Get the app, $5 bonus Browse offers

Swagbucks has been around since 2008 and has a wider surface — shopping cash-back, browser extensions, coupons, and receipt-scanning on top of the offerwall. Playpot is narrower but mobile-only, with a faster PayPal turnaround (24-48 hours vs Swagbucks' typical 10-14 days for PayPal), a $5 welcome bonus, and a simpler cashout flow.
