Signing up is free and always will be. We will never ask you for a fee, a deposit, or your card details.
Rewards are held in US dollars and withdrawn as crypto. No gift cards, no vouchers, no expiring balances.
Verification documents are stored privately, used once to confirm who you are, and never shown to researchers.
Every study lists its reward and rough length up front. Nothing is hidden until the end.
How it works
Getting set up takes most people under half an hour. We front-load the checks so that once you're in, studies are simply there waiting for you.
Tell us the basics: where you live, your background, the languages you speak. Researchers use this to match you to studies you actually qualify for, which means far fewer screen-outs.
A short set of questions on grammar and comprehension, plus a brief writing sample. Studies are written in English, and this keeps the quality high for everyone.
Take a picture of a government ID and a selfie holding it, straight from your phone. One person, one account. This is what keeps duplicate accounts out.
Your dashboard fills with studies you qualify for. Take the ones you like, skip the rest, and withdraw once your balance is ready.
One thing to expect: identity documents are reviewed manually. During busy periods that can take up to five working days. You can look around the platform while you wait, but you can't start a study until the check clears.
The studies
Researchers bring real questions: how people shop, what they trust, how they use the apps on their phone. Your answers shape products, papers and policy. Pick the studies that interest you, give them your honest attention, and get paid for every one that's approved.

Examples of the kinds of studies researchers run. What you see depends on your profile.
Getting paid
Rewards are held in US dollars. When you're ready, withdraw to a crypto address you control. Two costs come off the amount you request: the blockchain's own network fee, and a 5% platform fee. Both are shown before you confirm, so you always know what will arrive.
Tron network USDT address. Do not use an ERC20 or BEP20 address.
Litecoin mainnet address.
PaidSay is a way to earn extra money in the gaps of your week. It is not a full-time income, and anyone promising you that is not being straight with you.
How many studies you see depends on your profile, what researchers are currently running, and your track record on the platform.
FAQ
Yes. Creating an account costs nothing, and we will never ask you for a payment, a deposit, or your card details. If anyone claiming to be from PaidSay asks you for money, it is not us.
Because one person should have one account. Without an identity check, a handful of people with dozens of accounts each would take the studies meant for everyone else, and researchers would stop trusting the results. Your documents are stored privately, seen only by our review team, and never shared with researchers.
It depends on how many studies you qualify for and how much time you put in. Individual studies typically pay a few dollars for a few minutes of work. Treat it as extra money rather than a wage and you will not be disappointed.
Your rewards build up as a balance in US dollars. When you reach the minimum, you withdraw to a USDT (TRC20) or Litecoin address that you control. You will need a crypto wallet. Plenty of free ones exist, and any exchange account will give you an address.
Usually because the answers did not follow the brief: attention checks missed, contradictory responses, or text that appears copy-pasted. If you think a rejection was wrong, contact support and a person will look at it again.
For the identity check, yes. The photos must be taken live on a phone camera, which is what stops people uploading pictures of documents that are not theirs. Studies themselves work on a computer or a phone.
Your profile is used to match you to studies. Researchers see the answers you give in their study and the demographic details their study is aimed at, but never your name, your email, or your identity documents.
No. Duplicate accounts are the main thing our checks look for, and accounts found this way are closed. If you have lost access to an old account, contact support rather than making a new one.
Create your account, work through the checks once, and start picking up studies that fit your week.
