I was researching apps that really make money and found quite a few interesting things. Many people ask if it really works, and the truth is: yes, it works, but don’t expect to get rich, you know? It’s more like an extra income.

I tested several, and some that actually pay are Make Money, AppKarma, CashPirate, and Big Time. Most of them work like this: you download, do simple tasks, play mini-games, answer surveys, and accumulate credits that are later converted into money. The thing is, almost all pay via PayPal first, then you transfer to Pix. Cash App is one of the few that pays directly via Pix, which makes it much easier.

There’s also Toloka, which isn’t exactly a game, but works in a gamified way—you complete micro-tasks and earn. Many people don’t know about it, but it really pays.

Now, the important part: don’t expect to get rich from this. The apps that truly make money generate extra cash, like 50-100 reais per month if you stay consistent. Some people think that’s little, but for those wanting some extra money for daily expenses, it works. The secret is not to fall for promises of ‘get rich quick’—that’s a trap.

To cash out, there’s usually a minimum amount (like 10-20 reais), and then you can transfer it. Most take a few days to arrive in your account.

A tip: before putting real money into anything, test these apps without spending anything. See if it really works for you. Everyone has a different experience, so what works well for one might not work for another.

Has anyone tried any of these? What was your experience?
