I’ve noticed a number of apps that will pay you to take steps or let you bet on weekly goals. My aim here is to analyze how much you can really make on a weekly basis from these apps.
Here is the list of apps I’m using
- StepBet
- WeWard
- CashWalk
- Achievement
- Sweatcoin
- Million Steps
StepBet is a great app. StepBet lets you wager a bet that you will complete weekly goals over a set period of time usually 6 weeks. If you purchase a membership you can play 3 games at once. I typically average just over $8.00 a StepBet and can earn that on average every two weeks. Subtracting $1.90 for the membership fees I get $6.10 every two weeks or about $3.05 a week. Pretty good, but this does require the upfront money for membership and bets.
WeWard is another good app. Here you earn wards for walking and can redeem them for gift cards. There are also fun leagues to compete in and a card collecting game. The earning can very quite a bit but I’ve earned an average of 59 cents a week. You can earn consideribly more if you walk or run a lot.
CashWalk is another great app that pays for your steps. This one lets you exchange up to 10,000 steps a day for up to 10 cents a day. Not bad for something you should be doing anyway.
Achievement will pay you for all sorts of healthy activities. I really like this app and its pretty passive, but it only pays about $0.12 a week for steps if you take just over 6000 steps a day.
Sweatcoin is a fun app that converts steps taken outdoors into Sweatcoins. This app pays pretty well, but the rewards are very high. To get cash you need $1000 worth. For about 5250 outdoor steps a day you will get about $0.25 week, but to be practical you will need to do much more than that.
Finally, Million Steps gives you about $0.35 a week for taking 5000 steps a day. Pretty straightforward, but it does requires daily check in.
In total, you can earn about $4.57 a week using these paid step apps all with moderate goals. You may want to leave out Sweatcoin unless you take lots of outdoor steps. Overall, $4.57 is not bad and these goals can help improve your health.
FitPotato has shutdown while I will miss it I’ve added WeWard and CashWalk as alternatives.
