I tested Earnably myself and have been paid by it many times. Below is my payment proof, how you earn, how the payouts work, and what readers report before you join.
Legit, with a very low $1 cashout, but not the best options
Easy to use and pays through PayPal from $1. Other GPT sites give you more for the same time.

The short answer
Earnably is legit. It pays, and I have been paid by it many times myself. It is a free Get-Paid-To (GPT) site with surveys, offerwalls and videos, and you can cash out to PayPal from just $1.
But it does not give the best overall options. Other GPT sites offer many of the same opportunities with better overall options. Readers also report that Earnably asks for a photo or ID scan before a PayPal payout.
- Completely free and easy to use
- Offers and rewards are sponsored by reputable brands
- Very low payout threshold: PayPal from 10,000 points ($1)
- Good support: quick replies to my emails
- Works in a mobile browser on Android and iOS
- Not as good options as some other similar sites
- No mobile app
- Most offers are for the US, UK, Canada, Australia and Europe
- Readers report an ID check before a PayPal payout
- Watching videos is rarely worth your time

Is Earnably legit and safe?
Yes, Earnably is legit. I have been paid by it many times, so you do not have to worry about getting scammed. But that does not automatically make it worth your time. Here is what you should know.
- You may have to verify your ID
Readers report that Earnably asks for a photo verification or a scan of a government document before it pays to PayPal. More and more sites ask for this to avoid fraud, because scammers are attacking them.
- Offers do not always track
I have seen it reported that offers were not tracked properly. Use the checklist below before you start an offer, and take screenshots of any error messages.
- No VPN and no extra accounts
Earnably allows up to 3 accounts in one household on 3 different devices, but having multiple accounts yourself is a no-no. If you use a VPN, Earnably automatically locks your account.
- Fewer offers outside a few regions
You can join from basically any country, but most offers are for the US, UK, Canada, Australia and Europe. The surveys and offerwalls you see vary from country to country.
- Videos rarely pay
Videos only pay when ads are shown. It usually takes hours of watching videos just to earn $1.
My takeOverall, I like that Earnably is so easy to use, and it has a good amount of opportunities. So it is a real way to earn a bit extra, and it is fast to get started. However, there are, in my opinion, sites that offer many of the exact same opportunities but with better overall options.
How you earn on Earnably
There are 4 ways to earn. Surveys and offers make up most of the money. Tap one to read more.
Paid surveysOne of the best ways
When you first join, you take a short profile survey of around 5 minutes. Then you get access to the paid surveys in the Surveys section.
All surveys come from survey routers: you take them at partners of Earnably, and the rewards go to your Earnably account. For many partners, you fill in some basic information again the first time you use them.
You can now see what you get for a survey before you start it, which is a great improvement. Overall, you can earn from surveys, but compared to other survey sites I have tested, Earnably does not give the best overall options. The routers and the number of surveys vary from country to country and from time to time.
OfferwallsBest boost
You find paid offers in the “Explore” and “offers” sections. You get paid to, for example, download apps, play games, click ads and sign up for trials. Read the conditions of each offer, and you can find some great ways to boost your earnings.
App downloads used to have their own section. Now you find them on the offerwalls and in the “offers” section. You see the reward and the conditions right away, such as reaching a certain level in a game. Some offers are only available on mobile.
Many other GPT sites give access to the exact same walls. So if you are already a member of other sites, there is no need to join Earnably just for the offerwalls.
Watching videosVery low
You watch videos, including ads, to earn points on a video platform, which you then transfer to your Earnably account. You need to sign up for those video platforms too.
If no ads are shown, you do not earn for the videos you watch. It usually takes hours just to earn $1, so use the videos as entertainment, not to earn.
Invite friends10% + 30,000 points
You earn a 10% commission of everything your friends earn. Earnably pays it, so your friends’ earnings are not affected.
You also get a bonus of 30,000 points ($3) once the person you invited has earned his or her first 30,000 points.

Before you start an offer: the tracking checklist
Offers that are not tracked are the most frustrating problem on GPT sites. Tick these off before you start an offer.

