Paidera has closed
Paidera has shut down and is no longer a way to earn some extra money on the side. You cannot join or earn on it now. As you can see in my review below, it was not really worth it anyway. I keep my review as a record. The sites I would pick instead are further down.
Paidera paid you for surveys, tasks and promoting the site itself. It has now shut down. I tested it myself before that. Below is what I found, and which sites I would pick instead.
Paidera has closed
Paidera has shut down, so you can no longer earn on it. When it was running, it was not a scam, but the rewards were extremely low, the threshold was high, and it closed accounts without warning.

The short answer
Paidera has shut down. It is no longer a way to earn extra money, and you cannot join it now.
When it was running, it was not a scam, but a big waste of time. Paidera claimed to be the best survey and GPT site, with unlimited daily earnings. In my test, the rewards were extremely low, the surveys were covered in ads, the payout threshold was $20 or more, and it closed my account without warning.
- Was free to join
- You qualified for more or less all Paidera surveys
- Was open in every country
- Paidera has shut down
- Very low rewards
- The surveys took a long time and were covered in ads
- A very high payout threshold
- It closed accounts without warning
- No FAQ section
My experience with Paidera
Someone asked me about Paidera on my YouTube channel, so I joined to see if it could live up to its claims. I tried the surveys and looked at every other way to earn. This is what I did myself, and what I did not test.

