. That’s exactly what I like to see from a reward app in 2025.

JustPlay’s New Challenges and Loyalty Rewards

Now moving onto JustPlay. They’ve got this new promotion going on, and I had to check it out for the video. You’ll see there’s this extravaganza event with a million jackpot challenge. They say you can earn up to $100 by completing all the tasks.

If you’re not familiar with JustPlay, the main idea is that you earn loyalty coins by playing games, and then every 3 hours you get rewarded based on how much you filled the gold bar. In this session, I had $3.91 sitting in my balance.

So I completed a set of five or six challenges, took about an hour in total. They gave me 39 cents for the challenges, plus I generated 228,000 loyalty coins. My balance went from $3.27 to $3.91, so all up I got about 64 cents for that hour of play.

The games themselves are fun, and to be honest, I feel like I'd have better chances just grinding Treasure Master. They’ve really expanded their game library, and there are loads of titles to earn from now. The offer wall also has some big numbers showing, like Rockin Cash offering 1 billion coins.

How much that converts into? I have no idea—they don’t tell you. But again, the reward always came through instantly in my experience.

Freecash App Updates and Payout Experience

Next up, Freecash. This is what the app looks like now. Balance at the top of the screen, followed by a “recommended for you” section with mostly game offers. I had $44 sitting there in my account.

They’ve definitely made their system stricter when it comes to withdrawing. You’ll likely need to show ID or verify a phone number now, and that’s probably because of how high the rewards are getting. Some of the offers are absolutely wild with their payouts, but also very hard to complete.

Survey rewards in Australia are still capped around $3.48 from what I saw, which I think is above average. The platform has multiple offer walls too, and they all come with different bonuses throughout the month.

When I went to withdraw, I used PayPal and got my reward within 10 minutes. That’s $149 worth, but just so you know, it took a couple of months to build that up from surveys and referrals. Definitely not something that happened overnight. They’re a lot more careful now with verifying who you are before handing anything out.

Breaking Down a High-Paying Freecash Offer

So for the Freecash offer I focused on, I picked Domino Dreams for Android, which had a reward of $585 AUD. The interface for tracking your offer progress was clean and made it easy to follow.

There was also a bonus where if I spent $2 in the app, I’d get $448 back. As I moved through the game, there were also daily play rewards and multiple milestone targets to reach. Honestly, it’s one of the more layered offers I’ve seen on Freecash.

But here’s the catch—without spending real money, I ran out of coins in the game pretty fast and hit a wall. So unless you’re willing to spend a bit, completing it might be tricky. Maybe you’ll have better luck, but that was my experience.

HeyCash Account Review and Payout Outcome

Now, let’s talk about HeyCash. A few days ago I posted a video saying they put my account under review. I couldn’t withdraw anything—even though I’d already done the account verification before.

At the time of the review, I had 3,500 points, which was worth around $564 AUD. What I really liked about HeyCash was how many surveys they had available, and the payouts were actually decent for the time spent.

If you’re not into surveys, they do have an offer wall with some crazy high-paying rewards, like Rockin’ Cash nearly at $2,000. And yes, those are multi-tiered and extremely difficult, so don’t expect an easy time with them.

They also have playtime rewards, which in Australia were actually pretty solid. I’m very curious to know what kind of rates people in other countries get.

Now the weird part is I didn’t hear anything back from support, but when I checked again a day later, my account was fine. I was able to withdraw $20 USD, and now I’ve redeemed a total of $41.40 from HeyCash. Just keep in mind that most of that came from referrals.

Final Verdict on These Reward Apps

So wrapping everything up—PollApp gave me an instant reward after a $3.50 withdrawal through surveys. JustPlay had a fun event going on, but the reward I got didn’t feel super worth the time. Freecash has kept its high-paying reputation, but now comes with strict ID checks. And the HeyCash situation was strange, but they did come through in the end.

If there’s one thing I can say, it’s that all of these apps worked for me here in Australia. That doesn’t mean it’ll be the same for you, so I can’t make any guarantees. But in terms of personal experience, they all did pay out—just with their own pros and cons.
