I found this talk about apps that really make money through Pix interesting. There’s been a lot of talk about earning extra income by playing, so I decided to research how it actually works in practice. It’s not the kind of thing that will replace your salary, but you can definitely accumulate some extra cash.

There are several apps that genuinely pay money via Pix, like Make Money, which is pretty simple — just check in daily, test partner apps, and complete small tasks. AppKarma works similarly, rewarding you for playing recommended apps and referring friends. There’s also Big Time, which operates through sweepstakes, FeaturePoints, which is quite comprehensive (play, answer surveys, test apps), and Gamee with dozens of mini-games.

What I found cool is CashPirate, which is quite well-known here in Brazil, with a simple interface and recurring payments. Then there’s Toloka, which isn’t exactly a game but works with gamified tasks — classifying images, answering questions, validating information. Cash App is one of the few that allows direct withdrawals via Pix, which makes it much easier for those in Brazil.

There’s also Cash Alarm, which rewards your playtime, Easy Bucks, which combines various earning types (games, surveys, invites), and Premise, focused on quick tasks like surveys and data collection locally.

Most pay via PayPal, and then you transfer to Pix, which isn’t ideal but it works. Withdrawals usually have a minimum amount, and ease of use varies a lot from app to app. The key is to be patient, consistent, and not expect to get rich from this. It’s more like that extra money, you know? And it’s important to have realistic expectations — these apps won’t make you a fortune, but you can save some cash over time.

Those who want to earn more steadily tend to go beyond this and learn to invest seriously in stocks, ETFs, currencies (BTC is around $78.11K, ETH at $2.19K, DOGE at $0.11 right now), and commodities. But that’s a whole other level. Before investing real money, it’s worth using a demo account to practice and understand how everything works without risk.
