Find the money.
Skip the bullshit.
Cash Quest scans ways to earn extra money online and through apps, screens them for legitimacy, and ranks what's left by payout potential, time required and real effective hourly rate — so you only spend time on the ones actually worth it.
Free to start. No guaranteed income. We never ask you to pay to unlock earnings.

How Cash Quest works
Four steps, repeated constantly, so your list stays current instead of going stale like a blog post from 2019.
Discover
Continuously collect earning opportunities across surveys, research studies, app testing, cashback, microtasks, gig work and more.
Verify
Screen each one for company legitimacy, payout reliability, transparency, privacy practices and upfront financial risk.
Rank
Score the survivors on effective hourly rate against your own time, location, devices and minimum acceptable rate.
Track
Log what you actually earned and how long it took, so your real hourly rate replaces our estimates over time.
The Cash Quest Trust Score
Every opportunity gets a 0–100 score built from eight separate factors: company legitimacy, payout reliability, transparency, privacy and data practices, user complaint risk, upfront financial risk, consistency, and whether the platform's own terms allow how you'd be using it.
It's an internal assessment, not a guarantee — and we show you the factors behind every score in a "Why this score?" panel. Anyone can flag an opportunity they think we got wrong.
- Purchases are never counted as earnings.
- Anything requiring you to pay first to unlock earnings is flagged, not featured.
- Where a platform bans automation, we label it "Human participation required".
Verified / Low concern
Checks passed on our last review. Still an assessment, not a guarantee.
Likely legit / Review details
Nothing alarming found, but some details deserve a read before you start.
Caution
Real concerns about payout, time claims or data practices.
High risk
Multiple serious concerns. Proceed only with eyes open.
Do not recommend
We would not spend our own time or money on this.
Same headline reward. Very different math.
This is why we rank on effective hourly rate and net value instead of the number on the banner. Example uses demo data.

Estimates, not guarantees. Every reward, time estimate and effective hourly rate on Cash Quest is an estimate based on our research. Opportunities change, expire, and vary by person and location. Cash Quest does not guarantee income, is not financial advice, and will never ask you to pay money to unlock promised earnings. Always read a platform's own terms before you start.
Stop searching for ways to make money.
Let Cash Quest find the ones actually worth your time.
