Hey everyone, Dev here from Cryonbee.com!
I hope you’re all having a fantastic day. Did you know that you can earn a steady stream of free PayPal cash and gift cards completely on autopilot? That’s right—by using the right passive income apps, you can turn any smartphone into a reliable income source.
I’ve been testing passive income apps since my phone farming days back in college. Today, I’m sharing five of my favorite apps, plus a bonus idea to help you make and save money effortlessly. Some of these apps are brand new to the channel, and one even lets you get paid while watching Netflix! Let’s dive into the details.
1. Pawns.app
Pawns is a well-known app that I’ve previously reviewed, but it has made some exciting updates that have increased its earning potential. The main way to earn with Pawns is by sharing your unused internet bandwidth. Your device becomes part of a network, and the more bandwidth you share, the more money you can make.
People use different IP addresses worldwide for activities like watching gated content or conducting market research, and Pawns allows you to monetize your IP address. This method is fully passive—you can set it up on your smartphone or laptop, let it run in the background, and earn income without lifting a finger.
Additional Earning Methods:
- Surveys: Earn extra by answering surveys in your spare time.
- Gaming: Pawns now pays you to play mobile games. Some offers pay between $5 and $50, making it a lucrative option.
The app also features a leaderboard system that rewards top earners with bonus cash, and you only need $5 to cash out. You can redeem your earnings via PayPal, Amazon gift cards, or even cryptocurrency in some countries.
2. Caden
Caden is an iOS app that allows you to get paid for sharing your data. Unlike big tech companies that mine your data without compensation, Kaden pays you for connecting various services, like Netflix, Amazon, Uber, Spotify, and more. The more connections you make, the more you earn.
This process is entirely passive—Kaden works in the background, and you don’t have to answer surveys or manually enter any information. While the cash-out minimum is $40, you can realistically earn between $50 and $100 per year just by connecting your apps and services.
Availability:
Currently, Kaden is only available on iOS and in the United States. If you’re outside the US or using Android, consider alternatives like MobileXpression or Pawns.
3. WinWalk
WinWalk is a fun way to earn passive income while staying active. This free pedometer app tracks your steps and rewards you with coins that can be redeemed for gift cards. You earn one coin for every 100 steps, up to 10,000 steps per day.
Earning Potential:
- Daily Steps: Maximize your coins by hitting 10,000 steps daily.
- Missions: Earn more by playing games, completing surveys, or watching videos.
Although the rewards aren’t huge—about $10 worth of coins is required to cash out—WinWalk offers gift cards to popular retailers like Amazon, H&M, Uber Eats, and Walmart. It’s a great option for those who want to make a little extra while keeping fit.
4. Tapestri App
Tapestri is a newer app that pays you for your location data. Similar to Kaden, Tapestri compensates users for data they’re already sharing. You can earn up to $25 per month by enabling location rewards and participating in occasional surveys based on the stores you visit.
Global Availability:
Tapestri is available in numerous countries, including the US, UK, Australia, and several European countries. Even if you don’t earn the full $25, earning a passive $5 to $10 per month is a nice bonus for doing virtually nothing.
5. Media Rewards
If you love watching TV or listening to the radio, Media Rewards might be your new favorite app. It runs in the background of your smartphone, tracking your exposure to media and advertisements. The app occasionally sends you surveys based on the data collected, which you can complete for rewards.
Bonus Opportunity:
Media Rewards also enters you into monthly cash sweepstakes, with prizes ranging from $50 to $1,000. While it’s not guaranteed income, it’s a nice perk for simply sharing your data.
Bonus: Capital One Shopping
While not a passive income app, Capital One Shopping is a browser extension that helps you save money automatically. It applies available coupon codes when you check out at over 30,000 stores, saving you time and effort. You can also earn rewards by shopping with certain partners, which can be redeemed for gift cards.
If you’re already familiar with extensions like Honey, Capital One Shopping is worth checking out. It’s like having a money-saving assistant working on autopilot.
Conclusion:
These passive income apps won’t make you rich, but they offer easy ways to earn $100 to $200 per year with minimal effort. Whether you’re interested in sharing your data, getting paid to walk, or earning cash by playing games, there’s something for everyone.
