PayPal is by far the most popular method and is what most survey groups offer, but there are groups that don’t offer this or offer other methods.
Below you can see a list of the best survey sites that pay via PayPal. They are all legit and I’ve been paid by them myself.
1 – Freecash
Available in: More or less all countries

The site is easy to use, and it has great payout methods. You can get paid via PayPal already when you have earned $5, and you will usually get your money out within a few hours after requesting payment, which makes it one of the faster PayPal survey sites. And when you have proven you do everything legit, you will often get paid faster – I usually get paid more or less instantly (within a few minutes).
Freecash also offers other great payout methods like, for example, Bitcoin, gift cards, or skins for games if you are into this. And if you join through the invitation link below, you will get a free case you can use to claim a great joining bonus right away.

You can do small online paid tasks, take a number of different offers like, for example, signing up for websites, playing online games, downloading apps, etc., that can give pretty good rewards.

In general, PrizeRebel is a great platform for earning some extra money and one of the top sites for this. You can sign up from most parts of the world, but the number of possibilities varies depending on where you live.
There are by far the most opportunities available in the US, the UK, Canada, and Australia. But there are also very good opportunities in many other countries, so it can still be worth signing up if you live in other countries.
In addition to paying out through PayPal, PrizeRebel also has a large number of gift cards and crypto to choose from. You can get paid through PayPal already when you have earned $5 and you will usually have the money in your PayPal account in less than 24 hours after requesting the payout.

8 – YouGov
Available in: 30+ countries
PayPal payout threshold: Depends on country
Other payment methods: Gift cards, cash, products
Short summary:
YouGov has survey panels in many different countries and in the local language. The surveys are mostly about current and important topics in your specific countries, so they are interesting to participate in. A great thing about YouGov is that they regularly post the results of the surveys and research the conduct on the website, so you can see the overall results, and also see how this has been used by the media.
It pays pretty well in relation to the time spent on each survey. As the only way to earn is surveys, it does not have has many daily opportunities as the sites that offer other ways to earn as well, but for a pure survey site, it has a really good amount.
Beware that it is not in all countries YouGov pays through PayPal. You have to check for your specific country, as each country has different payout methods and payout thresholds, but the ones that do not offer PayPal have other great rewards.

Short summary:
Survey Junkie is almost what you can call a pure PayPal survey site as the main way to earn is by taking surveys, and in some countries, the only way you can get paid is through PayPal.
Sometimes you can also find other ways to earn on Survey Junkie. In the sign-up process, you can say if you are interested in participating in focus group interviews, product testing, or phone interviews.
When they have these opportunities available, you will then be told. It can be a good way to really boost your earnings. But day-to-day, the main way of earning on Survey Junkie is by taking online surveys.
13 – Surveoo
Available in: More or less worldwide
PayPal payout threshold: $20 (can vary from country to country)
Other payment methods: Bank transfer, gift cards
Short summary:
Surveoo is a newer PayPal survey site that is very easy to use, and it has panels in most countries.

14 – PaidViewpoint
Available in: Mostly US, UK, Canada and to some extent Australia.
PayPal payout threshold: $15
Other payment methods: N/A
Short summary:
PaidViewpoint is a very easy to use survey panel. The only thing you can do on the site is surveys, and compared to other survey panels, PaidViewpoint is a bit different in the way that all surveys are very short and with easy to answer multiple choice questions. The only payment method offered is PayPal, and once you have requested a payout, the processing time is around 3 days.
PaidViewpoint is the only survey panel that I am aware of that guarantees that if you are offered a survey, you will always be able to finish it and get paid. So it is not like some other panels where you often have to answer a few questions before you find out if you actually qualify.
Even though PaidViewpoint is available worldwide, there are very limited surveys in some countries. Everyone is able to take a short profile survey every day that also pays a little, but real surveys that pay better are not available in all countries. Most surveys are for English speaking countries and especially the US. So if you live in a non-speaking English-country, it is not a site worth joining.
15 – Triaba
Available in: 47 countries
PayPal payout threshold: $7
Other payment methods: Gift cards
Short summary:
Triaba is purely a survey site, and taking online surveys is the only way you can earn here. It is very easy to use. It does however not have as many available surveys, as some of the other sites on this list, but as an extra site, it can still be worth considering.
Triaba is available in around 47 countries, and in all countries, it offers PayPal as a payout option. In some countries, it also offers other options like gift cards and charity donations. You can get paid through PayPal, once you have earned around $7 (the exact amount depends on your country).
16 – Surveyeah
Available in: 60 countries
PayPal payout threshold: $10
Other payment methods: Amazon gift cards
Short summary:
Surveyeah is a great extra survey site to join, as it is very easy to use. A great thing about it is that it is available in around 60 countries in the local language and with surveys in the local language as well.
It is, however, not the survey site with the most surveys and often you might only get a few per month. But because it is so easy, it can be a great extra site to check out.
Surveyeah offers to pay you for the surveys you take through PayPal or Amazon gift cards.
17 – Superpay.me
Available in: More or less worldwide
PayPal payout threshold: $1
Other payment methods: Skrill, Bitcoin, Amazon gift cards
Short summary:
Superpay.me offers many daily opportunities to earn. Exactly how many depends on your location.
Superpay.me has one of the lowest payment thresholds, and you can request a payout through PayPal as soon as you have made $1, and you will have the money in your account within 24 hours (usually faster, in my experience). Once you are a verified member, you can also request to be paid through instant PayPal, which means you will get the money you earn instantly.
It also has a quarterly $1000 cash contest, fast and responsive support, and you will also get a $0.20 joining bonus just for signing up which will take you very close to the payout threshold immeditaely.
I’m always testing new sites and test hundreds of them every year. So remember to bookmark this page and check back occasionally for new opportunities as the list is updated regularly.
