Frequently asked questions

Which reward app has the lowest cashout minimum?

JustPlay ($1) and Cash'em All ($2) have the lowest cash minimums, both Android-only. For gift cards, Fetch lets you redeem from just a few dollars. Lower minimums often come with smaller per-task pay, so weigh both.

Is a low minimum always better?

Not necessarily. A low minimum is great for cashing out fast, but some low-minimum apps pay very little per task. A slightly higher minimum with reliable, reviewed payouts — like Playpot's $20 — can be worth more overall.
