If you’ve spent more than half an hour online in your entire life, you have probably seen at least one ad that promises to help you make money online.

Most of them are scam, of course; however, the variety of legit money-making apps and websites has grown significantly during the last decade, too.

In most cases, they pay you for completing small tasks for a fixed fee – e.g., clicking on ads or filling out surveys.

There are already apps, however, that promise an legit opportunity to earn effortlessly – or, in other words, by doing nothing.

One of them is Honeygain, a near-globally available passive income app for desktop and mobile devices. Can this be real, or is there some catch? Does Honeygain pay as it promises? Let’s dive in!

What’s Honeygain?

To start earning with Honeygain, a new user has to create an account and download the application on at least one device (there are installers for Windows, Linux, macOS, Android, and iOS available).

Both can be done on their official website – in fact, the team strongly recommends avoiding all unauthorized sources to prevent falling into the traps of fake apps and infected installers.

From the moment the user signs in and leaves Honeygain running, the app does all the work for them.

It shares the user’s extra internet bandwidth with Honeygain’s crowdsourced web intelligence network and pays a fixed fee for every MB shared. Once you earn $20 or more, you can cash out using PayPal or Bitcoin.

Wait, What Does ‘Web Intelligence’ Mean?

Using the bandwidth shared by their millions of users, Honeygain operates a crowdsourced web intelligence network, access to which they can then rent out to various companies that wish to collect publicly available web data from around the world.

It’s an absolute must for effective brand protection, price comparison, ad verification, and even app testing. Of course, all clients and business cases are verified and monitored to prevent fraud or abuse.

Did You Just Say Honeygain Collects Data?

Yes and no. It does help companies gather the data that’s publicly available on the internet anyway – however, the users’ private data is safe and secure.

When signing up, all they need to provide is their email address (bonus points for extra speedy sign-up!), and the app doesn’t ask for any permissions.

Naturally, you will need to provide a little more information to collect your payout, but Honeygain’s PayPal transactions are handled by a third-party partner Tipalti Inc., so again, you’re not telling anything much to Honeygain itself.

Bitcoin payments are made directly, but you only need to provide your wallet address for that.

Okay, how Much Can You Actually Earn?

There are two main ways to earn with Honeygain:

• Default Network Sharing (works all the while the app is running) – available globally, pays 1,000 Honeygain credits per 10GB of shared traffic
• Content Delivery (can be turned on/off manually in the app) – available in 40 countries (as of October 2021), only works on desktop devices, pays 6 credits per every hour the device is in Active mode

There are also a few ways to boost your balance, such as participating in the referral program which offers a lifetime bonus equal to 10% of your referrals’ earnings, or winning free credits in the app’s daily Lucky Pot for active users (winnings can range from 10 to 10,000 credits).

If you’re a social media fan, you should also follow Honeygain on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and/or TikTok, as they offer a chance to win even more credits multiple times every month.

As we mentioned already, you can cash out as soon as you earn $20, which is equal to 20,000 Honeygain credits.

So yes, the earnings don’t seem to be very high – however, free money for doing nothing actively is always good, whatever the amount.

The potential users can also see what they can expect by using the earnings estimator on Honeygain’s website.

Most Importantly, Does Honeygain Pay?

As of October 2021, Honeygain has been in the industry for almost two and a half years. Let’s be real: no scam could boast of such longevity – bad news take no time to spread around the web these days.

It certainly doesn’t seem to be the case with Honeygain: on Trustpilot, the app has over 3,600 reviews, averaging 4.3 out of 5 stars, and their social media followings are rather substantial.

In fact, Honeygain’s official TikTok alone currently has more than 100K followers.

Checking these user communities out resulted in finding dozens of screenshots happy users have uploaded to boast about the payments they received.

While the amounts seen on them rarely top $25, it’s still effortless earnings and a nice addition to anyone’s monthly income.
