I tested HeedYou to see if clicking its ads and doing its offers is worth your time. It shows $0.05 per ad, but the ads I tested paid much less, and there are few of them. Below is what I found, and which sites I recommend instead.
Not worth your time: tiny, unclear rewards and few ads
Paid ads, offers and videos, open worldwide. PayPal or Skrill from $5, with fees. Ads pay far less than shown.

The short answer
HeedYou is a legit Paid-To-Click (PTC) site, but it is not worth your time. You click ads, complete offers and watch videos, and you can withdraw from $5 to PayPal or Skrill. It is available globally.
But the ads show $0.05 each, and the ads I tested paid much less than that. There are also few ads, and the offers and videos pay more on other sites. The site is not transparent about what you can earn, so I do not recommend it.
- Low payout threshold: $5
- Offers payment via PayPal, Skrill and crypto
- Available globally
- Low rewards
- The pay shown per ad is misleading
- Few earning opportunities: a limited number of ads
- Slightly complicated payment process, with fees
- No FAQ page
My experience with HeedYou
I signed up for HeedYou, clicked its paid ads and looked at the bonus ads, the offers, the videos and the payout options. This is what I did myself, and what I did not test.

Is HeedYou legit and safe?
HeedYou is a legit PTC site: it does pay you for clicking ads and completing offers. But that does not make it worth your time. Here is what you should know.
- The pay shown per ad is misleading
The ads look like they pay $0.05 each, which would be high for a PTC site. But what was added to my account for the ads I tested was much less. HeedYou is not transparent about what you can earn.
- Low rewards and few ads
To earn a significant amount, you would have to click hundreds of ads, and you cannot find that many inside HeedYou. Even if you click every ad, it takes a long time to reach $5.
- A complicated payment system with fees
Offer earnings go to a separate offer balance, which you can only move to your account balance from $5. PayPal withdrawals cost 2%, and Skrill withdrawals cost $0.60.
- Little information for members
There is no FAQ page, and the website is mostly aimed at advertisers. HeedYou offers a premium membership, but does not explain what you get for it.
My takeThe work is tedious, and when they are also not transparent about what you can earn by doing it, it is a deal-breaker, in my opinion.
HeedYou pays far less per ad than it shows. These sites pay better and are open about what you earn.
See the best alternativesHow you earn on HeedYou
There are 4 ways to earn. Paid ads are the main one, but none of them pays well. Tap one to read more.
Paid adsMuch less than shown
Click a paid ad, and a new window shows the advertiser’s website for 5 seconds. When the timer finishes, click the upside-down picture. You have only 3 tries; after that, you are locked out of the ad and get no reward. Keep the window in front, or the timer stops.
The ads show $0.05 each, but what was added to my account for the ads I tested was much less. There are also not many ads, so you cannot click hundreds of them.
Bonus adsContest entries
Viewing a bonus ad enters you into a weekly contest. It works like a paid ad, but you click Next to go to the next ad. The prizes are mostly geared towards putting up your own ad on the site, and there is no page that shows the winners.
Paid offers (tasks)10 coins = 1 cent
In the member dashboard, you find several offerwalls. Most offers ask you to play a game, answer a quiz, register for a site, watch videos, download apps or answer surveys. Follow the instructions to the letter to get the reward.
Many of the same offerwalls are on other sites as well, with better rewards, in my experience. So HeedYou is not the best place to do them.
Watching videosLow
HeedYou added videos after I first tested it. You watch them through HideoutTV, and many other sites pay more for the exact same videos. I do not recommend it.
How much can you make?
Not much. To earn a significant amount, you have to click a lot of ads and complete a lot of offers, and the number of ads is quite limited. So the low threshold does not help much: it still takes a long time to reach it.
In terms of earning efficiency, HeedYou is not great compared to survey sites and even GPT sites. See the difference between a GPT, PTC and survey site.
Payout methods, minimum and fees
| Method | Minimum | Fee |
|---|---|---|
| PayPal | $5 | 2% |
| Skrill | $5 | $0.60 fixed |
Ads pay into your account balance. Offers pay coins into a separate offer balance, and you can move it to your account balance once it reaches $5 (5,000 points). Your account balance is what you can withdraw. You can also move money to a purchase balance to buy ads or a premium membership. You can also convert your earnings to various cryptocurrencies.
