We’ve known and followed this industry for over 20+ years and can confirm 95% of survey + product testing websites are scams or dodgy, however, the good ones can make you £200-£1500 a year, so it’s not all bad. To be earning £100s per year you will be putting in some heavy hours, but if done at times you would otherwise be just scrolling through Instagram or Tiktok it’s easy money. Product testing websites are even worse, a large number of them are full blown scam sites but some decent ones exist and most of the time you keep the product.
The most we’ve personally ever made in an hour of surveys was £15, that was for 2 hours in a chat-style conference with a company and about 20 other pre-selected highly relevant people, it doesn’t happen often but it does happen! You will generally be paid 17p to 86p per 10 minutes (so effectively up to £5.16 per hour) but the more you complete the more likely you will be invited to complete larger paying surveys where you can expect to earn upwards of £7 per hour (on a good week). Some of the links below we’ve worked with the company to highlight their services and in exchange we may earn a commission for sign ups.
To be clear, there are much better ways of earning income, however, surveys are ideal for extra income in your spare time.

Survey FAQs:
We suggest you have a dedicated email account for all surveys etc or alias email
You can soon run out of available surveys, so If you want to get a steady part-time income from them, we recommend signing up to them all.
Most survey sites require a certain amount (generally between £10-£25) before you can withdraw any money into a gift voucher, Paypal or bank transfer.
Once you request a withdrawal, it will generally take between a couple of hours to a couple of months but the money will eventually come just wait.
Any website offering you large cash sums i.e. £500 Tosco*/ADSA* vouchers, a free mobile phone like an iPhone for free IS A MASSIVE SCAM!!!!
Every day we see our competitors display adverts or even post text links to fake/scam survey websites on facebook etc, push the fact you can sign up to XYZ website in return for testing XYZ product, 99% of the time it’s bullsh*t.
The survey sites we’ve listed above have been around for several years and are all the market leaders so we suggest you start there, the best way to spot a fake is by seeing if they’re offering something too good to be true, i.e. a free product (worth £100s+), no company in their right mind will be doing that. Not even the manufacturers of these products give people products to test (& keep).
