I’m testing some of these money-making game apps that everyone keeps sharing for earning money via Pix, and I need to be honest: most of them aren’t the “gold” they promise. But there are some that really work, only the earnings are pretty modest.

I started with Make Money and AppKarma, which are pretty straightforward. Basically, you download, sign up, complete some boring tasks (testing apps, answering surveys, doing check-ins), and you accumulate a few small amounts. The problem is it takes a long time to gather anything that’s actually worth it. After weeks, I made about 15 reais, which isn’t exactly extra income that changes your life.

CashPirate is a bit better because at least the interface is cleaner, and you can withdraw faster via PayPal (then you transfer it to Pix). Cash App is one of the few that pays directly via Pix, which makes it much easier. But again, the amounts are small.

I also tested Toloka, which is more focused on microtasks than actual games. Here, you rate images, validate information, answer simple questions. It pays better than the others, but it requires more concentration and there isn’t always a task available.

The truth is that none of these apps will replace a job. If you want a real game to earn money via Pix, expect to make around 30-50 reais per month if you stay consistent. Big Time and Gamee have sweepstakes, so the chance of winning something bigger exists, but it’s not guaranteed.

If you really want to earn more, the path is to learn how to invest instead—stock market, ETFs, that kind of thing. Yes, there’s risk, but at least you’re putting your money to work rather than just spending time on apps that pay cents.

Has anyone else here tested any of these? What was your experience?
