So, I was browsing apps to make some extra money and found several that actually pay via Pix. It's not to get rich, but it does provide some supplementary income. People are using it a lot because Pix has made transfers much easier.

I started testing Make Money and Cash App, which are pretty simple. Make Money works with daily check-ins, downloading apps, and completing small tasks. I've paid via PayPal and then transferred to Pix. Cash App is more straightforward — it allows almost direct withdrawal to Pix, which is very convenient.

Then I tried AppKarma and CashPirate. With AppKarma, you play, complete challenges, and refer friends. CashPirate is similar but offers more options — you can watch videos, download apps, and play. Both pay via PayPal, and then you transfer to Pix. The interface is very simple.

Toloka is different because it’s not a traditional game. You do micro-tasks like classifying images, answering questions, validating information. It seems like a game because it has that challenge system, you know? It pays in dollars, and you cash out via PayPal. People looking for something more reliable usually use this.

I also tested Big Time, which works with lotteries — the prizes are bigger but not guaranteed. And Gamee, which has dozens of free mini-games. Both are more for those who really enjoy playing.

FeaturePoints, Easy Bucks, and Premise also work well. FeaturePoints combines games, surveys, and app testing. Easy Bucks is very diverse — games, surveys, invites. Premise focuses on quick tasks.

What I learned: none of these apps replace a salary, but they do generate real extra cash. You need patience and consistency. Most pay via PayPal first, then you transfer to Pix (except Cash App, which is more direct). The minimum withdrawal amounts vary, but they’re usually not high.

The tip is not to set your expectations too high, you know? It’s not a fixed income, but if you have free time and stay consistent, you can earn around 50 to 100 reais per month. Some apps that really pay are Cash App, CashPirate, Make Money, and Toloka.

Oh, and about investing seriously: if you want something more long-term, then it’s worth learning about the stock market, ETFs, cryptocurrencies. BTC is at $77.47K, ETH at $2.14K, DOGE at $0.10 — but that’s another story and requires financial education.
