Surveytime Review:1$ per survey or gimmick? (Live Test)

”Get Instantly Rewarded with $1 for every survey you complete” that’s the tagline they are using on their website. Can you really earn that much ? or they are just big claims?

In this comprehensive Surveytime review, I’ll walk you through each step, give you some amazing tips, and show you a live demo of me using the application.

What is Surveytime?

Surveytime AKA (Also known as) surveytime.io is a website that pays you for completing surveys based on the information that you provide during the signup process.

They have an algorithm that gives new surveys with easy to navigate dashboard.

How does Surveytime works?

Here is how the business model of Surveytime works. They don’t have a direct tie-up with organizations that are looking to take surveys.

They are a GPT (get-paid-to) site that redirects users to offerwalls where surveys are matched with your profile depending on the availability.

A user like me and you have to try multiple surveys before we actually get a chance to complete them and get paid. (Most of the time we will get disqualified)

Surveytime gets commission from offerwalls for providing advertisement on their platform. (Here the advertisement is of surveys)

You can read more about how the whole system of GPT sites works in my panel station article.

That’s what Sureytime’s backend business model looks like. What’s on the front side?

Let’s start with the Signup process.

They previously ran a similar survey website called Gifthulk but they closed that website in August 2019 and created Surveytime.io.

Surveytime Ambassador Program

Apart from taking surveys, there is one more way to increase your earnings.

Surveytime as their own referral program which they call the ”Ambassador Program”. The process to apply is simple.

• Visit Surveytime Ambassador Program link

• Provide your full name & email address

Tip: Although they claim to be looking for Influencers or bloggers, you don’t have to be one. Even if you have a facebook or Instagram account with decent friends & followers. You are good to go.

• Select your traffic sources (Facebook, Instagram etc)

• Write few sentences on how you are going to promote surveytime.

For example you can write: 

Hello, I want to be a part of the ambassador program and I am willing to promote surveytime on facebook & Instagram account. My friends & followers are always looking to find ways to earn more money and I think this will be a good platform for them. I have over 1000 friends on facebook and 500+ followers on Instagram.

Thank you

After you submit your application, they will review it and email you for taking part in their ambassador program.

The email will consist of a referral link. You can also log in to your ambassador dashboard and track all your referral earnings, the numbers of people who clicked on your link, and overall performance.

How much you can make on Surveytime?

You can make anywhere between 10$ to 100$ depending on your country. People from the United States and Europe earned relatively more.

I took some data from Reddit users and found that their earnings have decreased from the past year and they are experiencing higher disqualification rates.

Is Surveytime Legit?

Yes, Surveytime.io is a legit website. I am attaching a screenshot from Reddit users who have claimed to get paid from Surveytime.

The Awesome things about Surveytime

• No Redemption time: As soon as you earn your first dollar you can redeem that for Paypal cash or other gift cards.

• Clean User Interface: The survey website is not spammy with awful links. Of course, the website redirects you to different offerwalls, but the main website is clean.

• No Point Earning system: Unlike other survey websites where you must earn certain points and then redeem, there is no such thing on Surveytime.io.

The Not so Awesome things about Surveytime

• High Disqualification rate: You have to participate in multiple surveys before you qualify and get paid. It can be very frustrating and people may end up thinking Surveytime is a scam.

• Not a real survey website: Surveytime.io is not the real survey website with a direct partnership with market research companies that are looking for survey participants.

They have a partnership with offerwalls who give them some commission for sending traffic (you are the traffic here) to their website.

An example of a real survey website is YouGov, They themselves are a market research company and also have a direct partnership with organizations that pay them for providing their user data and opinions.

• No dedicated profile section (For Desktop users): Unlike other websites where you can go to your profile section, change your display picture and check your earning history, Surveytime.io does not have anything like that.
