Survey Junkie is popular for its straightforward approach to paid surveys. If you want an honest review, and tips, check out our Survey Junkie reviews page. But there are several other platforms that offer similar or broader opportunities to earn extra cash online. I have collected some some of the best alternatives:

Survey Junkie Alternatives:

Swagbucks.

Swagbucks is one of the most well-known alternatives to Survey Junkie. They offer a wide range of activities beyond just surveys. Users can earn points (called SBs/SwagBucks) by watching videos, shopping online, completing surveys, and even playing games. These points can then be redeemed for gift cards or cash through PayPal.

InboxDollars.

InboxDollars provides a platform where users can get paid for taking surveys, reading emails, playing games, and completing various tasks or offers. Unlike some other sites, InboxDollars rewards users in cash rather than points, which many find appealing for its simplicity and directness.

MyPoints.

MyPoints is similar to Swagbucks (both are owned by the same company, Prodege, LLC) and offers users the opportunity to earn points through surveys, watching videos, playing games, and online shopping. Points can be redeemed for gift cards or cash via PayPal. MyPoints also offers a welcome bonus to new members, which is a nice perk.

Branded Surveys.

Branded Surveys is an online market research panel,similar to Survey Junkie. Users participants can earn money by completing surveys, participating in polls, and engaging in various research activities. After signing up and completing your profile, you can start taking surveys matched to your demographic information. So it is very similar to Survey Junkey. Surveys are the primary way to earn points on the platform.

Vindale Research.

Vindale Research pays users cash for completing online surveys. It’s known for offering some of the highest-paying survey opportunities in the industry. Payments are made in cash via PayPal, making the process straightforward. Vindale Research also offers payment for watching videos and giving feedback on products and services.

Toluna.

Toluna is a community website dedicated to providing consumer insights through surveys and polls. Apart from surveys, users can also create their own polls and opinions to engage with the community. Rewards can be redeemed for gift cards or cash through PayPal. It’s a great platform for those who enjoy being part of a community while earning.

Pinecone Research.

Pinecone Research is a bit more exclusive than other survey sites, as membership is often by invitation or through a special signup link. It offers surveys and product testing opportunities, with a straightforward cash compensation model. Pinecone is known for its high-quality surveys and relatively higher pay per survey compared to many competitors.

Opinion Outpost

Opinion Outpost offers paid survey opportunities and occasionally product testing. Users earn points for each completed activity, which can be redeemed for cash via PayPal or for gift cards. Opinion Outpost is appreciated for its low cash-out threshold and quick payment processing.

Survey Monkey.

SurveyMonkey, now known as Momentive, is primarily a tool designed for creating, sending, and analyzing surveys, rather than a platform for earning money by taking surveys. You cannot make money with Survey Monkey.

However, SurveyMonkey offers a program called SurveyMonkey Contribute for people who want to take surveys. Instead of earning money directly for themselves, participants can earn money for charity and receive sweepstakes entries for each survey they complete.

Survey Tips.

I recommend trying a few to find the sites that best fit your interests. I have not tried all, but Swagbucks, Branded Surveys and Survey Monkey are the most popular sites and Survey Junkie alternatives. See my tips on getting the highest payout on the Survey Junkie page.
