You know those apps that promise free Pix earnings and extra income? Well, I tested several and I’ll be honest with you about what really works and what’s a waste of time.

I started with Make Money because it seemed the simplest. Basically, you do daily check-ins, test partner apps, and complete small tasks. Withdrawals are via PayPal, then you transfer to Pix. It works, but the amounts are quite modest. Then I tried AppKarma, which is pretty similar—you play, complete challenges, and refer friends. The difference is that it also offers gift cards, not just PayPal.

I tried Big Time, which operates through a lottery. I found it more interesting because the prizes are larger, but it’s like a lottery—there’s no guarantee. FeaturePoints is more comprehensive—it has games, surveys, app testing, and referrals. I recommend this if you want an app to earn free Pix with more options.

Gamee has several quick mini-games if you really enjoy playing. CashPirate is quite well-known here in Brazil and pays for real, but it also takes time. There’s also Toloka, which isn’t a game in the traditional sense but works with simple tasks—classifying images, answering questions. It pays via PayPal, then you transfer to Pix.

Cash App is perhaps the most practical because it allows direct withdrawal via Pix, without the intermediate step of PayPal. Cash Alarm, Easy Bucks, and Premise also work, but earnings are slow.

Now I’ll be honest with you: these apps to earn free Pix won’t replace your salary. They’re more for that extra money—around 50 to 200 reais per month if you’re consistent. They require patience and time. But if you’re already on your phone anyway, why not earn something while doing it? The important thing is not to spend money to use any of them—all are free. Avoid apps that charge registration fees or ask for an initial deposit, because that’s not earning, it’s losing.