How much can you make?
Earnably has quite a lot of ways to earn, but go into it with the right expectations. It is not a way to become rich or make a full-time income. It can be a decent option for some extra cash on the side.
10,000 points are worth $1, so you need 100,000 points to earn $10. That does not take too long to reach. But compared to many other GPT sites I have tested, Earnably does not offer quite as good opportunities, and it can take some patience.
Payout methods and minimums
| Method | Minimum | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| PayPal | 10,000 points ($1) | Readers report a photo or ID check before the payout |
| Gift cards | Depends on the gift card | The cards you can choose depend on your country |
The ways you can get your earnings out depend on the country you live in. Earnably used to have a more complicated point system. Now 10,000 points are $1, which makes it one of the fastest paying survey and GPT sites. See more sites with a low minimum payout.
Earnably says it takes up to three days to process your rewards. In my experience, you often get the money a lot faster.
Is Earnably worth it in your country?
You can join Earnably from most countries, but the number of offers and surveys depends on where you live. Pick your country to see where Earnably stands on my list of the best sites there.
What 59 readers told me
This review has 59 comments since 2019: 30 from readers and 29 replies from me. These are the three things readers ask about most.
Readers from India, Malaysia, Nigeria, South Africa, Indonesia, the Netherlands, South Korea and more asked for better sites. I link to the best sites per country in my replies.
Readers were surprised that Earnably asks for a photo or a government ID scan before it pays. Earnably asks for it to avoid fraud.
A reader was screened out of every survey she tried. If that happens to you, use other sites instead.
“Why does earnably need scan of your government ID is this safe.”
Mikael: They ask for verification to avoid fraud. More and more sites have started to do this as scammers are attacking these sites, so they need to protect themselves before paying people.

Mikael: If you have big problems with it, just use other sites instead. There are many other sites that are just as good or even better.
“can i know it is secure or not ?”
Mikael: Yes, Earnably is legit and secure

If you have any technical problems, you need to contact their support.
I should’ve checked the comments first.
Thanks for commenting anyway.
I was very surprised that they require a photo verification or a scan of your gov’t document in order to receive payment to Paypal. I decided to delete my account since it was only a dollar but my time wasted.
More and more platforms ask for verification like this to avoid fraud.

Thanks for the link – I have successfully used numerous other survey sites, so I know the drill, but when I say I’m screened out of “every single survey I try” on Earnably, I mean every single survey! I was never able to earn anything. As far as I can tell I haven’t done any of the things you’re not supposed to do. The site just doesn’t like me.
If you have big problems with it, just use other sites instead. There are many other sites that are just as good or even better.
I do use other sites. That’s what I meant when I said “I have successfully used numerous other survey sites.” 🙂

I just wanted to sasy, yiou might want to review Earably again, well update them i mean, because alot of the survey and offerd walls are not there anymore like in your review page showing them. Once again, thank you for all that You do , I would not be doimg surveys since 2018 if I had not come across Paid from Surveys. com
Great to hear from you again Darlene.
And you are right – the Earnably review needs an update. I will make sure to get that done asap. Thanks for reminding me.
your welcome, anytime
As you can see, it has now been updated:-)
Sir can you Please review websites, which we can earn 500$ per month from INDIA
If you are talking about making that on just one single website with free methods then it is not really possible in India. You can make that kind of money online, but then you need to start an online business and that will take a while before you will start earning and take some investment. Or you need to join freelance platforms and create a career out of that if you have skills you can outsource. But it will also take a lot of time to build that up.
You can check out the best survey and Get-Paid-To sites in India here. If you join several of them you can earn some nice cash on the side. And these are your best options if you are looking for free methods where you can start earning right away. You just need to do it with the right expectations.
Which option is best for you depends on your goals and the time you are willing to put in.
Hope this helps.
Thank you sir
you are welcome
Okay, another informative article. I just want to know about the Earnably reviews from some YouTubers and I thought your video (also your articles) really explains the good and bad side of it.
thank you for your articles.
Thanks for the feedback. Unfortunately, many YouTubers “forget” to tell the true earning potential and just focus on making catchy titles to get a lot of views.
Very glad to hear you find my review useful and balanced.
can i know it is secure or not ?
Yes, Earnably is legit and secure
Okey thank you so much
you are welcome
I appreciate you talking the time to figure all that out for us. I’m gonna definitely check back with you for more articles! Have you ever tried”Knife Bounty” or “Lucky Money”I really enjoyed playing them but as far as I could tell both were complete SCAMS!I was just wondering if you had an opinion on them?
Glad you like my articles Angela.
Do not know the two games you mention so I cannot say anything about them. Why do you think they are scams?
