So guys, after Pix exploded here in Brazil, some apps appeared to make real money that promise extra income by playing. I tested a few and I’ll be honest: they really work, but expectations need to be realistic.

I started with Cash App because it pays directly via Pix, which makes it much easier. Then I tried Make Money, which is pretty simple – you do daily check-ins, download partner apps, and complete small tasks. Nothing revolutionary, but it pays. The AppKarma is also straightforward, rewarding you for playing and referring friends.

Now, if you want something with bigger prizes, Big Time works through raffles – the earnings are higher, but it’s not guaranteed. Gamee has dozens of mini-games and also raffles real money. CashPirate is quite well-known, with a simple interface, and you earn by playing, watching videos, or downloading apps.

There’s also Toloka, which is more focused on tasks than games per se, but the dynamic is similar to a game. You classify images, answer questions, validate information. It pays via PayPal and then transfers to Pix.

Cash Alarm and Easy Bucks are slower, but steady. Premise is cool if you like quick surveys.

My advice? Choose real money apps that have a low minimum withdrawal amount. Most don’t pay directly via Pix – you receive payments through PayPal, gift cards, or cryptocurrencies and then convert. That’s normal. What matters is having patience, consistency, and realistic expectations. It won’t replace your salary, but it makes extra cash if you dedicate time.

And look, if later you want to explore real investments, then it’s worth studying more about markets, ETFs, stocks. But that’s another level – it requires financial education and discipline. For now, these apps are good to start handling money practically.