Was Paidera legit and safe?
Paidera has shut down, so you can no longer join or earn on it. When it was running, it was not a scam, but you could waste a lot of time on it. These were the catches.
- It has shut down
Paidera is no longer a way to earn some extra money on the side.
- Accounts closed without warning
Paidera closed my account without any warning. You then could not create a new account, and you did not get your earnings. Several readers report that their account was suspended, some of them close to the payout.
- Extremely low rewards and a high threshold
The surveys and offers paid very little for the time, and you had to reach $20 or $30 before you could cash out. It took a looong time.
- Surveys covered in ads
After every question, you had to scroll through an article full of ads to find the continue button. If you clicked an ad by accident, you usually had to start the survey over and did not get paid for it.
- Unclear terms and pressure to promote
Paidera pushed you to promote it with referrals, videos and reviews, and its terms were unclear. You could not even find out what the quota points for an article were worth.
My takePaidera has shut down, and it is not a big loss, in my opinion. It was one of the worst sites I have tested: the value for your time was extremely low, and it could close your account at any time. See the alternatives below.
How you earned on Paidera
There were five ways to earn. All of them are gone now. Tap one to read how it worked.
Paidera surveysVery low
Paidera had its own surveys, also called Paid Quizzes, and external surveys from known survey providers. You seemed to qualify for more or less all of its own surveys, but you could not see a time estimate before you started.
After every question, you were taken to a full article covered in ads and had to find the continue button. It was extremely tedious, and it looked like the real goal was to get you to click ads. The money reached your account right after a survey, but the rewards were very low for the time.
The Paid Quizzes were only open as long as you had quota points, which you earned with other tasks and by inviting people. The external surveys paid a lot less than the same surveys on many other platforms.
TasksLower than on other sites
Paidera had micro tasks, usually small social media tasks, but very few of them. The section called Tasks was really paid offers.
You could find the same offers on many other GPT sites, and the rewards on Paidera were a lot lower.
Creating videos$0.20-$0.45 per video
You could earn by creating promotional videos about Paidera and uploading them to YouTube. It paid between $0.20-$0.45 per video, with a lot of requirements for how the video had to be.
People stole my own video review of Paidera several times and uploaded it to their own channel. I am not saying this was Paidera’s fault, but the way it pushed you to promote it encouraged this.
Writing articles and reviews10 quota points
You could write an article or review about Paidera and post it on well-known blogs, forums or review sites. If Paidera approved it, you got 10 quota points.
Paidera did not say anywhere what quota points were worth. And you risked getting banned from forums for posting promotions.
Referring people$0.10 per referral, up to $2.50
Paidera used to give you access to most surveys only after you had invited a certain number of people. It later removed that requirement.
From its unclear terms, you only earned for your first 25 valid referrals, at $0.10 each. That is a maximum of $2.50.
See the Best Paying GPT Sites Instead
How much could you make?
Not much. Paidera claimed unlimited daily earnings, and in theory you would not run out of tasks. You could maybe find tasks for 8-10 hours a day, but you would only earn a few dollars from it.
With the high payout threshold, you had to work hard and long to ever get a payout. And Paidera could close your account at any time without warning, so investing a lot of time in it was risky.
How Paidera paid
Paidera paid through PayPal only. You needed a verified PayPal account to get paid.
| Method | Minimum | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| PayPal | $20 or $30 | You chose the threshold yourself. It used to be $50, and the $20 threshold used to require 150 invited people. |
Many PayPal reward sites have better conditions, and some let you cash out from $1. See the top sites that pay via PayPal.
Who could join, and on which devices?
You could join Paidera no matter the country you lived in, and you could qualify for more or less all of its own surveys anywhere. That gave some options in countries with few paid surveys.
There was no Paidera app, but the website was optimized for mobile, so you could use it on a phone. For help, there was a section to submit a support ticket, but no FAQ.
What 41 readers told me
This review has 81 comments since April 2019: 41 from readers and 40 replies from me. These are the things readers bring up most.
Most readers asked which sites I would recommend instead in their country, from India and Nigeria to Kenya and the Philippines.
Readers asked whether Paidera really paid, or called it a scam after it kept adding demands before a payout.
A few readers report that Paidera suspended or blocked their account, one of them when they reached the payout threshold.
“I completed all surveys, after that they forced me to referel 10 to 50 to get the more surveys.”
Mikael: It seems like it is VERY difficult to ever get paid from Paidera as they keep coming up with new demands. In general, I think it is a site that is a complete waste of time.
“So i believe you reviews but what would you say about the trust pilot reviews regarding paidera?”
Mikael: The thing about Trustpilot reviews is that they are easy to manipulate. … Paidera is known for getting people to spam positive reviews all over the place as they have that as a demand for you to ever get your earnings.
“If i get 50$ through surveys … Can i cash out or it is a scam site?”
Mikael: I believe you would get your money BUT it would take you a VERY long time to reach $50 by taking surveys on Paidera compared to many other sites. I have not received any payments from it myself as I simply do not want to spend my time on it as there are many better options, in my opinion.
Paidera alternatives I have tested
| Site | Best for | Min. cashout | My rating |
|---|---|---|---|
| Prime Opinion | Surveys only, fast payouts | $5 or $10, by country | 4.6 / 5 |
| Swagbucks | Many daily ways to earn, one of the biggest GPT sites | About $5 PayPal; gift cards from 100 SB | 4.3 / 5 |
| Freecash | Highest pay for game and app offers | $5 | 4.2 / 5 |
| ySense | Surveys plus other ways to earn, most countries | $10 PayPal | 4.0 / 5 |

Good app arnig beautiful full
Please read the review above. Paidera is a waste of time, in my experience, compared to many other ways to earn.
Sir opinianbehuru survay site is trusted?
Do you mean Opinion Bureau? If that is what you mean, then it is legit.
But which country do you live in? It is not available in all countries.
So i believe you reviews but what would you say about the trust pilot reviews regarding paidera?
The thing about Trustpilot reviews is that they are easy to manipulate. You can see this is the case with the unnaturally high number of reviews they have there and the unnatural high ratings. Not even the best of the best sites get this many positive reviews.
Paidera is known for getting people to spam positive reviews all over the place as they have that as a demand for you to ever get your earnings. As you get closer to cashing out, they will have more and more demands about what you need to do to get them and one of the things is to invite people or to leave these positive reviews to make it look like it is a really great site.
In reality, it is one of the worst sites I have ever tested and when you ever see a positive review you can see they are not genuine by the way they are written. I have never seen as a positive review of Paidera from someone that actually has been paid by them and that actually seems to know what they are talking about.
Hello,
I’m from Sri Lanka. The only sites which are available and has offers,studies,tasks are Remotask and Testable minds.(I’ve tried many mainstream sites which claims to be global more or less). Do you have any ‘not so popular’ survey/study/microtask or other type of sites you have reviewed and are worth the time spent that could work considering my demography.
Thanks.
Sri Lanka is not the country with the most option like this. But I will leave some links below to some sites where you will be able to find some tasks and surveys from Sri Lanka:

