Overview
The speaker reviews six free apps that claim to pay users for listening to music, sharing personal test results and evaluating their actual earning potential. The overall conclusion is that most apps offer minimal or frustrating earnings, and are not worthwhile compared to building a genuine online business.
Razune App Experience
- Signup instantly credits $5 to your account.
- Each song pays around 66 cents, with the first two earning slightly more.
- Minimum withdrawal is $90, making cashing out difficult.
- Limited daily song availability restricts earning speed.
- Site functionality issues and frequent popups cause user frustration.
Slice the Pie Review
- App pays users to write music reviews after listening for 70 seconds.
- Reviews must be thorough and honest for future opportunities.
- Speaker's first review was rejected for being completed "too quickly," resulting in no payment or further access.
- Overall, the app failed to deliver on its payment promise.
PrizeRebel Survey Platform
- Users complete surveys, some related to music, for points redeemable as PayPal cash.
- $10 payout requires 1,000 points (~200-300 minutes of work due to disqualification issues).
- Surveys often disqualify users after partial completion, leading to wasted time.
- Average earnings estimated at about $2 per hour.
Cash for Minutes Feedback
- App pays for time spent listening to music via phone calls.
- Requires phone number registration and calling specific access numbers.
- Pay rate is extremely low (less than $0.05 per hour).
- Not considered worthwhile, especially if users pay for phone minutes.
Radio Earn Evaluation
- Browser-based platform plays radio music and pays users for listening.
- Heavy on popups and ads, making navigation challenging and sketchy.
- Earnings are extremely low, and the speaker was unable to earn enough for withdrawal after several days.
Givy App Insights
- Android app allows listening to music stations for points convertible to cash.
- 1,000 points equal 1 cent; withdrawal thresholds are low (e.g., $0.35 for Binance).
- Cannot run in the background; app must remain open to earn.
- Considered the most functional and accessible out of all tested apps, despite low earnings.
Recommendations / Advice
- These "get paid to listen to music" apps generally yield very low or unreliable income.
