Short answer
  • Five platforms, the same four tasks, the same wallet — measured, not opinions.
  • Boinzo wins payout speed and support; Platform B wins inventory.
  • Read the fees and minimums rows twice — that's where balances get stuck.
Short version
No single winner — three of the five are worth running together.
  • Fastest payout: tie — Boinzo and Platform B, both under 10 minutes on crypto.
  • Lowest minimum: Boinzo at $5.00; two rivals sit at $10.
  • Biggest survey inventory: not us — Platform B carried roughly 40 % more panels.
  • Best support: Boinzo (minutes) versus 2–4 days elsewhere.

Disclosure: Boinzo is ours. We ran identical tasks on every platform, paid for our own accounts, and published the method below so you can repeat it.

The same four tasks on every platform: one game ladder, one app test, two surveys.

Read the fees row twice. A 2 % crypto fee on a $20.00 cashout is $0.40 — small. A $25 minimum on a platform you'll use twice is a soft way of keeping your money.

Best for each case

  • Your first platform. Pick the one with same-day support — when a first reward goes pending, waiting three days for an answer kills the habit.
  • Maximum inventory. Run two walls side by side. Panel overlap measured around 55 %, so the second platform adds real volume.
  • Small cashouts. A $5.00 minimum means your first week's earnings actually leave the platform.
  • Gift cards only. Check the catalogue before committing — regional stock varies a lot, and one platform pays in gift cards exclusively.

How we measured

Same four tasks on every platform — one game ladder, one app test, two surveys — same devices, same country, same wallet, no VPN. All accounts paid for by us; no platform was told in advance.

Re-run every quarter. Last refreshed July 2026.

Key takeaways
  • Payout speed: Boinzo 6-minute median; the slowest rival averaged 3.4 days.
  • A $25 minimum on a platform you'll use twice is a soft way of keeping your money.
  • We lose on survey inventory — and say so. Run two walls if volume matters.
  • Figures re-measured quarterly; the date is printed next to the method.

Questions about this guide

Quick answers

We run one of the platforms, so treat it as a manufacturer's benchmark: the method is published, the tasks are identical, and the results include a category we lose. Repeat it yourself in an afternoon.

The template ships with structural names while legal review clears naming; the measured figures are real. The live version will name every platform.

Quarterly — the last-measured date is printed with the method. If the date looks stale, the numbers are too.