My accunt suspended what should my back accont
I would suggest you just use other sites instead of Paidera. There are so many sites that are better and give better value for your time.
Just try to create a new account
Paidera. com suspended my account because me and my wife working with same website…. its exciting, why family members not seperatrly in this site?? if yes working then why they blocked my account??… its fake website, they work you a half then block or suspend you near the payment …
as you can see in my review above, there are many reasons I do not recommend Paidera and I think it is a waste of time.
Their earning methods are ridiculous and they suspend people very easily without warning. Overall, there are just so many better sites where you can east faster.
If you want some suggestions for better sites, just let me know which country you live in, and I will be happy to give a few suggestions.

but paid era is not reply to this time,they not waist our time, i am agree to that more persons,paid era survey is too long but this site is paying to Indians,its a good thing
Thanks for sharing your opinion.
I think the whole way Paidera is created and how you are forced to share to get access to surveys is a big waste of time and it makes it more or less impossible to reach the payout threshold. And people spam all over the internet with links to Paidera hoping to get enouhg shares to get a survey. There really are better sites to join that are a lot more effective – also in India.
Also I India? Can you tell me which one?
You can check out the best sites in India here.
I completed all surveys, after that they forced me to referel 10 to 50 to get the more surveys.After that i tried to paid quizzes but there also soft hoodwinks, after completing some paid quizzes there also limitation means to complete their ambiguityful task.otherwise i can’ t get more quizzes.Now my dashboard shows i earned $13.1400.pls help me out.will they pay me ? or it is totally outwit? pls give me suggestion.
It seems like it is VERY difficult to ever get paid from Paidera as they keep coming up with new demands. In general, I think it is a site that is a complete waste of time. There are so many sites that are more transparent and where you can earn more effectively.
If you tell me the country you live in, I will be happy to give a few suggestions for great alternatives in your country.
Could you suggest me one best site for surveys in india ? Because i dont want to waste time on others.

Thank You for your information Mikael, I know now that my time is not worth for this Paidera.
You are welcome Joseph. No, Paidera is definitely not worth the time compared to so many other sites, in my experience.
And according to you inboxdollars is better than paidera.
I definitely think so. But it really does not take much to be better than Paidera, in my opinion. Most legit sites are better and give better value for your time.
I live in Kenya. Can you suggest sites I can do survey work from in my region. Thanks.

puede tener las recompensas mas bajas y ser muy difícil de ganar pero es una de las paginas que da encuestas para países como Venezuela. e probado muchas paginas y sin resultados al poder hacer encuestas
Do not really speak much Spanish Danny. But if I understand (with the help of Google translate), you are saying it is one of the few sites that give surveys for Venezuela. Thanks for letting me know about this.
Have you tried a site like Surveytime and Surveyeah? They should have available surveys in Venezuela as well.
Thanks,
Mikael
no ni las había escuchado las probare muchas gracias
You are welcome Danny. Hope they will work out for you. Let me know how it goes.
If i get 50$ through surveys
Can i cash out or it is a scam site?
I believe you would get your money BUT it would take you a VERY long time to reach $50 by taking surveys on Paidera compared to many other sites. I have not received any payments from it myself as I simply do not want to spend my time on it as there are many better options, in my opinion.
the experience is that you are not serious and I do not invite to join your platform.
you are scammers
Thanks for sharing your experience about Paidera so others can see.

Hi SBAI,
Sorry to hear about your bad experience with Paidera.
Just wanted to make sure that you are aware that they will not necessarily see your message here since this is a review site where I have made a review of them? So they will probably not see your comment.
But still thanks for sharing your experience so others can see it and take it into consideration before joining.
Mikael
