How it works
You join for free, see tasks based on your ZIP code, and claim one. Tasks include shopping runs, photo audits, app trials and short online visits. You submit photos, receipts or other proof, and approved pay goes to your balance. Once you reach $5, you can withdraw the full balance to PayPal.
- Pick a task. Browse open gigs near your ZIP code and claim one that fits.
- Do it and snap proof. Upload photos or a receipt from your phone.
- Get paid. After approval, cash out to PayPal from $5. Most payouts land within 48 hours.
Ways to earn
- Shopping runs. Buy the listed item, get the purchase repaid up to the task limit, and keep it.
- In-store photo checks. Photograph a shelf or display at a nearby store.
- App trials. Use a new app for a few days and check in.
- Online tasks. Short surveys and site visits from home, in about ten minutes.
Example tasks
Examples shown on the Micromoola site. Availability varies by location.
| Photo audit at Target or Walmart | $8 |
| Budgeting app trial over 7 days, 3 check-ins | $12 |
| Walmart snack purchase task | $15, plus purchase repaid up to $10 |
| Cafe visit with 3 photos | $18 |
| Online return-policy site visit, about 10 minutes | $4 |
The catch
Approval is at Micromoola's discretion, and its Terms say finishing a task does not guarantee a reward. On Trustpilot, the complaints that repeat are rejected submissions, slow support, stores out of stock and pending payments. Some shopping tasks involve a purchase that is reimbursed only up to the limit on the task. Uncashed balances are forfeited after 60 days of inactivity, so cash out when you can.
Who it suits
People in the US or Canada who are out running errands anyway and want to see the pay before starting.
