Are Money-Making Apps Still Worth It? Let’s Find Out!
Hey everyone, Vince here! Today, I’m diving into some of the latest money-making apps that claim to pay you for playing games. But let’s be real—are they actually worth our time? I’ve been asked a few times to check out some of these apps again to see if their updates have made a difference, and I have to say, some have added new games, which is nice. But the real question is—are the earnings any better?
A lot of these apps follow the same model: play games, watch ads, and wait a few hours to cash out. But here’s the problem—none of them clearly explain how much their in-game currency actually converts to in real money. You have to play first and find out later, which can be pretty frustrating. In this video, I’ll be testing some of the most well-known apps to see if they’re still worth using. Let’s jump in!
Cuze Play & Earn Money: Is It Worth Your Time?
First up, we have Cuze Play & Earn Money. When you launch it, you’ll notice a decent selection of games to choose from, and I have to admit, it’s improved a little since I last checked it out. But here’s the thing—does it actually pay well?
Cuze follows the same model as many other apps: you play games, rack up points, and cash out every three hours. They even have a playtime reward system, which sounds promising at first, but there’s a catch. You never actually know how much those points are worth until after you’ve played. That’s a huge downside for me.
For example, one of the featured games, Lords Mobile: Kingdom Wars, offers around 32,000 points, but without knowing the conversion rate, that could mean anything. From my testing, it seems like around 10,000 points equal $1, which isn’t great. I played Shadow Squad for an hour, and let me tell you—right away, I got hit with an ad break, which made me laugh. The game itself isn’t bad, sort of reminds me of Archero, but the earnings? Absolute rubbish. One full hour of gameplay only gave me three cents.
Cuze has a 25-cent minimum cashout, so technically, you could withdraw pretty quickly, but the rates are way too low. It’s 100% legit, but is it worth it? At least here in Australia, I’d say no unless you’re just playing for fun.
Money Time: A Better Alternative to Cuze?
Next up, we have Money Time, and I know most of you have probably heard of this one before. It’s been around for a long time and has had quite a few updates. They’re still adding new games, and the list just keeps growing, which is nice to see.
Just like Cuze, Money Time works by letting you play games, earn their in-game currency, and cash out every three hours. But here’s where it gets interesting—while there are multiple games to choose from, the best-paying one is Sword Slash. If you’re looking to earn, this is the game you want to focus on.
I played Sword Slash for an hour, and unlike Cuze, the earnings were much better. I managed to rack up 91 cents, which is way more than the three cents I got from Cuze. They even have a one-cent minimum cashout, so you can withdraw almost instantly, which is a big plus.
Of course, the usual issue remains—the offer wall doesn’t tell you how much you’ll actually earn before you complete an offer. That’s something I always say needs to change across all these apps. But at least Money Time pays instantly, and for now, it’s offering a pretty decent return for time spent playing.
Just Play Offers Massive Lunar New Year Bonuses
Now let’s talk about Just Play, and wow, this app is making some serious moves right now. If you’ve ever used Just Play, you know they constantly tweak things, but this time, they’re going all out with a $1,000 cash bonanza event.
For the next 10 days, they’re offering 150% payout bonuses as part of their Lunar New Year Festival. This is a limited-time event, so depending on when you’re watching this, it may or may not still be running.
Just Play already had one of the most consistent payout systems, where every three hours, your earnings are converted into real cash. But now, thanks to this bonus, their offer wall rewards have been massively boosted. This is the perfect time to take advantage of any high-paying offers if Just Play is available in your country.
I played Treasure Master for one hour, and the results were insane—$1.82 earned in just 60 minutes! That’s one of the highest rates I’ve seen in a money-making app. The minimum cashout is around $1–$2, and they still pay instantly. If you were ever thinking of trying Just Play, now is the time.
Best Play Delivers Unexpectedly High Earnings
Now for Best Play, and I have to admit, I was genuinely surprised by this one. Lately, Best Play hasn’t had the best reputation for earnings, but for some reason, this time around, it blew everything else out of the water.
Like the other apps, Best Play follows the same system—play games, earn their in-game currency, and cash out every four hours instead of three. They have a game coin system, and while they label certain games as "fast earning" or "slow earning," I don’t think that rating system means much. What really matters is how many ads you watch—more ads = more earnings.
For this test, I played Dot Link, a simple puzzle game where you connect colored dots without breaking the lines. And after one hour? $2.25 earned! That’s the highest payout I’ve seen for one hour of gameplay so far.
Best Play lets you cash out to PayPal, Amazon, or donate, and yes, they still pay instantly. If these rates hold up, Best Play might actually be worth keeping an eye on.
