Survey Club App Review: Is the iPhone Survey App Worth Downloading?

By Karanga Oliver · Updated · 4 min read

Survey Club is an iPhone app for people in the United States and Canada that pays small rewards for surveys, daily check-ins and games. It's free to download, but it also sells a membership, which is something you should understand before you tap "subscribe". Here's the honest rundown.

The short version

Survey Club is a rewards app built for iPhone. According to its App Store listing, you can earn from surveys, daily check-ins, play-to-earn games and location-based rewards, and the developer says it passes most of the survey revenue on to users. The app is free to download and lists in-app purchases for a Survey Club membership (shown on the App Store at around $0.99–$2.99 a month or $12.99 a year at the time of writing). Our take: it's worth trying the free side first, completing a survey or two, and only considering the membership once you know you'll use the app regularly.

Who can use Survey Club?

Two conditions: you need an iPhone, and you need to live in the United States or Canada. The App Store lists it as iPhone only, so Android users and desktop visitors should look at options like Surveoo or TimeBucks, which work in any browser. If you're reading this on a computer but own an iPhone, open this page on your phone to install the app directly.

How to get started (the right way)

  1. Install the free app from the App Store and create your account.
  2. Fill in your profile. Surveys are matched to your demographics, so this is the difference between a trickle and a steady supply.
  3. Complete one short survey first. It shows you how rewards are credited and whether the surveys available to you are worth your time.
  4. Explore check-ins and games if you like them, but keep an eye on time spent versus reward.
  5. Decide on the membership last. Only pay if the math clearly works for you. Nothing forces you to subscribe to try the app.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Everything happens in one iPhone app
  • Several ways to earn: surveys, check-ins, games, location rewards
  • Developer says it keeps only a small cut of survey revenue
  • Free to download and try

Cons

  • iPhone only, US and Canada only
  • Sells a paid membership, so you need to be careful not to spend more than you earn
  • Third-party reviewers report a relatively high first cash-out and phone verification
  • Location rewards mean sharing your location, which not everyone wants

Cash-outs: what we know

Independent reviewers who have used Survey Club report cash-out options such as PayPal, Venmo, Cash App, bank transfer and gift cards, a first withdrawal minimum of around $20 on a free account (lower later, and lower with membership), and a one-time phone-number verification by text before you can withdraw. Apps change their rules often, so check the current terms in the app's rewards screen before you rely on any of these numbers. The general principle holds either way: a higher minimum means it takes longer to see your first payout, so pick it only if you'll use it regularly.

Should you pay for the membership?

The membership is the part to think about carefully. The pitch is that a small monthly fee unlocks better-paying opportunities and a lower withdrawal threshold. That can make sense for someone who uses the app daily. It makes no sense for someone who opens it twice a month. A simple rule: use the free version for a week or two, note roughly what you earned, and only subscribe if the fee is a small fraction of that. Never subscribe just to reach a cash-out. And if you do subscribe, set a reminder to review it, because App Store subscriptions renew automatically until you cancel them in your iPhone settings.

Is Survey Club legit?

It is a real app on Apple's App Store, which means it has passed Apple's review, and it is promoted through a mainstream affiliate network. That doesn't make every opportunity inside it equal. Some app-based "surveys" are closer to offers (install this, try that). Our advice is the same as for any rewards app: skip anything that asks for payment details you're uncomfortable sharing, and don't install apps you don't want just to earn a few cents. If you want classic surveys with no subscription angle at all, see our list of survey apps for iPhone.

Tips to earn more with less effort

Bottom line

Survey Club is a convenient, all-in-one iPhone app for US and Canadian users who like earning small rewards on the go. Try the free side first, complete a survey to see how it works, and treat the membership as optional. Go in expecting a few dollars rather than an income and it can be a pleasant way to use spare minutes.
