Best Game Apps to Make Money in 2025 [ & Where you earn the most]

I started trying to make extra money from side hustles a few years ago, and one of my favorite methods was from paid gaming opportunities I could do from my phone. These apps allow me to make money from bed. 

There are apps that can technically make you money through gambling, but I would not waste your time with these. I instead recommend the player-tester apps that will pay you to try new games.

These apps provide offers on behalf of game developers. Typically, you pick a game from their website to install, and complete in-game tasks for money, like reaching a high level. Here are the five best offers that provide these offers.   

Freecash 

Easy first choice. Freecash has the highest Trustpilot score, the highest average earnings ($35+ daily for the average user), a fantastic UI, and a huge variety of games.   

They also have a number of other bonus programs to increase your earnings. For instance, the first user to make it past $5000 each month earns an extra $500. 

You have to beat some serious grinders to be first to make it 5k, but they also offer several smaller bonuses for more casual users, like their Daily Ladder rewards. 

 

Scrambly 

Scrambly is a great alternative, with an easy-to-use UI, a good Trustpilot score, and a decent library of games. However, I have Scrambly slightly below Freecash in my rankings because the average daily earnings they report are around $17. 

I especially like Scrambly's VIP section for verified users, which is a feature I would like to see in all of these apps. 

Swagbucks 

Swagbucks is one of the oldest and biggest platforms that offer paid gaming deals, and they still have one of the widest libraries to pick from. 

However, my earnings from Swagbucks have noticeably decreased over the last three years, and I know earn far less than I do on Freecash and Scrambly. 

Mistplay

Mistplay has a poor Trustpilot score and a high minimum payout, so why am I even recommending it? Because I am a big fan of their Boosted Game scheme, which allows you to access higher-paying offers if you play highlighted games. 

I am quite indecisive and so being guided on what games to play via the Boosted feature is perfect. They also have pretty decent sweepstakes, which are a fun way to spend your funds. 

MyFreeApp

This is a new player on the market with a smaller library and fewer users, and for that reason I cannot vouch for their long-term reliability.

However, because MyFreeApp is a newer app, you can easily find great sign-up deals, and they currently offer very competitive earning rates for users.  

Those were the five best paid gaming apps in 2025. To make the most money, I recommend installing Freecash and putting your time into a single offer rather than splitting your time across multiple apps.
