I'm testing various apps that pay via Pix and thought it would be good to share what I discovered. Basically, yes, you can make some extra money playing, but you need to be realistic — it's not to replace your salary, it's more to supplement it.

The apps that pay via Pix operate in different ways. Some pay directly, others you withdraw through PayPal and then transfer. Cash App is one of the few that sends directly to your account, which makes it much easier. But there are several others that work well too.

I tested Make Money, AppKarma, Big Time, FeaturePoints, Gamee — all follow the same logic: you do daily check-ins, download partner apps, complete simple tasks, play mini-games, or answer surveys. CashPirate and Toloka also fit this vibe. Cash Alarm is slower but steady. Easy Bucks combines various earning methods. Premise and AppKarma focus on quick tasks.

What causes the most confusion is that practically none pay directly via Pix (except Cash App and Mercado Pago in some cases). Most go to PayPal first, then you transfer to Pix. Some also offer gift cards (Amazon, Steam, PlayStation).

The apps that pay via Pix really exist, but the earnings are slow. You accumulate points, virtual tickets, or coins, then cash out when reaching the minimum. Big Time works through lotteries, so the prizes are larger but not guaranteed. Gamee also uses lotteries.

If you want more consistent earnings, the thing is to learn how to invest properly. But that’s a whole other story — stock markets, ETFs, currencies (BTC is at 77.94K, ETH at 2.18K, DOGE at 0.11). That’s what really generates long-term income, not just some app change.

Tip: start with apps that pay via Pix without deposit, understand how it works, but don’t set high expectations. It’s extra income, not a miracle. And always read the terms before signing up.
