You know that app that earns money through Pix that everyone keeps talking about? Well, I tested several and found some interesting things. At first, I thought it was all a scam, but there really are apps that earn money through Pix—just not that whole thing of getting rich while you sleep, got it?

I started with Make Money because it’s pretty straightforward. You do a check-in, download some partner apps, complete the minimum tasks... the balance keeps accumulating in dollars. The catch is that you withdraw via PayPal and then transfer it to Pix. Not directly, but it works. Then I tested AppKarma—very similar, rewards for playing, challenges inside games, and a referral program that brings in extra.

Now, if you want something faster, Cash App is basically the only one that pays directly via Pix. Surveys, games, simple tasks. Way more practical than the others for people here in Brazil.

There’s also Big Time, which is based on raffles—the prizes are bigger, but it’s really just luck, not guaranteed. And CashPirate, which is well-known here, has quite regular payouts. Toloka is more about microtasks (sorting images, answering questions), but it works well if you like that kind of thing.

The real deal is that none of these apps that earn money through Pix will replace a salary, but as extra income, you can make a little on the side. People usually earn anywhere from a few reais up to about half a dozen dollars a day, depending on how much time you dedicate. Some have a low minimum value to withdraw, others require more.

The thing is to have patience and realistic expectations. If you’re expecting to get rich, forget it. But if you want to top up your income by doing simple tasks on your phone, then yes, it’s worth testing. I recommend starting with 2 or 3 different apps to see which one fits your pace best.

BTC is at $76.05K (-0.92%), ETH at $2.08K (-0.72%), DOGE at $0,10 (+0.58%)—and meanwhile, these apps are generating your little bits of money little by little. It’s not glamorous, but it’s real.
